Re: Astronomy C
So I know that having notes about DSOs and equations is worthwhile, but what kinds of notes should we include on like H-R diagrams, spectra, light curves, etc. Is it worthwhile to just take a bunch of notes on those to have or just learn whatever you can and ctrl+f through a giant list of wikipedia ...

Re: Optics B/C
I've been using a college level physics textbook for a lot of my studying, but it doesn't really cover topics like the Visible Spectrum and Bright Line and Absorption Spectra

Re: Optics B/C
Does anyone have any good resources for the operating principles of optical equipment and learning pretty much anything for the Physical Optics part of the test?
