This is astory that aired on OETA Public Television’s The Oklahoma News Report in Tulsa Oklahoma as reported by Cathy Tatom and photojournalist Tim Carson. For more information or to contact us, please go to the new and improved www.oeta.tv The verbatim script follows below… THE NEWEST BUILDING AT McALESTER HIGH SCHOOL ISN’T VERY BIG. JUST A LITTLE BOX WITH A ROTATING DOME ON TOP. BUT WHEN THE DOME OPENS, THE COSMOS COMES INTO FOCUS FOR STUDENTS ACROSS THE DISTRICT. Dylan Ley/Astronomy Student: “We look at nebulas and galaxies and lots of stuff that other people don’t have the ability to.” THAT’S BECAUSE OBSERVATORIES AREN’T USUALLY FOUND IN HIGH SCHOOLS. BUT IT’S JUST WHAT ASTRONOMY TEACHER PHILLIP SCOTT ASKED THE DISTRICT TO BUILD WHEN SCHOOL OFFICIALS ASKED HIM A FEW YEARS AGO WHAT KIND OF LAB HE’D LIKE FOR THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT. Phillip Scott/Astronomy Teacher: “I know of other schools where they have telescopes, but I don’t know personally of another high school with a permanent observatory and I would be willing to bet there are not any with a remotely accessible telescope such as we have now.” COMPUTERS LET SCOTT REMOTELY ACCESS THE POWERFUL TELESCOPE IN THE SCHOOL’S NEW OBSERVATORY FOR THINGS LIKE TODAY’S LESSON ABOUT SUN SPOTS. Phillip Scott/Astronomy Teacher: “We have a deep sky camera very the very low light objects such as galaxies and nebula and then we have a lunar planetary imager for the brighter objects such as the sun.” THE OBSERVATORY ISN’T JUST USED …
Used a Meade DS-2000 telescope to record the video, a Canon Rebel with telephoto lens to take the picture and Sony Vegas to make the movie. Enjoy the show!

Best answer: Answer by Mike The meade scope barely ekes out as better than the others (this horse aint quite as dead as the others!) The barska scope is a spotting scope – fine for terrestrial viewing, not so great for astronomy. The tasco scopes are toys, and the others are just plain junk. Utter waste of money. Do not get *any* of these scopes if you think you are interested in astronomy. Get a decent pair of binoculars, a subscription to an astronomy magazine, and a sky atlas. Go out with a local astronomy club and see what scopes they use and what sort of sights they see. Save up a *little* more money. – gets you a decent pair of binoculars – it gets you a *lousy* telescope. For a reasonably fair starter telescope – expect to budget at *least* 0 – and 0 to 0 better. What do you think? Answer below! Johnny Carson Early life and career Born in Corning, Iowa, Carson grew up in Norfolk, Nebraska. He left college after one year to join the United States Navy, being commissioned an ensign. He joined the U.S. Navy on June 8, 1943, as an apprentice seaman enrolled in the V-5 program, which trained Navy and Marine pilots. He hoped to train as a pilot, but was sent instead to Columbia University for midshipman training. He performed magic for classmates on the side. Commissioned an ensign late in the war, Carson was assigned to the USS Pennsylvania, a battleship on station in the Pacific. He was en route to the combat zone aboard a troopship when the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki brought the war to a close. The Pennsylvania was torpedoed on August 12, 1945 and Carson reported for duty on August 14 the last day of the war. Although he arrived too late for combat, he got a firsthand education in the consequences of war.
