length is the number printed on the eyepiece. (For

÷
5 = 100X)
3.
Where do I find the Telescope Focal Length

The telescope focal length is the same focal
length as the objective focal length. For this
telescope it is 500mm. Telescope focal lengths
range from 500mm to 1200mm on Bausch & Lomb
and Bushnell telescopes.
