Post-Observation Summary

Telescopes are pretty neat pieces of equipment. I’m sure that some of you have owned (or

own) a smal l telescope as a child. For oth er s, this is the ﬁrst time you’ve gotten to use one.

We’re quite fortunate t h a t we’re a b l e to use these tools in an introductory astronomy lab.

Not too many schools do t h a t .

As you’ve heard before, astronomy is an observational science. Without equipment like

ground telescopes, radio telescopes, or Hubb l e space telescopes, we’d really have no way of

studying the universe. By learning about telescopes: how they work, how to use them, their

limitations, how to improve them, what they do, and what they don’t do; we can improve

the technology needed to probe deeper into space.

After completing this lab, you should be abl e to:

Know how to use the controls on th e telescope and use them witho u t damaging the

telescope.

Find a star or planet and align the telescope on it.

Focus the telesco pe.

Explain how to get greater magniﬁcation

Explain how to get greater resolution
