Hi Daryl,
I may have missed it, but what about the age old method of projecting the sun onto a screen through the telescope? It has the advantage that the whole class can see it, and even take pictures. You could also measure the movement of the "sun" and thus calculate the speed of the Earth's rotation. This will get your numeracy component into the lesson.
