## Light Gathering Power

**LGP = (D_telescope / D_eye)²**

Light collection scales with the area of the aperture. A 200 mm scope collects (200/7)² ≈ 816 times more light than the dark-adapted eye (7 mm pupil).

This is why larger telescopes see fainter objects.

计算示例

A 200 mm telescope vs 7 mm pupil.

  1. LGP = (200/7)² = 28.57² = 816×
  2. The scope gathers 816 times as much light.
  3. Area = π × (200/20)² = π × 100 = 314 cm²
