Purchase a telescope with a simple (but quality) mount. Another of the important items that come with a telescope are the eyepieces. The eyepiece is where you look through the telescope. Eyepieces come in a variety of types and sizes; using different ones allows you to change the magnification of the telescope.
Monday, November 17, 1997 Published at 23:50 GMT. Special Report. Windsor Castle - five years from disaster to triumph. It took 1.5 million gallons of water to put out the fire. On November 20, 1992 much of Windsor Castle, the Queen's weekend residence, was destroyed by fire. More than 100 rooms, covering an area of 7,000 square metres, were damaged in the blaze, which is thought to have been started by a spotlight shining on a curtain.
The fire is the second major blaze in a royal palace in six years. In 1986, Hampton Court, Henry VIII's palace 15 miles west of London, suffered severe damage that took five years and millions of dollars to repair. The original Windsor Castle was built by William the Conqueror in about 1070.
