    "data": {
        "note": "Exit pupil = aperture ÷ magnification — the width of the beam of light leaving the eyepiece. Match it to the job: a big 4–7 mm exit pupil gives a bright, wide view for nebulae and the Milky Way (but beyond ~7 mm, more than a dark-adapted eye, light is wasted), while a small ~0.5–2 mm exit pupil at high power suits the Moon, planets and double stars. The exit pupil also sets the image brightness per unit area.",
