Dear Luke. S. Walker,

I believe that the Extended Time-3 should be the best ranked telescope because of it's capabilities. This telescope should be first because of its max viewing time. You can view it for 120 minutes which, I believe, is more than enough time to collect data and get a very good look. Its resolution is 0.10, which isn't very good at all, but you can view it for a very long time. This means that you have enough time to make out what's going on through the telescope. Its field of view is 2.40 x 2.40 which means it can see a very wide range and you can see it for a long time. Its time to focus is 15 minutes, which is the longest out of all the telescopes, but you also have a much longer viewing time than all of the telescopes. The spectrograph range is a good number, so you may see further. The second telescope should be Advanced Spectroscope-2. Its resolution is the worst of all the telescopes, but it has a very wide spectrograph range. The field of view isn't very big, but it can see very far. It only takes 5 minutes to focus, so that leaves 30 minutes of viewing time out of the 35 total minutes. The resolution shouldn't be a problem because you can see very far. The third telescope should be Wide Field-1. Its resolution is very good at 0.05. This means the image is very clear, letting you see a lot. The spectrograph range isn't the best, but the field of view is the biggest. This means you may see very wide, but not very far. This is good for this telescope because of it's great resolution. It takes 10 minutes to focus,, which is a long time because you may only view it for 30 minutes. The fourth telescope should be the Target Acquisition-5. The resolution isn't very good at 0.07, but the field of view is good. The spectrograph range isn't the best, but it still allows you to see very far. It only takes 7 minutes to focus out of the 45 viewing time, leaving a lot of time to collect data. The fifth telescope should be the High Resolution-5 telescope. Even though its resolution is the best, the max viewing time is only 25 minutes. With the 7 minutes it takes to focus, you are left with 18 minutes to collect data. That is not enough time at all, I believe. The field of view is very small, and the spectrograph range isn't very good. I believe that the capabilities of this telescope aren't very good. That is why i put this one as last.

Sincerely,
