Galileo was the first to use the telescope for astronomical observation.
Galileo based his telescopes on ones he saw Dutch sailers on trading ships using. So you have to go back to the Netherlands to find earlier telescope makers/users. It is likely the Dutch may have adapted the idea from someone else before them.

∙ 14y agoHans Lippershey (1570 - September 1619), a German-Dutch lensmaker, is credited with the designs for the first practical working telescope, and though 2 others had working designs around the same time (Jacob Metius & Sacharias Janssen), it was Lippershey that was given the bigger recognition and first employment by the Dutch government to create binocular versions of his device. Lippershey is the one credited with the telescope's invention.
Lippershey's designs also proved to be the ones that Galileo Galilei and other scientists would improve upon, ultimately leading to the telescopes we know today.

Galileo, though, was the first person to use a telescope for astronomical purposes after hearing about Lippershey's work in 1609.

What are the different astronomical instruments?
There are a number of instruments used in the study of astronomy. The telescope is best known, but instruments including satellites, radio waves and simple charts are all used in astronomy.
What is the use of a telescope celestron?
A telescope collects electromagnetic radiation to view objects far away. A telescope is a device used to observe remote objects and used in the study of astronomy. The first telescope was made in the 1600's..
Who used a telescope for the first time?
Galileo used and made the first telescope.
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.
What is a binoscope?
A binoscope is a type of binary telescope or long-distance binoculars, used in amateur astronomy or artillery sighting.
Who was the scientist who first used a telescope to study astronomy?
Galileo.
What year did Galileo galilei introduce the first telescope to astronomy?
Galileo Galilei first used the "new" telescope in 1609

How did Galileo discover?
In astronomy, he used a telescope.
Can you study astronomy with a satellite?
Yes, many satellites are used for a range of astronomical observations the most famous of which would be the Hubble Space Telescope.
What is radio telescope used for?
Radio telescopes are mainly used for astronomy.
What is the use of a telescope celestron?
A telescope collects electromagnetic radiation to view objects far away. A telescope is a device used to observe remote objects and used in the study of astronomy. The first telescope was made in the 1600's..
Why it is called astronomical telescope?
An astronomical telescope is one that is used in astronomy - i.e., to watch stars, planets, comets, etc.
Which scientist used a telescope in astronomy?
Hundreds of them. Who was first? Probably Galileo. We have no record of anyone point his new telescope at the skies before him. Probably SOMEBODY did; the telescope had been invented 5 years or so before Galileo got his first one, but nobody wrote about it.
Different Instruments Used By Scientist In Studying Astronomy?
telescope,spectroscope,spaceprove,viewer
What technology is used to study the moon?
telescope
What is astronomy equipment?
The primary tools used in early astronomy were a compass to measure directions, a sextant (or octant) to measure angles in the sky, a watch and a telescope.
