A telescope is more powerful if its primary lens or mirror is larger, thus making it able to collect more light (or other radiation) from the field being viewed.

Several factors contribute to the power of a telescope. The size of the objective or primary mirror is a crucial factor, as a larger diameter allows the telescope to capture more light. The quality of the optics and the level of precision in their construction also affect the power of a telescope. Additionally, the type and quality of the eyepiece used can further enhance the power by magnifying the image.

How any stars are a part of the constellation?

Each constellation has billions, trillions, or more, stars, depending how powerful the telescope is that you use to observe. Remember that a constellation is basically a direction in the sky - so the farther you look, the more stars there will be.Each constellation has billions, trillions, or more, stars, depending how powerful the telescope is that you use to observe.
