Get a bigger telescope. Resolution is proportional to the size of the telescope. But due to the atmosphere, there is a practical limit beyond which it makes no difference what the telescope size is.
What is meant by the size of a telescope?

Try a 50X or 100X power telescope.
Does an optical telescope and a radio telescope of the same size have the same angular resolution?
no i hate when people just say no

The diameter of the concave mirror.
What are two problems with refracting telescopes?
Images are not always clear because the light is being bent.The size of the lens is limited which limits the power of the telescope.
What limits the size of a refracting a telescope and why?
Mass. A refracting telescope needs to be either really long, or have really thick lenses. In either case, the mass of the telescope limits how large you can make it, if you want to be able to change its direction.

What is a western astronomical telescope worth?
The size of a telescope depends on many factors, but mainly, on its size. For example, a telescope with a diameter (of the main lens or mirror) of 100 mm will cost much less than one with a diameter of 500 mm.
Is there an end to the size of the internet?
No, the internet defies size limits.
What makes the Hubble telescope from the other telescope?
the hubble telescope is a refracting telescope and it is the biggest one because the refracting telescope can only have a certain range of size for the glass lens because it can only hang on the telescope and it is aproximently 5 meters big the lens. hope it helped
