Galileo.
Hans Lipperhey, a German spectacle maker, is the original inventor for the telescope.
Galileo is often credited with being the first person to look through a telescope and make drawings of the celestial objects he observed. While the Italian indeed was a pioneer in this realm, he was not the first. That honor belongs to Thomas Harriot, an Englishman, who bought his first telescope shortly after its invention in the Netherlands and made a sketch of the moon as seen through it in July of 1609. Also a map of the Moon, ten times older than any other known, has been found carved into stone at one of Ireland's most ancient and mysterious Neolithic sites.

Galileo Gailei is the first person credited with using the telescope for astronomical observations. He did not invent the telescope. He is the first to have seen moons going around Jupiter, the rings of Saturn (though he incorrectly identified them), and that the Moon had cliffs and craters.

Nicolus Copernicus
The first astronomer to study the planet Jupiter with a telescope was none other than Galileo.
Copernicus was a polish astronomer that first formed the theory that the Earth was at the center of the universe.
The first telescope didn't look exactly like the ones that we see today, but it was improved though by the famous astronomer Galileo. The first one is said to have been made about 500 years ago.
