visual observations and CCD imaging using the 1-metre telescope at the Allan I

Moon Observations Assignment
Introduction
The Moon is familiar to everyone. Its monthly cycle of phases are readily visible and the full Moon in particular is often a source of interest to the news media. The Moon is a source of interest of Science articles, poetry, epic fictional stories and movies.
In this exercise however, we will introduce you to the “real” Moon, revealing craters, plains of dried lava, phases, etc., through both direct visual observations and CCD imaging using the 1-metre telescope at the Allan I. Carswell Observatory (AICO). Remember, when visiting the Observatory to view the Moon, dress appropriately for the weather. The temperature in the dome at the telescope will be the ambient temperature outside.
Each student will receive 2 (digital) images of the Moon (taken at the AICO) to analyze.
Reserving an Observing date
The best time (or at least the most convenient) to view the Moon is arguably around first quarter phase.
Observing will (likely) be done with the 40 cm telescope of the AICO, accessible on the Arboretum Parking Arcade. (Renovations to the observatories domes over the summer will preclude observing with the 1-metre telescope.)
Note that you do not have to attend an observing session to complete the assignment. However, you do have the opportunity to observe the Moon in essentially a “private” (class) session so you are encouraged to take this opportunity.
Appropriate dates will be made available to the class for viewing on eClass. Obviously viewing is weather dependent and thus several nights in June and July will be available for sign-up. Observing will begin normally between 8 and 9:00 PM on the dates available and conclude around an hour later. A viewing session will run no more than an hour (normally much less). If you sign up for a session and it is clear, please proceed to the observing location where staff will conduct the Observing session. Each session starts promptly at the time specified.
Please note that only 15 students will be allowed in each observing session to minimize wait time and maximize your enjoyment. Book early!
In-person Moon Observing
Upon arrival at the telescope, you will be given a quick summary of the telescope operation (including the all-important focusing process). You will then be given the opportunity to observe the Moon under low magnification. Think of this as a “Galileo moment”! Pay close attention to the variety of surface features and the roughness of the terrain especially near the terminator. For those interested in attempting a cell phone image, ask the staff about this possibility. (No guarantee on the success of such a photograph but many good images have been taken.)
Assignment Requirements

  1. Record the date and time of the Moon images you are provided. (1 mark)
  2. Determine what the date of the last New Moon was prior to your Observing Session. (1 mark)
  3. How “old” was the Moon (a number of days since the previous new Moon) on the date of your Observing session and what was its lunar phase? (1 mark)
  4. Print your (PDF) images of the Moon sent to you following your Observing session. (I recommend to use a “Landscape” printing option.) Alternately to printing, use a program that will allow you to “mark up” the images. From your CCD images, identify and name three natural features. Mark the relocations on your CCD images. These can be mountains, craters, seas, etc. At least one of these features must be a crater. You will need to research lunar maps and features. (3 mark)
  5. Name and identify where on your image one spacecraft mission from any nation resides. This can include a controlled landing or a crash site. Again, research will be required to identify such a location. (1 mark)
  6. Once identified, briefly summarize (a couple of sentences each) the pertinent information about all four features such as their size, formation, date of impact, etc. (4 mark)
  7. Mark on both the CCD images the cardinal directions (North, South, etc.) (1 mark)
  8. Measure carefully in millimeters your identified crater from 4 above. Knowing its true size in kilometres, determine the scale of your image in kilometres per milimetre. Show your working. (2 mark)
  9. Look up the average diameter of the Moon in kilometres. With your scale from 8 above, what would be the diameter of a lunar image in milimetres? (2 mark)
  10. Inspect each of your two images. Decide where the least and the most heavily cratered sections on the images are located. Draw two, 5 cm boxes encompassing these two sections being sure not to include any portion of the terminator or limb. Carefully count the total number of craters
    (ALL sizes) within each of the boxes and record the numbers. (2 mark)
  11. What does the difference in the number of craters in each box suggest to you? Explain your reasoning. (2 mark)
  12. Be sure to include the references you have used to locate and describe your lunar features. (1 mark)
    Submission of the Assignment
    On the course eClass website, you need to submit the responses to the above 12 questions along with the annotated lunar images you have used. The cover page should include your name, student number, course (PHYS 1470) and the date. Submit the assignment in a PDF format only. (You are permitted to include lunar images in a variety of picture formats.)

Assessment Task 3 Instructions
Carefully read the following:
Assume that one of the risks that you identified in your risk management plan was the inability to attract sufficiently qualified and knowledgeable staff to manage the new retail stores, and that the risk treatment identified is to invest in the training and development of existing staff to fulfil this role, at least in the short term.
It was identified that two of the existing customer service representatives are interested in taking on this new role. Neither of the two customer service representatives have managerial skills nor knowledge, but they both have excellent company and product knowledge, as well as customer service skills. The company funded both of the staff members to attend. These staff members are currently managing the two new stores.
A staff survey was sent to the two members of staff who completed the training, and their responses are collated in the Training Survey Results.
It is now one year later, and the retail stores have now been established in Sydney and Melbourne for five months. Each store employs a Manager, 2 full-time retail assistants and several part-time and casual staff.
Financially, both stores are performing well, and are already covering their own overheads.
A week ago, both managers were asked to give feedback on how they are coping with their new responsibilities, and how the training that they received helped prepare them for the tasks that they perform today. Their responses are collated in the Manager Feedback.
Complete the following activities:

  1. Monitor project risk
    As set out in the Risk monitoring and review processes section of the Risk Management Plan, regular risk review processes have to be followed to maintain the currency of the Plan.
    Monitoring the risk environment regularly helps to identify changed circumstances that may impact on the project risks.
    Review the Training Survey Results and the Manager Feedback, as well as the case study information above, and from Assessment Task 2.
    Identify changed circumstances impacting project risks
    Determine risk responses to changed environment
  2. Write a Risk Management Evaluation Report
    Develop a report for the General Manager that gives an honest evaluation of how well the staff training performed as a risk management treatment. Your report should include, as a minimum, the following:
    • Review the project outcomes to determine the effectiveness of:
    o The risk management treatments.
    o The risk management processes and procedures.
    • Recommended improvements for application to future projects
    Describe the changes you would make to your Risk Management Plan to ensure that the risk treatment is more effective the next time a new store is opened.
    • Identify circumstances that have changed since you wrote your risk management plan, and how the changes may impact project risks
    • Determine risk responses to the changed environment
    Use Evaluation Report Template to guide your work.
    Your evaluation report should be between half a page and a page long.
  3. Send an email to the CEO (your assessor).
    The text of the email should be in grammatically correct English, written in an appropriate (polite, business-like) style.
    It should introduce and summarise the contents of the attachment and seek their feedback and approval to move forward with the project.
    Attach your evaluation report to the email.
  4. Send an email to the store managers (your assessor).
    Assume that the General Manager has given approval for you to implement two of the risk responses that you listed in your evaluation report.
    Choose the responses that you feel would be most beneficial to the managers and write them a short email to inform them of this.
    The text of the email should be in grammatically correct English, written in an appropriate (polite, business-like) style
