Students perform measurements with sextants and solarscope by themselves in order to determine the geographical lattidute. the distance of the moon and the sun, the rotation of the sun, the size of sunspots, the equation of time and the analemma. During the night the students perform measuremennt with different telescopes by themselves and gain first experience with astro-photography.
