Meeting point for the observations is at the gate of the Landessternwarte. You may come up either by own car or using the bus nr. 39 which runs every full hour. You'll arrive at the LSW approx. 25min later. If you come by car, pls. leave it just to the right hand side before the gate. The observations will last 4-5hrs. Return for participants without car 28min after full hour each using the "Ruftaxi" (free of charge if you have a "Semesterticket" or 1,50 Euro otherwise). Arrangements will be made via the assistant. In case not all participants werde able to conduct their observations during the dates offered (e.g. due to bad weather), we will arrange further observing sessions in January 2013.

Online registration has been disabled (see above)!

Registration is now open with the observations starting on Oct 22. On October 20 the first assignment of observing nights can be found on that page. It will be updated every Thursday.

You can also register at a later stage. Once the first round of scheduled observations is over, new dates for the unsuccessfull groups will be defined as well as observing dates for the participants who have registered later on. The assignment of the dates will always been made based on the DOODLE entries.

The assistants for the observations are Dennis Kügler , Tel. 06221-541733, Julian Stürmer , Tel. 06221-541773 and Trifon Trifonov , Tel. 06221-541722.

Preparation and outline of the observations: Pls. download the script for the observations here . For the evening pls. go through part 1 and 2 of the script and solve the questions. At the begin of the evening you will first get an introduction to the telescope and the CCD-camera by the assistant followed by a discussion on whawt you have done for the preparation of the evening (parts 1 and 2 of the script). Than the observations follow. The data taken during the night will be reduced and analysed as part of the astro-lab in February (part 3 of the script).

Pls. have warm clothes with you. It can be very cold at the Königstuhl during the night.

Since it is unclear at present how many participants would like to take part in the astro-lab in February (and hence need to observe) we scheduled 2 weeks in February by now. Since the capacity of the room, where the astro-lab will be held is limited, we may offer an additional week. Alternatively you can shift your participation on the astro-lab to autumn 2012 (to be held from September 30 - October 11, 2013). The observations will than be carried out during that period (weather is normally pretty good during this time of the year). In addition, there are not so many participants in autumn, i.e. this is a convenient alternative. Registration for the astro-lab will start around mid-March 2013.
