with optical coatings and high quality, mass-produced optics helping to eke out every
little bit of capability from these pocket-sized instruments. While still
aperture-limited — a smaller aperture makes less light received, which makes faint
objects harder to see and details harder to resolve — a good small telescope can excel
at the things it can do. This include showing fabulous views of the whole moon,
