Hello everyone:

I was wondering: is it true that an image in a small telescope looks large and the same image in a large telescope looks small?

I thought that the magnification was determined by dividing the focal length of the objective by the focal length of the eyepiece. Also by dividing the apparent field of the eyepiece by the true field of the objective.

And isn't if that one item (magnification) that will determine how large the item will look in the eyepiece.

Thank you in advance for responding to this.
