What is the magnifaction...

[spurius]

of the hubble space telescope? Namely the mag used for the deep field images. Whats its aperture?

Also what was that bright thing near the moon the other day? One woman told me it was sunlight reflection from a spacecraft heading there but I cant find any info on new lunar missions.

I assume "The bright thing" was Venus as for the Hubble question a Google search should help you ...Pete

Like the imaging rigs on earth the Hubble will simply create an image on the sensor that has a size dependant on the focal length of the mirror. Magnification is a visual parameter.

So not a magnification just a physical size.

Implying that anything that can be google searched isnt worthy of asking about on a web forum. If a google search could have helped me, it therefore could have helped you answer my question instead of replying with that rude statement.

The Wiki page will give you a breakdown of the spec of Hubble. An impressive FL of 57.6 m...and if you are interested you can buy it from FLO
