Keycraft Extendable Children's Pirate Telescope

Product Information

Before you ask your students to make their telescope, it may be a good idea to show them in advance how to make the telescope. Demonstrating to your students how each of the components fit together can help your students better understand how to complete the task. We call this ‘modelling’. PIRATE (Physics Innovations Robotic Astronomical Telescope Explorer) has moved from its former home at the Observatori Astronomic de Mallorca and is continuing its photometric monitoring programme of variable stars, transients and transiting exoplanets. The 24 inch f/6.5 Corrected Dall-Kirkham Astrograph telescope (a PlaneWave CDK24) is equipped with an FLI ProLine KAF-16803 CCD camera and a choice of broadband and narrow-band filters. The mount is a 10Micron GM4000 robotic German equatorial model. COAST In this post, you can find all the important information about the five best spyglass telescopes currently available for sale.

The Open University has installed PIRATE and COAST at the Observatorio del Teide as part of its OpenSTEM Labs initiative that provides remote-access experiments to distance teaching students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics subjects. COAST will also become available for anyone to use, by subscription via telescope.org, much as was the case for ART. Spy telescopes offer many beneficial features. They are usually completely portable and they come with adjustable tripods which means that you can have a completely comfortable experience using them.
