Thanks for the reply. I first wanted to see if this feature would be accepted by the group. If there would be a lot of rejection for this feature, then I know I don't have to start with it. I already have your vote

I am still in the research phase for this feature, discussing with the person from the observatory how he has this feature in mind.</div>

As soon as I have something more concrete about how I think it can be integrated in kstars, I will share it with the group.</div>

<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">Hi Patrick,
<div class="">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.</div>

Someone from the observatory I visit frequently, informed me that he would like to have some software to help to focus and collimate his telescope using the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF). He is a scientist with quite some knowledge of optics and thought
it would be nice to have this feature available in KStars/Ekos.</div>

As I have developed the Bahtinov Focus Assistant in KStars I offered my help for implementing this feature. Of course I would like to consult this group before I start implementing. Do you agree too that this feature (focus and collimate using MTF) would be
a nice addition to KStars?</div>
