To compute the magnification of an eyepiece divide the telescope focal length by the eyepiece focal length:
Power = Scope Focal Length (mm) / Eyepiece Focal Length (mm) Examples: C-8 with an aperture of 203 mm and focal ratio of 10 = 2030 mm Power with a 20 mm ep = 2030 mm / 20 mm = 101x 8” f/6 newt = 8” * 25.4 mm/inch * 6 = 1220 mm focal length Power with a 20 mm ep = 1220 mm / 20 mm = 61x
