In order to maximize the resolution in the visible range of a circular aperture such as a telescope, it is best to

1.apply a violet filter and use the telescope with the largest aperture possible.
2.apply a red filter and use the telescope with the largest aperture possible.
3.apply a violet filter and use the telescope with the smallest aperture possible.
4.apply a red filter and use the telescope with the smallest aperture possible.
