Any telescope can be used at any time. Depending on what you're
looking for, though, you'll most likely realize greater or lesser success
during different parts of the solar day.
For example, the solar coelostat-telescope assembly is relatively useless
during the night, the Schmidt camera at Palomar is quite unproductive in
the day, a bird spotting scope is of limited usefullness at night, and the
Hubble must be closed up during 45 minutes out of every 90.

What telescope can be used day or night or even in bad weather?
refriacting telescope
How did first telescope come about?
Galileo built the first telescope in 350BC. He used it to survey the night sky.
If Galileo used a telescope to investigate the night sky why did his fellow astronomers not use a telescope also?
this is one of my questions for homework
Which scientist was one of the first scientists to successfully used a telescope to observe the night sky?
Galileo
Is a telescope used for weather?
An optical telescope cannot be used during cloudy days. Of course, this assumes that the telescope is located somewhere on the Earth's surface and therefore subject to weather. Since clouds obscure the sky - and any heavenly object otherwise visible - the optical telescope will be unable to see anything. A radio telescope, however, can see through clouds, simply because clouds do not block or cause significant interference to radiowaves reaching the Earth's surface from space.

Can you earth be seen with a telescope at night?
Yes. If you know where to look, you can evensee it without a telescope, day or night.

Why can't a radio telescope be used on a cloudy night?
A radio telescope can be used on a cloudy night, because its signal can move through the clouds and rain mostly unaffected and still gather data.

Are telescopes only used at night?
No. They are generally used to look at stars at night, because that's when it's easiest to see them. But some telescopes are used at sea and there's also a type of telescope called a radio-telescope that searches the stars for radio waves during daylight hours.
Galileo was the first to use what instrument in his line of work?
Galileo did not invent the telescope. The Italian physicist and mathematician improved on an existing spyglass design to create a more powerful one: a refracting telescope that he then used to study the night sky.

Can Neptune be seen at night with a telescope?
no
Can mars be seen with a telescope at night?
Often. In fact, it can often be seen at night without a telescope; it's fairly bright.
Where would a telescope normally be used?
Out doors, at night. The darker the sky (the further away from city lights) the better.
