Hmm ... what else can she tell them? You know, before she set them off to work... "Before you can begin your assignment, which will be looking for constellations in the sky, we need one main piece of equipment that will be vital to accurate observations. What equipment is this?"

Now after that lovely interruption... where was she? Right... "There's a problem however. Due to the months of not being used, the telescopes have become very dusty... And basically unfit for observing." Sniffle, sniffle. "So that is why during today's lesson, we're going to learning proper maintenance and cleaning techniques for the telescopes!" Yay!

"I'd like to start by everyone going over to the cabinet and selecting one telescope. And while you're selecting the telescope, please meet me at the back of the classroom at the large work table. You won't need your textbooks for this part of the lesson... " With that, she took her own dirty telescope and made her way back to the work table and waited for some students to join her.

Luin quickly wrote down everything they had talked about in the lesson so far, about constellations, why they were studying astronomy, the kinds seen now, etc. She then watched as the professor got up and went to the back of the classroom with her telescope. She then got up and selected a decent-looking telescope. It was a bit dusty, but seemed undamaged. She then walked to the back work table with the professor.
