• Myth #1: A 7-mm exit pupil gives the lowest useful magnification. (televue.com)
  • But the magnification is so low that the wasted aperture is of little concern: both image brightness and resolution are as great as possible at that magnification. (televue.com)
  • But the secondary obstruction found on most reflectors does set limits, because the shadow spot it forms in the exit pupil grows as the magnification is reduced. (televue.com)
  • Myth #5: The highest useful magnification is 50x per inch of aperture. (televue.com)
  • The diameter of the exit pupil equals the aperture divided by the magnification. (astronomy.com)
  • Your telescope's aperture is the main factor in what decides how much magnification you can use. (optcorp.com)
  • So, for example, if you have a telescope with an aperture of 200mm (8"), your Maximum Useful Magnification is 400x. (optcorp.com)
  • If you aren't familiar with the concept of exit pupil, it's figured by taking the aperture and dividing by the magnification, and is used as a standard of image brightness. (cloudynights.com)
  • For example, in a 4" (102mm telescope) a magnification of 50x will yield a 2mm exit pupil. (cloudynights.com)
  • Compared to a telescope of the same aperture and magnification, a pair of binoculars enables you to detect stars up to 40 per cent fainter, and possibly more for extended sources such as nebulae. (astronomynow.com)

  • Because binoculars truly are a twin set of refracting telescopes, the size of the objective (or primary) lens is referred to as the aperture. (binoculars.com)
  • When a photograph is taken with bright light, the aperture is reduced so that less light from the object enters the camera and falls on the film, if the setting is darker, the aperture is opened wider to allow more light from the object to fall on the camera lens so that a clear image of the object is possible.

  • One of the first things I disliked about my EOS-5 was that the finger control dial was the aperture in aperture-priority mode but then became the shutter speed in manual mode. (greenspun.com)
  • The EOS-1n lets you choose how you want to use the two control wheels and two shift switches to change aperture, shutter speed, and AF sensor selection. (greenspun.com)
