Using the 24-inch telescope and CCD camera at the Mees Observatory, you will observe Saturn and Neptune and their moons in order to measure the mass of these planets and validate Newton's law of gravity and Kepler's third law. All raw data can be found below. Please consult the shared Google spreadsheet for the processed data.
This is the
magic astro secret!
When two data files are listed in the same row, the first is of just the planet, and the second is an exposure that includes the planet and its moon(s).
