Kepler never had a telescope.
All of his breakthrough accomplishments that totally revolutionized human understanding of the observable universe were accomplished with brain, pen, paper, and the notebooks of Tycho Brahe ... who likewise never had a telescope.
Johannes Kepler did not invent the telescope. The Invention of the telescope is credited to three people Hans Lippershey, and Jacob Metius. The first records appear in 1608, more than 60 years before Kepler was born. The Kepler telescope was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies and launched by NASA in 2009. This telescope was not invented by Johannes Kepler but was merely named in his honor.

"Kepler" is actually an observatory, rather than a telescope. It does, however, operate in space. "Hubble" is a telescope, in the true sense of the word and, again, it operates in space.
There is a bit of confusion here. Kepler is not the name of a planet but of a space telescope used to discover planets in other solar systems. Planets discovered with this telescope are given designations such as Kepler-22b. This telescope has been used to discovered hundreds of planets.
NASA's space telescope "kepler"
Neither Johannes Kepler nor the Kepler Space Telescope discovered Pluto. Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, long after Johannes Kepler died and long before the Kepler telescope was created. The Kepler telescope was built to discover planets in other solar systems, not our own.

There is no Planet Kepler. The Kepler telescope was built to find planets in other solar systems. Planets it finds are given designations such as Kepler-62e. The telescope has found hundreds of planets with a wide range of characteristics.

Johannes Kepler did not invent the telescope. The first telescopes were developed in the Netherlands and are credited to three individuals: Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen, who were spectacle makers in Middelburg, and Jacob Metius of Alkmaar. Galileo developed improvements on those early refracting telescope designs and Kepler developed improvements on Galileo's design.
It is named after the German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571-1630).
No, Tycho Brahe did, but Kepler just improved it and made it popular
