What eyepieces are in your kit?

I just have a couple, but get 6 different magnifications as the bottom of the barlow can be screwed off.

Celestron 20mm Plossl
Antares 6mm Plossl
Antares 1.5/2x deluxe barlow

Gives me magnifications of 50x, 75x, 100x, 166x, 250x and 333x, FOV from 1 degree to smaller

How do you work out the degree (FOV) you get with any given EP?

I know how to work out the magnification (Thanks Carl for explaining that to me today)

Use this tool here www.csgnetwork.com/telefov.html
Or divide the eyepiece field stop diameter by the telescope's focal length and multiply the result by 57.3

Or divide the eyepiece field stop diameter by the telescope's focal length and multiply the result by 57.3

OK you lost me there. What is the EP field stop diameter? the mm size?......4mm,6mm,20mm,32mm etc?

The 6mm 20mm etc is the eyepiece focal length.
Use that for magnification (telescope focal length/eyepiece focal length)

The field stop is the metal ring inside the eyepiece that limits the field size. The angular diameter of this circle is the apparent field of view and is a fixed property for each eyepiece design, and is usually specified in the eyepiece specs on their websites. So it depends on what type of eyepiece you have. Here are the common ones: Plössls have an AFOV of 50 degrees, Radians have 60, Panoptics 68 and Naglers 82.

And so the True field of view = (eyepiece field stop diameter/telescope focal length) x 57.3

Plössls have an AFOV of 50 degrees

All Plossls? no matter the mm size?

So a 4mm plossl has a 50 degree FOV...................just as a 32mm plossl does?

I must check online for my EP kit again cuz i'm sure i read the FOV of each EP.

Not that it matters to me cuz once i like what i can see i am happy. Its just good to know. I'm not very technical minded when it comes to stargazing.

I just look at things and think "WOW................that is millions/billions of miles away".
