How this calculator works
Compute telescope field of view and pixel scale for imaging. Planning estimates only — verify measurements independently. FOV arcmin = 3438 × sensor width ÷ focal length. Example: 600 mm scope, 23 mm sensor → ~2.3° FOV (estimate).
FOV arcmin = 3438 × sensor width ÷ focal length.
Example: 600 mm scope, 23 mm sensor → ~2.3° FOV (estimate).
When to use this Astrophotography Telescope FOV
Common use cases
- Compute telescope field of view and pixel scale for imaging.
- Sanity-check with this case: 600 mm scope, 23 mm sensor → ~2.3° FOV (estimate).
- The relationship is: FOV arcmin = 3438 × sensor width ÷ focal length.
Localized examples
- Event Planning & Niche Hobbies: the example on this page uses the same formula as the widget.
What you get
- Fields: Focal length (mm), Sensor width (mm), Pixel size (µm)
- FOV arcmin = 3438 × sensor width ÷ focal length.
- Example on the page: 600 mm scope, 23 mm sensor → ~2.3° FOV (estimate).
How to Calculate Astrophotography Telescope FOV Step-by-Step
- 1Enter Focal length (mm), Sensor width (mm), Pixel size (µm). Use the values you have, not a catalog average, unless that is all you know.
- 2FOV arcmin = 3438 × sensor width ÷ focal length.
- 3Worked case: 600 mm scope, 23 mm sensor → ~2.3° FOV (estimate).
- 4Order a little extra. Resin, fabric, and clay do not read a spreadsheet.
Governing formula
FOV arcmin = 3438 × sensor width ÷ focal length.
600 mm scope, 23 mm sensor → ~2.3° FOV (estimate).
Example: set Focal length (mm) = 600, Sensor width (mm) = 23, Pixel size (µm) = 4, then read the result.
