- Page 5 magnification of 30x, then an object viewed through the telescope will appear 30 times larger than it would with the naked eye. To calculate the magnification of your telescope setup, divide the focal length of the telescope tube by the focal length of the eyepiece. NOTE: The magnifying power of a telescope is determined by dividing the focal length of the telescope by the focal length of the eyepiece.
- Page 6 It is important to remember that the rotation of the Earth means objects will move out of your eyepiece fairly quickly. For a closer look at an object, you can insert the K6 mm eyepiece. The magnification will increase from 20x to 67x. Cleaning: Your telescope is a precision optical device and keeping the optics free of dust and dirt is crucial for optimal performance.
