Lab Report 3 In this lab‚ we will take a trip to the planetarium lab and will learn about Right ascension and declination‚ and altitude and zenith. After looking at the different points shown‚ we will log the altitude and zenith in the chart in our lab manual. Now we will look at the same points and label the right ascension and declination. Then we will learn about the easiest way to locate the star Polaris. As we started the first program‚ we answered a few questions to make sure we knew
