Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA
"Telescope Powers" laboratory worksheet for introductory astronomy laboratory. Students compare the light-gathering, resolving, and magnifying powers of two reproductions of 17th century telescopes, the Project STAR telescope (www.starlab.com/psprod.html#Anchor-Refracting-11481), and the International Year of Astronomy 2009 Galileoscope(TM) (www.galileoscope.org).
Note that for the purposes of this lab activity, the two rubber rings that hold the outer shell of the Galileoscope(TM) (www.flickr.com/photos/carolune/3742841214/) are unused, such that only the eyepiece assembly, and the front and back caps need to be removed/replaced for disassembly/reassembly.
