SKY WATCHING FACILITIES

Skywatching or skygazing, can be for leisure or an activity of immense excitement when a student has keen interest in amateur astronomy. Astronomical observations can be made with the naked eye or with basic optical aids like telescopes. Many different celestial objects can be viewed while skygazing during both night and daytime.

The Department of Physics has a 4” diameter astronomical telescope installed for sky watching. Students and Teachers use it to find and view the planets or stars, or spend an early morning watching a meteor shower, or watch an eclipse, constellation, comets, etc.
