THE SUN LAB ASSIGNMENT 1. Download your visible light solar images and red light images the file links below. Download your group's photos here. Choose your favorite 2 pictures to work on. 2. Work on the visible light image. Download the Powerpoint portrait template file here, put your visible light image onto a slide. Your goal is to identify any visible sunspots on the image and illustrate how big they are by drawing in a solid circle (placed near to a sunspot) that represents the approximate size of the Earth. Note that the diameter of the Sun is 1.39 million km and the diameter of the Earth is 12,700 km. 3. Work on the Hydrogen-alpha image. Insert your Hydrogen-alpha solar image onto a second Powerpoint slide. Identify and label any solar prominences. Estimate the sizes in km's of the prominences and put in a solid circle that represents the approximate size of the Earth. 4. Work on improving the quality of the images in Powerpoint by adjusting the Brightness and Contrast of both images on the slides. Make sure you have a relevant slide title, correct date, approximate time, and your name on each slide. 5. Send me your Powerpoint file containing the two images above and turn in the 2 page lab worksheet I handed out in class on Thursday. OBSERVING LAB #1 - The Moon Lab 8:30-10:30pm, Wednesday September 14, 2016: We photographed the Waxing Gibbous Moon from the soccer field at Oxford College. Group 1 Moon Photos Group 2 Moon Photos Moon Lab Procedure: 1. Download your Moon images and the lab manual from the links above. 2. If you need to stitch together 2 Moon photos, use Microsoft Ice or ask Dr. Segre. 2. Label features on your Moon image. Open up Powerpoint Portrait template, put the Moon image onto both of the slides. Use the Brightness/Contrast controls to improve the appearance of your image. 3. Email me your powerpoint file containing two slides, one with the Moon labeled according to the lab manual, and one without any labels, just the Moon.   Computer Software Needed for ASTR116
