I have a questions about standard measurements of galaxies as it pertains to the following few sentences. In a description of a Hubble ultra deep field view, it is stated that "The HUDF focused on a small region of space in the constellation Fornax and produced an image containing 10,000 distant galaxies in a field of view some 2.4 arcminutes on each side." Is the angular measurement based on the the focal point of the Hubble telescope, comparable to the eyepiece of an amateur telescope?
