sessions are held at the SWOSU Observatory during
four different weeks each semester. (View
schedule) The times will be announced in class and on
the information line during the week before each
session. Students
may receive 5 points of extra credit for each session
attended up to three sessions in separate weeks (15 points
maximum). To
receive credit for attendance, students must be
present at the beginning of the session, sign the
roll sheet, and remain until excused. Although
credit is given for a maximum of three sessions,
students are encouraged to attend all four weeks
if desired.
There
are no drinking fountains, restrooms, heating or
cooling at the observatory. Dress and
prepare accordingly. Smoking is not allowed at the observatory
site. Leave food and drinks in your car. There is limited
parking; try to car-pool as much as possible.
If
the sky is clear then the session will be held. If it is completely
cloudy, then the session is canceled. In the event of marginal
viewing conditions call the Observatory Information Line at 580-774-3225 option 3 (3225 option 3 on campus) to obtain the latest available information. Except under extraordinary
conditions, a session cannot be canceled because
of weather until about an hour before the session is scheduled to
begin. Except
during observing weeks the information line will
have the dates and times of the next observing
sessions.
