They give better resolution (more detail), they can gather more light and improved magnification means that we can see further into the universe.

Why would it be useful for a telescope to work along side a computer?
They help create a clearer and sharper image. Makes it easy to capture pictures to analyse later. Collect and store huge amounts of data, 24/7. Easier for humans
