Experimental Physics Project 

This project was completed in the final year of a Double Honours B, Sc. in Experimental Physics and Computer Science.  Entitled:

"Astronomy: Equatorial Mount and  Design of Filter Wheel",

it describes how the departmental telescope was set up and calibrated on an equatorial mount, software setup and the design of a filter wheel for astrophotometry and colour photography.

A presentation was given by myself and my partner Eoin Cartwright.  It summarises the essentials of the project.  In can be downloaded in MS Powerpoint here:
