A light-gathering device for concentrating light. The light-gathering device may be used as a stand-alone telescope or as an attachment to a standard telescope. When used as an attachment to a standard telescope, the light-gathering device increases the effective aperture size of the telescope. The light-gathering device is comprised of two conical sections with highly polished mirrored surfaces. The larger of the two conical sections is orientated such that the large end faces toward the object to be viewed. Light enters the area between the two conical sections and is condensed within the sections until it exits from the device in a more concentrated form.
