The first explorers used them to navigate, why cant we?
In Minecraft there are no real stars just a bunch of squares sprinkled around the sky. What I was thinking is making stars more usefull and stuff like that. When you travel at night you will know where your house is and etc. My idea is to make the North Star (or the brighest star in the sky) over your spawn. You can see it from anywhere in Minecraft so if you build your house at your spawn, you can always find it. Also there would be constellations in the sky that arent so useful, but add something fun and new to the game and something to add to endgame.
You would make a journal (not suggesting the journal) that would keep track of the stars you find with the telescope. For the telescope you would have to make certain parts then put them all together to make one where you can find star(s) and put them in your starlog journal type thing :smile.gif:.
Lens
[] [] []
Telescope Tube
[] [] []
[] []
Focuser (to change the focus 2x, 6x, etc. Also optional)
[] []
[] []
[] []
Standard Stand (can not pick up)
[] []
Tripod (can pick up)
Those are all the items necessary for a telescope, and this is how you assemble it:
[] [] []
[] [] = lens = focuser = telescope tube = stand
(in-game the focuser would be on the telescope tube)
That is my suggestion for making stars/telescopes :smile.gif:

Don't know why they should be as expensive as you suggested anyway.
