1.5 inches to 12 inches depending on revised star density values. Because of this to and fro with aperture, Suiter concludes that a rich-field telescope is best defined as one that can be used with an eyepiece yielding the maximum exit pupil that your eye can open to.

because they are point sources - so far away that no practical magnification can reveal their disks. The diffractive nature of light and turbulence in the atmosphere combined with instrument defects do enlarge a star's pinprick of light, but only extreme magnifications make this detectable.

I built my 13.2 inch [34cm] F3 telescope because I wanted to explore F3 telescopes with the potential of building a much larger telescope that would not require a ladder to reach the eyepiece.

Actual FOV from Field Stop deg" is given by the formula: field stop in inches / focal length in inches * 57.3
There are three keys that work in concert:
1. Shorter eyepieces allow faster scopes to maintain 6mm exit pupil.
2. Wider apparent fields of eyepieces allow shorter eyepieces to achieve the same field stop as lo... | 1.473888 | 1,024 | 1,023 |
