While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Hello,
In theory the standard Meade 26mm super-plossl should give a field of
view of 0.54 degrees with a 10-inch f10. Last night I checked it out in
practice and I was getting a f.o.v. well below half a degree (I did not
take the time to do an accurate measurement). However, I did an
accurate measurement of the 32mm and got exactly 0.5 degrees (in theory
it should be 0.67 degrees).

What is your f.o.v. with the 26mm and the 10-inch f10?

Thanks,
Paul Markov
