magnifying‚ these are all interdependent and interrelated with each other. The telescope must perform all three functions at once at once for it to work. Light gathering: Light gathering power is a measure of how much light the objective (primary mirror in a reflector‚ lens in a refractor) can collect from distant objects. Nominally‚ it is proportional to the square of the diameter of the aperture. Doubling the aperture results in gathering four times as much light. Resolving: Resolving power
