One function of a refracting telescope?

The nominal function of any telescope is to enlarge the image of a distant object and that is the same for reflecting or refracting or hybrid telescopes. That said, it is a better description of a telescope to say it is a light collector that brings into an image (on the eye or photo sensor of the user) the light that is given off by some distant object. The aperture of a telescope is much much larger than the aperture (iris) of the human eye, so whatever object is being viewed is producing light an a much greater quantity of light is entering the telescope than would be entering the eye. More light allows the image being viewed to be enlarged and still visible to the human eye.
