What type of image is formed by a reflecting telescope

Astronomical (reflecting) telescopes. In a reflecting telescope, instead of a convex objective lens, a concave mirror is used to collect parallel rays from the object and form an image at the focal point. Then the convex eyepiece lens is used to magnify this image for the viewer.

Hey, im taking a test and did you ever find out the image? I think it is either reduced real image or enlarged real image. But which one?
