Dear Luke S. Walker,

Thank you for contacting us with your request. We have analyzed the telescopes you gave us, and here are the results: Overall, the telescope that had the best rating would be the Target Acquisition. Its best statistic is the time to focus, which is a mere 1 minute, but the worst is its spectrograpgh range, which is only 100-900 NM. The second best telescope would be the Wide Field. The best statistic for that telescope would be its field of view, which is 3.25 x 3.25 arc minutes. Its two worst statistics are the time to focus on maximum viewing time. It takes 10 minutes to focus, and the maximum viewing time is 30 minutes, so you only get a total of 20 minutes to look through it at something. The best for wanting to look at something for a very long time would be the Extended Time, which gives you a total 105 minutes of actual time to study what you're looking at. However, its resolution is not very good. If you wanted to detect many wavelengths with your telescope, build the Advanced Spectroscope. Its spectrograph range is 10-5000, which covers UV light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves. But, it was the lowest resolution of all the telescopes.
 * || Resolution || Spectrograph Range || Field of View || Time to Focus || Max Viewing Time || Overall Rating ||
 * Wide Field || 2 || 2 || 1 || 4 || 4 || 2.6 ||
 * Advanced Spectroscope || 5 || 1 || 4 || 2 || 3 || 3 ||
 * Extended Time || 4 || 3 || 3 || 5 || 1 || 3.2 ||
 * High Resolution || 1 || 5 || 4 || 3 || 5 || 3.6 ||
 * Target Acquisition || 3 || 4 || 2 || 1 || 2 || 2.4 ||

We hope this helps you choose the telescope to build. Thank you for asking for our help.

Sincerely, GRI
