I’m teaching a basic astronomy class, and your photo’s of the telescope are wonderful teaching aids. Thank you!

I too enjoyed reading this article and learned so much of Galileo’s progression with lens and telescopes, all assisting in his investigations of the universe. So early, and yet remarkable in its sophistication.

I agree with the comment above. It was fascinating to learn Galileo learned to grind and polish his own lenses as we take our optics so much for granted.
