The original subtended angle is the subtended angle of the unaided eye – the angle between the center of the objective lens and the height of the real image.
In order to find the magnifying power of the lens, you just divide the angle subtended by the virtual image by the angle subtended by your unaided eye.
We have the magnification equation, expressed in terms of subtended angles, but we can still use the equations in terms of distance and height for both objects and images.
And the newly subtended angle is the amount that the object subtends when viewed through the eyepiece – the angle between your eye and the rays from the eyepiece.
For example, if you’re looking up at the moon, and you cover it with your thumb, then your thumb and the moon are both subtending the same angle to your eye, which we measure in degrees.
