Calculating power of eyepieces?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Carol, divide the focal length of your telescope by the focal length of your eyepiece...

For example, a 2000mm f/l telescope and a 40mm eyepiece would give you 50x magnification... (2000/40=50)

Ivan, nice shot, definitely my favorite GC!
I had a chance to see it several times while down at the WSP here in S.Florida, and it does not matter how many times you see it, it is always a Breathtaker... 8)

I played a lil' bit with it in Photoshop (hope you won't mind)... wink

Of course, Good Seeing plays a BIG factor in Planetary Imaging, besides Good Focusing...

How many frames are you stacking? what camera/webcam are you using to image? and to stack/process?


Clear skies!
