What is Observed with Telescopes

Broadly, observations with telescopes and astronomy in general can be split into three classes:

Stellar
Nearby stars within our own galaxy.

Galactic
Star clusters, star-forming regions, stellar remnants, planets around other stars.

Extra-galactic/cosmological
Other galaxies, active galaxies, galaxy clusters, the large-scale structure of the universe, the origin and fate of the universe.
