One of the largest reflecting telescope of the world is kept at Mount Palomar in California. The aperture of its objective mirror is ~ 5 m. It is used to study distant stars and planets. The image formed in it is brighter than that formed by a refracting telescope. The paraboloidal mirror makes the final image free from chromatic aberration.
