- Page 12 Aperture 102mm Eyepiece Focal Length 20mm Telescope Focal Length Magnification: 1000mm The magnification corresponds to the difference between observation with the naked eye and observation through a magnifying device like a telescope. If a telescope configuration has a magnification of 30x, then an object viewed through the telescope will appear 30 times larger than it would with the naked eye.
