Homework will be in two parts, so please take careful note of the two separate due dates for each part.
⌦ Part 1 for 10 points
I want you all to witness first hand how stars revolve around Polaris, so for this assignment you will spend ALL night stargazing on the grounds. I will set up camp near the Black Lake with all the essentials for you to complete this. You are to find Polaris and track the path of one of the Five Circumpolar Constellations AND a constellation of your choice on a piece of parchment.

OOC: You should RP in this thread on the grounds to complete this assignment. You should have a minimum of 5 posts in order to be eligible for full credit and should include

Up to 5 points extra credit may be given for outstanding efforts.
⌦ Part 2 for 10 points

Remember that the stars will rotate counterclockwise as the night moves on
