Can anyone tell me the AFOV of the 36mm Celestron Silvertop as shown in the picture.

Thanks,

Dave.

Not sure of the exact number, Dave, but it should be right around 45 degrees.

As on pushes beyond 32mm focal length in the 1.25-inch format, the maximum apparent field is limited by the format itself. I believe the discontinued 42mm Celestron Ultima, for example, had a 36- or 38-degree apparent field.

Best wishes.
