Since there were many bold changes and edits made based on what seems to be opinion, better to discuss them here. The components section is unnecessary and even incorrect, not all telescopes do Imaging via astrophotography or astronomical filters, "Light-gathering" is not a feature of radio telescopes nor are Augmenting lens or filters, space based telescopes do not have "mounts". These are details about the components of optical telescopes and belongs at sub article Optical telescopes.

In general, this is a WP:SUMMARY article so should have basic details on all types, not details, that is what their parent article is for.

Lead image change of a telescope at a tourist stop is not an improvement.

I agree that gravitational wave, cosmic ray, and other particle-based detectors that are being called telescopes by their builders may not belong here with the article def of used to observe distant object's electromagnetic radiation but that may be debatable.

The current lead image is a design unrecognizable to the general public and should certainly be changed to the better known version of a telescope.

This article is extremely short and underdeveloped; it is one tenth of the recommended size limit. Thinking about how the "article so should have basic details on all types, not details, that is what their parent article is for", is no where near a priority at the moment.

Since this is a SUMMARY parent article, it would not be a matter of developing it to a target size, it should simple summarize its child articles. Per WP:SYNC "editors should first add any new material to the appropriate places in the child article, and, if appropriate, summarize the material in the parent article".
