Michele's Astronomy Web Page

This spring of 1998 I have been doing an independent observing project with Cindy Blaha. Alas this term I was without my previous observing partner, Margaretha Warnicke, who has moved on to bigger and better things. The term has involved a lot of review reminding myself of imaging procedure, but I can happily say it has ended with several results. I now know how to set up and Lx200 even with the electronic paddle. I can even get it to work when it doesn't decide to tell me strange things. Likewise, I think I finally understand the focusing process for the CCD camera. Unfotunately, I learned all of this right before graduating, but at least I can now say I really understand what I am doing. With that I would like to present my web page. Hopefully you will enjoy browsing through my miscellaneous collection of images and astronomical history.

Astronomy History

This page has some interesting astronomy history information drawn from my comps thesis on women astronomers and various other tidbits about the history of astronomy at Carleton.
