Wuuldn't that actually confuse them? Every time someone asks me "so
what's the power/magnification of your scope" I go on the usual speech
about power not being that important on telescopes, many object in the
sky are actually bigger than the moon to us, the important thing is
being able to gather light, not magnification, and that "a telescope is
not a microscope" :-)
