Resolution

Description
The larger the diameter of a telescope’s primary mirror, the finer the detail the telescope
can resolve. These two images of the Andromeda Galaxy, taken through telescopes with different diameters, show this
effect. Increasing the exposure time of the smaller diameter telescope (a), will only brighten the image, not improve the
resolution
