After removing all the optics, I attached the camera adapter with camera

the
camera's viewfinder but it is hard to judge the magnification, maybe 25x or
30x.

A telescope with a 1,000 mm focal length is the same as a 1,000
mm telephoto lens. That is 20 times more than a normal 50 mm
lens on your Nikon FE. I think Nikon makes the viewfinders
on their SLRs so that with a 50 mm lens the view is 1:1.
