how can i get the magnification of dobsonian telescope i made??
Magnification in a dobsonian telescope is achieved by using different eyepieces, which have varying focal lengths. The eyepiece acts as a magnifying lens, increasing the apparent size of the object being viewed.
The maximum magnification possible with a dobsonian telescope is typically around 50-60 times the aperture size in inches. For example, a 10-inch dobsonian telescope would have a maximum magnification of 500-600x.
Yes, you can change the magnification while using a dobsonian telescope by switching to a different eyepiece with a different focal length. However, it is important to note that increasing the magnification too much can result in a blurry or distorted image.
The magnification can have a significant impact on the image quality in a dobsonian telescope. Higher magnification may result in a darker and more distorted image, as well as reducing the field of view. It is important to find the right balance between magnification and image quality.
Yes, there are other factors that can affect the image in a dobsonian telescope, such as the quality of the optics and the atmospheric conditions. It is also important to properly collimate and maintain the telescope for optimal image quality.
