What is Redshift?
-The distances to 30 different galaxies were computed before camp using redshift.
-Redshift is the movement of spectral lines toward the red end of the spectrum as light from distant objects is stretched.
-Redshift can be used to calculate the recessional velocity of objects.
-After obtaining the recessional velocity of an object, one can calculate its distance using Hubble's Law.

Our Camp Observations
We chose 4 different objects to observe with the CCD camera on the 61'' Kuiper Telescope
-NGC 6946 (Sc)-NGC 7331 (Sb)-NGC 7604 (Sa)-NGC 7217 (Sa)

Photometry
~Adding up the brightnesses of the disk and the bulge gives the total brightness of the galaxy
~ IRAF was used to reduce the data
~Integration of the disk and bulge data was the final step before finding the distance

Finding the Distance
-(f1)(d1)^2=(f2)(d2)^2
-We used known redshifts as one of the distances in the equation
