Image: Fields of view
Description: Simulation of views through various telescope eyepieces. Left image shows image through an eyepiece with a narrow apparent field of view. Centre image shows image through an eyepiece of the same focal length but wider apparent field of view, and how the image is larger and shows a greater area. Right image shows image with the same apparent field of view as the centre image, but shorter focal length giving greater magnification. The result is the same true field of view as the first image but at greater magnification.
