OMSI Astrometry and Photometry Workshop

Astrometry and photometry are two ways to measure celestial objects. Astrometry is measuring the position of the object and photometry is measuring the intensity of the object. This workshop presented the various aspects of these measuring techniques for those who had no previous experience. The workshop labs took attendees step-by-step in making astrometry and photometry measurements.

This OMSI workshop was sponsored and hosted by Jim Todd.
