Enter AFOV and magnification to calculate FOV

Field of View Formula

True Field of View

TFOV = AFOV / M

Where:

  • • TFOV = true field of view (degrees)
  • • AFOV = apparent field of view (degrees)
  • • M = magnification

Typical AFOV Values

  • • Plössl: 50-52°
  • • Wide angle: 60-70°
  • • Ultra-wide: 80-82°
