Although the focus is conceptually a point, physically the focus has a spatial extent, called the blur circle. This non-ideal focusing may be caused by aberrations of the imaging optics. Source Wikipedia
In geometrical optics, a focus, also called an image point, is the point where light rays originating from a point on the object converge. Source Wikipedia
A real image occurs where rays converge, whereas a virtual image occurs where rays only appear to diverge. Source Wikipedia
In ray diagrams ... real rays of light are always represented by full, solid lines; perceived or extrapolated rays of light are represented by dashed lines. Source Wikipedia
A real image ... is an image which is located in the plane of convergence for the light rays that originate from a given object. Source Wikipedia
A converging lens (one that is thicker in the middle than at the edges) or a concave mirror is also capable of producing a virtual image if the object is within the focal length. Such an image will be magnified. Source Wikipedia
A diverging lens (one that is thicker at the edges than the middle) or a convex mirror forms a virtual image. Such an image is reduced in size when compared to the original object. Source Wikipedia
Because the rays never really converge, a virtual image cannot be projected onto a screen. In contrast, a real image can be projected on the screen as it is formed by rays that converge on a real location. Source Wikipedia
In diagrams of optical systems, virtual rays are conventionally represented by dotted lines. Source Wikipedia
a virtual image is found by tracing real rays that emerge from an optical device (lens, mirror, or some combination) backward to perceived or apparent origins of ray divergences. Source Wikipedia
A real image is the collection of focus points actually made by converging rays, while a virtual image is the collection of focus points made by extensions of diverging rays. Source Wikipedia
In optics, an image is defined as the collection of focus points of light rays coming from an object. Source Wikipedia
A telescope's ability to resolve small detail is directly related to the diameter (or aperture) of its objective (the primary lens or mirror that collects and focuses the light), and its light gathering power is related to the area of the objective. Source Wikipedia
There are telescope designs that do not present an inverted image such as the Galilean refractor and the Gregorian reflector. These are referred to as erecting telescopes. Source Wikipedia
Most telescope designs produce an inverted image at the focal plane; these are referred to as inverting telescopes. Source Wikipedia
This image may be recorded or viewed through an eyepiece, which acts like a magnifying glass. The eye then sees an inverted [DISPUTED] magnified virtual image of the object. Source Wikipedia
The basic scheme is that the primary light-gathering element, the objective (the convex lens or concave mirror used to gather the incoming light), focuses that light from the distant object to a focal plane where it forms a real image. Source Wikipedia

An optical telescope is a telescope that gathers and focuses light, mainly from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, to create a magnified image for direct view, or to make a photograph, or to collect data through electronic image sensors. Source Wikipedia
