    So for the first thing

    • Project Proposal: Working with camera that we can put on the telescope.
    • Background: At the Lab, we have a telescope that can be powered by the computer. We also have a camera that we can attach to the telescope. So if we could first make the camera work, and then try to make it possible to show it during a video conference, it would be very cool.
    • Materials needed: Telescope, windows operating system, and camera.
    • Who will be involved and how: Only me and I will be doing all the work.
    • Procedure: 1. Figure out how to control the camera with the computer. 2. Figure out how to attach the camera. 3. Make the camera visible on the computer. 4. Make the camera visible through video chat.
    • Expected Outcomes: I think that the camera will work properly and that I will be able to make it go live.
    • Benefit to you: I will learn a lot about telescopes.
    • Benefit to manking: It will be possible to learn more about the night sky without the need for a high tech telescope.
    I also tried the program that you gave me for VR tours and it only stitched parts together and some parts were just left blank. I'll talk about it to you in class.
