1. Imagine you are looking at an oncoming car through Johannes Kepler's telescope, What would be odd about the image? What could you do to modify the design to correct the oddity ? (Info: Keplers telescope was the first refracting telescope and used convex lenses for both the objective and eyepiece lens.
2. Under what circumstances would the oddity observed not matter?

1. The image is upside-down and laterally reversed. You could use a concave mirror to switch the image around.
2. If the car is very close, it won't be reversed. It won't be in focus either.

Kepler didn't have a telescope; he looked through the sight on an equatorial mount. That is, whenever his boss Tycho Brahe let him. Galileo had a telescope.
