Telescope equations

#1

Post by hsassenburg »

I started listing my different telescopes, eyepieces and cameras, and wanted to create some guidance which combinations make sense. This ended up with a spreadsheet, summarising equations for combinations of telescope/eyepiece and telescope/camera. Also added data for Messier, planetary nebulae, Herschel 400 and Caldwell objects.

See attachment. Any feedback welcomed!

Best,

Hans
