Talk to the guard about everything, then go back inside and head up to the balcony. Use your crowbar on the hoses.
Go out to the balcony and up to the astrolab. Use your crowbar on the telescope and you will automatically get a shard of glass. Use this on the astronomer to free him, then pick up the rope. Use the rope on the funnel to get it covered in oil. Combine the rope with the bombs. Take the funnel, then head back up to the telescope. Put the bombs into the telescope. Add the funnel and then Spot's cocoon. Finally, use your glass shard on the beam of light coming in through the window.
