telescope covering

Telescope covering refers to how much of the sky a telescope can observe at one time, influenced by its design and specifications. It essentially determines the portion of the sky that the telescope can "capture" in a single view. A telescope with a wide field of view can cover larger areas but may not show fine details, while one with a narrow field of view offers detailed images of smaller areas. This concept is crucial for astronomers to select the right telescope for their specific observational goals, whether hunting for distant galaxies or studying closer celestial objects.
