Every combination of telescope and eyepiece produces its own Field of View (FOV), usually stated in angular terms. For example, a combination that gives an angular FOV of 10o in diameter will easily let you see the entire full moon, which is only 0.5o in diameter.
We look through a telescope and see a small are of sky and this is the field of view we refer to in astronomy. It’s usually abbreviated to FOV. An eyepiece will let us see more of less of the sky. A wide FOV lets us see more. This is useful if we want to look at a particular constellation.
The Field of View (FOV) and Magnification of a Telescope is determined by the focal length of the telescope and the focal length and apparent field of view of the eyepiece.
The JWST field of view (FOV) is reviewed in this article. An example script to retrieve precise aperture vertices locations is also provided.

Basically all telescopes are of two types: reflecting or refracting. The reflecting telescopes, or reflectors for short, gather and focus the light by means of a concave mirror. The refracting telescopes, or refractors, accomplish the same by means of convex lenses.
5 lut 2018 · Is the telescope’s roof open / close during the night? How do we know what is being observed by the telescopes?
20 wrz 2023 · The field of view (FOV) in a telescope defines the extent of the observable universe that is visible through the eyepiece at any given moment. Knowing the FOV allows astronomers to determine the ideal eyepiece for a specific observation.
