Abstract
The maximum achievable resolution, for a given distance to the object and wavelength, of an optical system is determined by the physical aperture of its entrance pupil. Therefore, a telescope intended to observe distant targets with high detail needs a large aperture. In addition, a long focal length allows larger demagnification of the object.Keywords
