Eyepieces

Eyepieces determine the magnification and field of view of a telescope.  Different eyepieces are used to view different objects.  Some objects, such as nebulae and star clusters, appear quite large and are best viewed at low magnifications (which give a wider field of view), whereas planets appear very small and are normally viewed with high-magnification eyepieces.  One of the most common misconceptions in amateur astronomy is that magnification is the most important aspect of a telescope.  In reality, the diameter (aperture) of a telescope determines its power and different eyepieces are used to get the best view of a given object.  Often the best view is at a low magnification.
