In support of AST~208, the MSU Observatory underwent a significant upgrade this winter, with assistance from the contractor \href{http://www.astronomical.com/}{Astronomical Consultants \& Equipment}. The observatory is now equipped with a spectrograph, which opens up new avenues for hands-on scientific inquiry with MSU's on-campus facilities. The development of such labs is ongoing, and will be completed and tested next academic year.
In addition, students gain experience with eyepiece observing and telescope manipulation in a newly designed lab making use of the telescopes on the roof of the Biomedical Physical Sciences
Building. Building (Fig.\ \ref{fig:bps}). Each lab group gets access to a telescope; they must calibrate the GPS controls, point the telescope to astronomical objects of interest, and communicate what they see graphically.
