OPTICON Stargaze Telescope

Max theoretical magnificationTheoretical magnification. It depends on the eyepiece used, and eyepieces are interchangeable, which gives the possibility of obtaining different magnifications. It can be calculated by dividing the focal length of the objective lens by the focal length of the eyepiece used. The magnification given is the maximum obtainable in the configuration in which the telescope is supplied; it does not take into account the additional magnification that may be obtained with a Barlow lens or image reverser. It does not take into account the limitations on magnification generated by the Earth's atmosphere and the objects within it.

Focal length [mm]
The distance between the focus of an optical system and the focal point of the optical system. It affects the magnification given by the optical system and the lens speed.

The ratio of the focal length of an optical instrument to its diameter. It is a constant that determines the amount of light reaching the focal point of the main lens or mirror. In practice, the smaller the value of f, the better and more accurate the image we get.

This is the smallest angular distance between two point objects at which they are still visible as two separate objects. Expressed in seconds of arc.

Telescopes can be supplied with an eyepiece focuser in two standards - 0.98" and 1.25". This information is important to determine the compatibility of the equipment with additional eyepieces, photographic adapters, etc.

Moon and its craters, Mars, Venus, Jupiter with its moons, constellationsDue to its characteristics, this telescope is best suited for detailed observations of the Moon's surface, observations of the closer planets and Jupiter with its moons, as well as any low-contrast space objects with a visual background.

Attached glasses
Eyepieces included. They affect the magnification obtained with the telescope. To get the magnification available with a given configuration, divide the focal length value by the diameter of the eyepiece. So, for a telescope with a focal length of 900 mm and an eyepiece diameter of 20 mm, you will get a base magnification value of 45 x, while using a 6 mm eyepiece in the same telescope - 150 x.
