The correct answer is: The telescope is light weight.

The astronomical telescope is used to observe district images of heavenly bodies like stars, planets etc. It is two lens system first one is an objective lens which has a large aperture and large focal length because it forms the image of a distant object at its focal length, and the second one is the eyepiece, which behaves as a simple magnifier with which to see the image formed by the objective.

The astronomical telescope is quite heavy and bulky. Aberration is a property of optical systems like  lenses that makes light to be spread out over a region of space rather than focused to a point. This consists of lenses so, it will suffer spherical and chromatic aberration.
