# Telescope animated icon

The telescope spots a star. Light: the tube swings up onto the star and stops dead with a small rebound, the star flares and twists as it is found, and the tube lowers. Strong: the tube dips first, swings higher onto the star with a recoil, holds on the find while the star flares twice, then lowers. The post and base never move.
