Refracting telescopes

A refracting telescope uses lenses to gather and focus light from distant objects, making them appear larger and clearer. The primary lens, called the objective, collects light and bends it to a focal point. A second lens, the eyepiece, then magnifies the focused image for the viewer. These telescopes are known for their crisp, high-contrast images and are often used in astronomy and observation. Their design is straightforward, with no moving mirrors, making them reliable and relatively easy to maintain. Refracting telescopes are ideal for viewing planets, the moon, and other celestial objects.
