How to choose astronomy lab equipment

• Telescope type: the Refractor Telescope Mercury (60 mm) and the Refractor Telescope Capricorn (70 mm) are achromatic refractors; the Reflector Telescope Explorer is a Newtonian reflector with a 150 mm parabolic primary mirror and a Barlow lens with camera adapter.
• Magnification with the optics included: Mercury x35, x70 and x140; Capricorn x36, x72, x90 and x180; Explorer x30, x60, x75 and x150.
• Sun, Earth and Moon: the Orbit Tellurium is geared to show each month as the Earth orbits the Sun and covers day and night, seasons, phases of the Moon and eclipses; it runs from a 6 V transformer.
• Solar system scale: the Orbit Orrery is a hands-on model with a teaching guide, and the Solar System Poster Set shows each planet at its correct relative size.
