Ok so the moon is 1/2 degree even when it looks 4 times its normal size on the horizon. Through the telescope, it will fill up the same amount of space (even though you literally are seeing it 4x bigger unaided) as when its high up and 1/4 of its size?
Why does the moon look larger on the horizon? Is there some natural magnification happening by the atmosphere in that position? Would not the telescope 'magnify' the already magnified image and thus it should be bigger?
Mars at 1 degree means it fills up the eyepiece as 2 moons by naked eye?
That is fairly large and pleasing. I thought it would be like 5mm on a page or something not worth seeing. However if it is that big... that would be pleasing.
How big does Jupiter/Saturn/Neptune/Uranus/Venus end up in degree, and how much would one need to magnify to have each 1 at least the size of 1-2 moons naked eye?
