Telescope equations

[Hans Sassenburg]

I started listing my different telescopes, eyepieces and cameras, and wanted to create some guidance which combinations make sense. This ended up with a spreadsheet, summarising equations  for combinations of telescope/eyepiece and telescope/camera. Also added data for Messier, planetary nebulae, Herschel 400 and Caldwell objects.

See attachment. Any feedback welcomed!

Best,

Hans

Hello Hans and welcome to the site. Any chance you could do a screen shot of your spreadsheet as the phone doesn’t want to open it. All the best

Hi, thanks!

Quite a lot of worksheets (9), added some screenshots.

Best,

Hans

Hi to those who are interested,

Based on feedback received, I compiled a newer version, as attached. Still work in progress, but slowly stabilising ...

Thanks!

Hello Hans, I've found that the input colour is white on yellow and is difficult to see, is this because I am viewing it in "sheets" as opposed to excel?

Yes, in Excel it looks good ...
