Which of this applies to you?

Answering these takes the parts that are not for you out of Astronomy Merit Badge. Nothing is required, nothing is kept on the server, and nothing is ever hidden because a question went unanswered. A step that might apply to you stays on the list and is marked.

Requirement 8: which observing project, and has your counselor agreed it?

The badge says "With your counselor's approval and guidance, do ONE of the following". Two routes need an audience, one makes requirement 4 a prerequisite, and one needs no clear sky at all.

Requirement 9: a career, or a personal hobby?

The badge says do ONE of the following. Both are research and a discussion with your counselor, and neither needs a clear night.
