Teaching Astronomy Using Tracker
written by
Mario Belloni, Wolfgang Christian, and Douglas Brown
The paper Teaching Astronomy Using Tracker describes two new video analysis experiments for the teaching of astronomy made possible by Tracker, a free, open-source video analysis tool. In this paper we describe how to use Tracker to determine the sidereal day and the solar rotation rate from series of still astrophotographs.
