The image formed by the first is the object for the second, and so on. The same ray-tracing and thin-lens techniques developed in the previous sections apply to each lens element. The overall magnification of a multiple-element system is the product of the linear magnifications of its individual elements times the angular magnification of the eyepiece.

It also covers Eclipsing Binary Stars (EBS), where one star's orbit causes periodic eclipses of another, with frequency variations based on the stars' proximity.

Telescopes gather far more light than the eye, allowing dim objects to be observed with greater magnification and better resolution.
