Mapping the Motion of Saturn in the Sky

Follow the instructions in the Mapping the motion of a planet in the sky lab. For Jupiter, you will need a 200% blow-up of the SC001 star chart (the long one) around the region of Taurus and Gemini. Observe the position of Saturn every other week.

Due Date: The lab is finally due on April 18, the last day your observing log is turned in for grading. However, because this lab requires observations throughout the semester for meaningful results, you must have completed at least two observations by the February 14 due date, and at least five observations by the March 21 due date.
