To calculate the actual field of view, divide the apparent field of the eyepiece (supplied by the eyepiece manufacturer) by the magnification. In equation format, the formula looks like this: Apparent Field of Eyepiece (in degrees) True Field (in degrees) = Magnification Using the example we started with in the previous section, we

Faster films are more desirable when the Moon is a crescent. When the Moon is full, and at its brightest, slower
