Telescope Calculations

From just four pieces of information you can enter below we can calculate, for a given telescope with a particular eyepiece:
  1. Telescope Ratio or f number: This describes the relation between the aperture and focal length of the telescope
  2. Magnification: How many times bigger the object will appear
  3. True Field of View: The area of sky seen through your telescope/eyepiece combination
  4. Exit Pupil: The diameter of the cone of light coming out of the eyepiece


You can find out more about these values and what they mean in the E-course
