Thanks.
I have my own spreadsheet but I didn't know the apparent FOV of the 9mm
illuminated reticle EP to calculate the true FOV. Related to this is the fact
that the field stop aperture is very small, smaller than the 9,7mm Plossl
for instance.

>Acording to my data your scope should yield a mag of 282X
This assumes a focal length of 2540mm which is what you get if you multiply
10" by f/10. However Meade always claims the focal length to be 2500mm. Why
that is I don't know.
