A number used to compare the effectiveness of binoculars or spotting
scopes used in low light. The twilight factor is found by multiplying
the size of the objective lens (in mm) by the magnification and then
finding the square root of that result. The larger the twilight factor,
the more detail you can see in low light. A twilight factor of 17 or
better if usually required for reasonable low light use.
