200mm Dobsonian + 10mm eyepiece

Classic medium-high power setup

A common amateur astronomy combination where magnification, exit pupil, and true field all matter at once.

Result: 240x, 0.83 mm exit pupil, 0.34-degree true field

Wide-field sweep

Short eyepiece without a Barlow

Good for checking whether a low-power setup is wasting light or staying in a comfortable wide-field range.

Result: Lower magnification, larger exit pupil, and a much wider true field
