Knowing the field of view of a CCD camera on a certain telescope is critical when selecting targets for imaging. It is also a useful way of comparing cameras or combinations of cameras and telescopes. Pixel size factors into the resolution obtainable wit
In the Scope Calculator on your website, SkyandTelescope.com, 1 assume the true field of view is for an eyepiece with a standard 1Y4-inch barrel. Gotcha! However, a good 2-inch diagonal is the best choice for these telescopes, since, coupled with 2-inch eyepieces, it will allow the...
TFoV = 180°/π x Field Stop (effective) / Focal length (telescope) makes no assumptions about the distortion of the eyepiece, it just considers the angular size of focal plane that the eyepiece is magnifying which depends on the focal length of the scope and the diameter of the field st...
Here's what you need to know about field of view and angle of view... What is field of view? Field of view is simply the observable area that you can see either through your eyes or an optical device, such as a camera lens or telescope. The official definition according to Wikipedia...
Astronomy Tools Field of View Calculatoris the best tool I know of for visualizing the field of view of any scope and camera combination. If your scope or camera are not already on the list you can create them as custom. Use the images of DSOs and planets to get scale not for what de...

when panning around with a telescope is very much the same with a 20mm Tele Vue Plossl and a 12mm Nagler Type 4, so just in that narrow context of how easily something might be located, I would attach a much greater emphasis on the true field of view than the apparent field of view....
