Telescope Eyepiece Calculator
Magnification & TFOV
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Telescope Eyepiece Calculator is a professional, 100% offline tool for astronomers and serious stargazers. Enter your telescope aperture and focal length, pick an eyepiece (Plössl, Wide, UWA, Hyper, or custom), and instantly see magnification, exit pupil, true field of view (TFOV), and f-ratio: all with a clean, night-friendly design.
Why it’s useful
• Choose the right eyepiece faster: live results as you type.
• Avoid weak or mushy views: color badges warn about over/under magnification and tiny exit pupils.
• Plan smarter sessions: see TFOV, power category (Low/Medium/High), and the effect of Barlow/Reducer multipliers.

Ratings & Reviews
I have been working hard to make this the ultimate tool for astronomers. Version 1.2 is a massive update, and I'm excited to share these new features with you:
Apple Watch Companion App
I've built a brand new Apple Watch app from scratch! Now you can check your magnification, exit pupil, and true field of view right from your wrist while you're at the telescope. No need to unlock your phone in the dark.
Visual Target Simulator
I added a new "Simulator" view that shows you exactly how big objects like the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and the Orion Nebula will look in your eyepiece. Compare "True Field of View" against famous targets to know if they'll fit!
Eyepiece Comparison Tool
I created a powerful new "Compare" tab.
- Side-by-Side: See two eyepieces next to each other to compare stats.
- FOV Overlay: Visualize the difference in field of view directly.
Professional PDF Reports
I completely overhauled the "Export Setup Card". It now generates a beautiful, print-ready PDF report (A4/Letter) with all your equipment details, visual metrics, and advanced deep-sky performance stats. Perfect for your logbook or sharing with friends.
24 Languages Support
I have localized the app into 24 different languages, ensuring that astronomers around the world can use the tool in their native tongue.
Improvements & Fixes
- Pro Metrics: Added "Limiting Magnitude" and "Resolution" calculations to the main view.
- Interaction: Improved the "Equipment Cases" list, just tap to apply a whole setup instantly.
- Refinement: Polished the UI and fixed several bugs for a smoother experience.
Thank you for using Telescope Eyepiece Calculator! If you enjoy this update, please consider leaving a review, it really helps me out.
