    Observing the Lunar Motion through the Stars -Timing Grazing Occultations of Stars by the Moon

        Description:

          In this exercise students will observe and time grazing stellar occultations by the Moon. They will use a telescope to make either visual or video observations. They will use freeware software for occultation predictions and for photometry. Then they can analyze their data and produce a best-fit model for the specific lunar limb region (mountains and valleys) where the grazing occultation was observed. Their results can be compared to Kaguya LTA data.
