Some scholars assume that the two expressions are essentially equivalent in meaning, but others believe that διέβλεψεν is to be understood as ‘to look intently’ or ‘to focus one’s eyes upon.’

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
τηλαυγῶς, a NT Gr. εἰρ. (Mk 8535. N° ABDW: δηλαυγῶς N*C), “clearly though at a distance,” ‘‘clearly from afar.” The force of the word is well brought out in a magical formula, P Oxy VI. 886 (iii/A.D.), which, after various directions for obtaining an omen, ends * χρημαθισθήσῃ (/. χρηματισθήσῃ) τηλαυγῶς, ‘you will obtain an illuminating answer” (Edd.). See also sv. δηλαυγῶς. For adj. τηλαυγής cf. Bacchyl. XVI. 5, also Vett. Val. p. 548 τοῦτον τὸν τόπον ot παλαιοὶ μυστικῶς καὶ σκοτεινῶς διέγραψαν, ἡμεῖς δὲ τηλαυγέστερον. According to Moulton G7. ii. p. 283 the meaning is ‘‘farshining” or ‘‘ far-discerned,” ‘‘ according as αὐγή or αὐγάζω is to guide our interpretation of the second part.
