Astronomy Research at Warren Wilson College with CCD Camera and Small Telescope

Abstract A Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) camera coupled to a small (8-inch aperture) telescope allows quantitative measurements of a number of astronomical phenomena. Three types of measurements will be described using this equipment: Jupiter eclipse timings, cluster color photometry, and studies of comets. Other types of measurements will be briefly discussed.
