Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to have asked my question clearly.

I understand the formula - what I don't get is the use of the word apparent.

"apparent field of view is the eyepiece stated spec of 100deg".

I realise the field of view can't possibly be 100 Degrees, so where does the "apparent" come into it?

For instance, your example shows a true field of view to be 2 degrees in that particular scope, why then is that eyepiece "apparently" 100 degrees?

Hope I've explained myself better

Regards

Herb
