| | === Observation appointment and observation preparation === |
| | |
| | Dates for night observations can be reserved (if you are logged in) via the [[en:praktikum:reservation|date booking page]]. To prepare for the observation it is a good idea to browse the wiki and get familiar with the [[en:ost:telescope:grunddaten|technology]] and its [[en:ost:telescope:handling_new|operation]]. Furthermore, we also have articles on [[en:software:stellarium|Stellarium]] as well as on [[en:etc:simbad|Simbad]], which can be helpful for observation preparation. |
| | |
| | === Data evaluation === |
| | |
| | For the data evaluation there is a computer available, which is located in **room 2.009**. This computer can be used either directly on site or [[en::praktikum:zugang|remotely]]. |
| | |
| | The data analysis in the astronomical lab course is in most cases relatively simple and can mostly be done on your own computer. Nevertheless, for some of the observations we also offer a supervised data evaluation at the laboratory course computer. In comparison, the astrophysics lab course requires much more extensive evaluations, which are based on the routines and programs available on the laboratory course computer. |
| | /* |
| | Alternatively we offer a [[en:software:howto_virtualbox_ubuntu|virtual lab course computer]], which can also be set up on your own computer. |
