How Do You Calculate The Field Of View Of The Sky-Watcher SK1206AZ3 Short Tube Refractor Telescope?
Telescopes have varied eyepieces. A Sky-Watcher SK1206AZ3 Short Tube Refractor Telescope may incorporate different types of eyepieces. The eyepiece is a critical component of a telescope as it determines the telescopes field of view. In simple terms, the size of the view (from the eyepiece) is known as the true field of view. Measured in degrees and/or arc minutes, the true field of view can be calculated using the telescope’s apparent field of view and its magnification. Here’s how. Check the Sky-Watcher SK1206AZ3 Short Tube Refractor Telescope’s documentation and specifications sheet to figure out the eyepiece’s apparent field of view. If not listed, call Sky-Watcher’s customer service (or the eyepiece’s manufacturer) for this information (see Resources). Calculate the magnification of the telescope by dividing the focal length of the telescope by the focal length of the eyepiece. This information should be available in the specifications sheet. If not, call the manufacturer. Calcula
