Quickly and painlessly calculate operational parameters of any telescope and eyepiece combination.
Useful for:- comparing telescopes and eyepieces- finding right set of eyepieces for your needs- checking parameters of specific scope-eyepiece combination- people new to astronomy - to get the hang of the relations between various parameters
Telescope Calc will calculate:- resolving power of the telescope- star magnitude limit- diameter of exit pupil- magnification- field of view- surface brightness- field of view transit time- power per inch of aperture
Features:- easiest to use telescope calculator out there- immediate results- allows to set the size of your eye pupil and takes it into account during related calculations- 4 predefined formulas for finding minimum, maximum, optimum and wide-field magnifications- can save your configurations for later- optimized for tablets and phones
