Calculating Magnification The power of a telescope is how much it magnifies objects. Each telescope has its own set of focal lengths and, therefore, different magnifications when used with various eyepieces. For example, the LightBridge Mini 130mm used with the 26mm eyepiece magnifies an object 25 times. The 9mm eyepiece used with the LightBridge Mini 130mm will magnify objects 72 times. You can calculate how much magnification an eyepiece will have with your specific telescope. Just divide the telescope focal length by the focal length of the eyepiece. Focal Length of the Telescope Eyepiece's magnification x 2 ÷ Focal LengthMof thI e NEyepI iece5 = Magnification with a 2X Barlow lens = Magnification If you MusI eN aI B5arlow lens with one of your eyepieces, it Look at the specifications. For example, you will see doubles the magnification of your eyepiece. Other types that the focal length of the LightBridge Mini 130mm of Barlows can triple or further increase the power of an is 650mm. Let's say that you have obtained a 6.3mm eyepiece. To find out how much your magnification is when Ieyepiece. You can tell what the focal length of your you use a 2x Barlow, multiply your eyepiece's magnification eyepiece is as it is always printed on the side of the by two. For example, the 9mm low-power eyepiece used eyepiece. Divide: 650mm ÷ 6.3mm, which equals with the LightBridge Mini 130mm magnifies an object 72 103.17. Round this off to the nearest whole number and times. Multiply 72 by 2 and you get 144 times magnification you find the 6.3mm eyepiece used with the LightBridge with a Barlow.
