Refracting Telescopes

Refracting Telescopes use lenses to form an image. The combination of an objective lens and an eyepiece is used to gather more light than the human eye could collect on its own. Then it will focus and present the viewer with a brighter, clearer, and magnified virtual image.

The refracting telescope refracts or bends light. This refraction causes parallel light rays to converge at a focal point; while non parallel light rays unite upon a focal plane. The Galilean telescope and the Keplerian Telescope are examples of different refractor telescope designs.
