Abstract
This project looked for variability in quasars 3C273 and Mark 509. Between May 2003 and July 2003 several nights of data were taken on these quasars. The project was also to see if “good” data on quasars could be obtained using the BYU 16” telescope, since not much research has been done on this topic at BYU. Over the summer data were also taken on various other quasars whose brightness ranged between 12 and 14.
