Have a look at the 'Children of the Moon' presentation, it's a great resource and documents some of the experiments already done, and I think the project that this activity was originally designed for: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Moon#Learning_Resources For low end cost, you're looking for a monocular and a way to mount it on the XO. I have a couple on order to do testing here (Brunton Echo 10-30x 21, and a Praktica 12x 32). For Luna type observations don't go for less than x10 magnification or the Moon image won't really be large enough to do much with, but I guess you could use lower magnification monoculars for other subjects. --Gary > Thanks > Tabitha (NZ testers) > _______________________________________________ > Sugar-devel mailing list > Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
