I assigned my students in my astronomy class an observing project.
Basically all they have to do is plan a night of observing for the
date they are assigned.
I have told them that I have put all sorts of wonderful resources on
reserve for them in the library, like star charts etc.
They look at me like I am crazy and then ask me if it is on the web.
Using the www.google.com search engine, I just typed in two words,
"start charts". In a few seconds many star chart resources were listed
on my computer screen. One of these provided free star charts for
the current night . Perhaps the strudents were correct and should be
complimented for their insight.
