Introduction
Your Nancy B.’s Science Club MoonScope™ is a refractor telescope. A refractor collects
light through a large objective lens and directs it through the telescope to the eyepiece
for magnification. Of course, you can use your MoonScope to look at the moon, but
since it’s really a telescope, you can also use it to look at other objects in the night sky
as well as objects here on Earth.
Getting Started
1. First, use the list and pictures below to identify each part of your MoonScope.
