"Small optical telescopes of aperture ~8"-16" have proved very useful in teaching astronomy at different levels in schools, colleges and universities. The availability of low-cost backend instrumentation (e.g. stellar photometer, CCD camera and stellar spectrograph) together with increased sophistication in telescope and computer technology as well as in data acquisition, reduction & analysis software packages has enhanced the capability of small telescopes in modern era of ever increasing sizes of large optical telescopes. This in turn has influenced the way astronomy is taught effectively with the objective of spreading the joy of observational astronomy among students and tuning their excitement for a career in pure science subjects. In this talk I plan to talk about possible projects that can undertaken in Universities/Colleges as part of the Physics course. This is based on observational exercises and projects carried out by the students of our department as a part of their Astronomy course. The projects include atmospheric extinction measurements, calibration of CCD camera and photometer, and tracing light curves of various types of bright variable stars e.g. Cepheid, Delta Scuti, Eclipsing binaries like Algols, and active (RS CVn type) stars."

There are myriads of bright and luminous objects in the universe, ranging from - stars, nebulae, gamma-ray bursts, galaxies, quasars to gigantic systems like clusters and superclusters of galaxies. This talk will be a guided tour through the fascinating menagerie of astrophysical entities, focusing on their physical nature, enormity of length scales and the current understanding of these systems. The key players that lead to such a variety of astronomical sources in our cosmos are: gravity and the second law of thermodynamics. The talk will discuss all these aspects at a very introductory level. Changed line 94 from:

'''Abstract''' to:
'''Abstract'''\\ As the Earth rotates on its axis, the objects in the sky seem to move across the sky throughout the day and night. Astrophotographers use 'Equitorial' telescope mounts with a 'Polar Axis' to help compensate for the Earths Rotation while taking photographs. Aligning the 'Polar Axis' of these mounts parallel to Earths rotational axis is is critical to Astrophotography. While a rough alignment may be good for visual observations, it can be very crude for long exposure Astrophotography and cause stars to leave a trail. This session would begin by touching some of the problems arising from inaccurate polar alignment, such as 'Field Rotation' or 'Drifting' of stars in Right Ascension and Declination and go on to explaining the tools and techniques of obtaining quick and precise polar alignment such as 'Polar Alignment Scopes' and 'Drift Alignment' (also called 'Star Drift' method). If 'Drift Alignment' technique has evaded you until now and lack of its understanding is preventing you from serious Astrophotography, fear No more. The explanation in this session and a practical demonstration under the stars on 4th night will make it a breeze. September 30, 2008, at 12:49 PM EST

My talk will be focused on the new opportunities for doing new research at home or, perhaps, more feasibly, in schools and universities. I will mention two projects using multiwavelength astronomy but will concentrate on the changes that fast computing and ready access to information have brought to research. Although the full potential of the new Information Age has not been achieved as yet, we are beginning to bring true research to the masses. My talk will serve as an introduction to the more detailed projects presented by the next speakers. Added lines 214-215:
