Telescope/Legends

A telescope was a device used to magnify images in much the same way as a pair of macrobinoculars. It was presumably related to the electrotelescope.

A telescope was a type of simple sensor. It examined the energy emitted by other sources.The Star Wars Sourcebook
==History==
In 4 BBY Lando Calrissian longed for an optical telescope as opposed to the electronic magnifier aboard the Millennium Falcon that was not functioning due to the effects of the Flamewind.Lando Calrissian and the Flamewind of Oseon
During his time on Tatooine, Luke Skywalker wished he owned a telescope rather than his macrobinoculars.Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope novelization
While talking with Teneniel Djo, Prince Isolder remarked that if one had a powerful enough telescope, they could see the Fere inhabitants as they once were many years ago before they were wiped out by a plague, by seeing the light reflected off the planet just reaching the eye. However, Isolder then said, that such a telescope did not exist.The Courtship of Princess Leia
Prior to its destruction at the beginning of the Yuuzhan Vong War, the outpost of ExGal-4 on Belkadan used both ground-based and orbiting scopes.The New Jedi Order: Vector Prime
