Telescopes use eyepieces to magnify the image of an object that is being viewed. The eyepiece is a small lens that is placed at the end of the telescope barrel. The eyepiece projects an enlarged image of the object into your eye.The eyepiece also serves to correct for errors in the telescope's alignment. If the telescope is not perfectly aligned, then you will see an image that is distorted. The eyepiece helps to correct for these errors and provides a sharper image.
