Yes. It takes energy to move them in the correct direction. In home telescopes, this is done by hand (energy from your muscles), in large telescopes they use some kind of motors to do that.

What are 3 types of energy collected by telescopes?
Three types of energy that are collected by telescopes are Light energy, Mechanical energy and Thermal energy.
What telescope does not use visual light energy?
Radio telescopes and infra-red telescopes operate at longer wavelengths/lower frequencies than visible light. Ultraviolet telescopes operate at shorter wavelengths/higher frequencies than visible light.
What and where are the largest optical telescopes in use today?
Ccd's and in large telescopes
What do astronomers use to look at planets?
Their eyes, ground-based telescopes, space telescopes.
Do astronomers use ground-based X-ray telescopes?
No they do not, or use gamma ray telescopes either. Not ground based.

What other kinds of radiation are detected by telescopes?
Researchers use all of these: -- optical telescopes -- radio telescopes -- x-ray telescopes -- infra-red telescopes -- ultraviolet telescopes
Do astronomers or nasa use refracting telescopes?
Yes, both of them. And they also use reflecting telescopes.
What telescope type collects mechanical energy?
Telescopes collect electromagnetic energy, not mechanical energy.
What and where are the largest optical telescopes in use today?
Ccd's and in large telescopes
Why don't we use visible-wavelength telescopes to locate neutron stars?
A neutron star emits most of its energy at higher frequencies.
What are the largest telescopes used for observations in the visible region of the spectrum?
The largest telescopes that use visible light are reflector telescopes.
What tool do astronomers use to study space?
they use space probes,satellites,and of coarse,telescopes.
