The Randolph-Macon physics department will improve the laboratory               component of its Introductory Astronomy offering by unifying the                experience around a central theme.  The purchase of key items of                laboratory and observatory equipment will focus the educational task on         the range of observing tools and techniques available in modern visible-        light astronomy.  Experiments in photography, spectroscopy, and                 photometry will be offered.  Each method will be studied in an indoor           laboratory setting to provide sufficient skill development prior to             applying the techniques in the college observatory.  The project will           add laboratory spectrometers, a telescope-mounted photometer, and a             computer for instrument control to the equipment already available.
