Nature of image formed by an astronomical telescope
Inverted and real
Magnification of astronomical telescope when image is formed at D
M = -fo/fe ( 1 + fe/D)
L= fo + Ue
Magnification of astronomical telescope when image is formed at infinity
M = -fo/fe
L = fo + fe
Terrestrial telescope ?
It has Conves lex of focal length f between objective and eyepiece and is placed in such a way that it’s distance is 2f from the objective lens
Nature of image formed by a terrestrial telescope

Magnification of a terrestrial telescope when image is formed at D
M = fo/fe(1+fe/D)
L= fo + Ue + 4f
Magnification of a terrestrial telescope when image is formed at Infinity
M = fo/fe
L = fo + fe + 4f
Galilean Telescope
In this telescope the objective is a convex lens
While the eyepiece is a concave lens
