Students successfully completing this optional project will have to  attend four clear-night stargazing sessions with the instructor and then a fifth session to identify 30 objects in the night sky, with the objects being taken from the instructor's list.  Keep in mind the following:

 1.  The project has to be completed before Spring Break, without exception.

 2. This project requires a great deal of flexibility, as stargazing sessions are often announced with less than 24-hours' notice.  

 3. Weather can result in stargazing sessions being cancelled.

 4. Students completing this project can use the grade earned to substitute for the lowest grade earned on the first three tests.
