This course provides comprehensive training in astronomical observation methods and techniques, from planning observation programs to the professional analysis of data. Students will learn to use astronomical catalogs, calculate object visibility, and operate telescopes and instruments across different spectral ranges. The course combines theoretical foundations (positional astronomy, photometric systems, instrumentation) with hands-on practice in acquiring and reducing photometric and spectroscopic data using specialized software. It also covers the preparation of telescope time proposals and the use of virtual observatory tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
