Telescopes, were essentially discovered in 1609. Galileo and later Keppler were the first astronomers to use them. They caught on rapidly as observing instruments and for look out purposes., it took the optician's a while to correct the inverted view on some of them, but once done, they took off.

Why were the Galilean moons the first objects to be discovered with a telescope?
The first telescope to be trained at the sky in about 1610 only had an aperture of about 25 mm. Beside Venus, the Moon and Jupiter there wasn't much that COULD be seen. The optical quality couldn't be very great. To see the four brightest (Galilean) moons of Jupiter was really a feat. Even Saturn came in so poorly that the rings were mistaken for jug handles!
