9.4 Astronomical telescope (Refracting type)
It consists of two converging lens. The one facing the object is known as objective or field lens and has large focal length and aperture while the other facing the eye is known as eye-piece or ocular has small focal length and aperture.

When the final image is formed at infinity (normal adjustment), $$M = \frac{{{f_o}}}{{{f_e}}}$$
Length of tube, $L = {f_o} + {f_e}$

When the final image is formed at least distance of distinct vision, $$M = \frac{{{f_o}}}{{{f_e}}}\left( {1 + \frac{{{f_e}}}{D}} \right)$$
Length of tube, $L = {f_o} + \frac{{{f_e}\,D}}{{{f_e} + D}}$
