I have been using this text to teach for over 20 years, since it was Hoff Kelsey and Neff. It is the only workbook on observational astronomy worth buying. That said, I do not use it as a lab manual for my introductory college-level class, but rather for my 200-level observational astronomy class. As it is self contained, and includes many historically important exercises, it is the perfect workbook for a process based class.The upper level students can use it for homework, to get a broad outline of the subject of observational astronomy. It is not all they do, but it provides plenty of interesting exercises in both planetary science and traditional astronomy to keep their interest.I have also used it to teach gifted middle school students in an intense summer class, and it worked just fine for that too. If you have a brilliant middle school, or high school, student looking for something to work through over the course of a year, it may be just the thing.
It's made very flimsily and could easily rip to shreds...but I guess it'll do for whatever class you need it for.
Many pages missing and handwriting everywhere.
