Focus and collimation using the Modulation Transfer Function

[Wolfgang Reissenberger]

Hi Patrick,
Sounds very reasonable, why not. Maybe you publish here a short sketch how you plan to integrate it. I would expect integrating the pure function is not that complicated, but integrating it nicely into the existing workflows, events, state machines etc is the main point.

Cheers
Wolfgang

He is a scientist with quite some knowledge of optics and thought it would be nice to have this feature available in KStars/Ekos.
