Galileo's scope
Considering you can spend 200squids on a telescope and just manage to
see a single ring around Saturn, and some of the moons as dots, which is Galileo saw some centuries ago, I'm assuming that whilst he obviously benefitted from next to no light pollution, he must have had some nifty optics for the time?
