OBSERVATION LOG SHEET



Directions: Go to the UF student observatory on a clear Friday night. Look at various astronomical objects through one of the telescopes and then fill out this form. Don't try to complete the form while you are actually at the Observatory but rather do this after you return home. Don't forget to have an observatory staff member give you a token. You must attend at least one observing night and complete this log sheet to obtain full credit for the Observing Project I. This form should be turned in on or before April 22th.
