I think the feature can be used by both amateurs as more professional observatories.</div>

I am willing to write down a technical proposal. But I don't know how <font size="2">

<div style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Do I then need to implement it in a fork of KStars and post it on <font size="2">
<span style="font-size:11pt"><a href="http://invent.kde.org" target="_blank">invent.kde.org</a></span></font>, or does it work differently. Please let me know.</div>

I don't know how fast I can write the proposal (can take several weeks, maybe even some months), as it is something I do besides my full-time job. I don't have all the details about how it can be used for collimation or focus yet. I still need to discuss that
with the guy from the observatory who I see only once or twice a month. But I will get there eventually.<br>

Hi Patrick,<br>
<br>
That's quite interesting. Is this applicable to amateur setups as well or<br>
more tailored toward professional observatories?<br>
<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
Yes my proposal was that technical proposals be written at<br>
<a href="http://invent.kde.org" target="_blank">invent.kde.org</a>, where we could get feedback on how many people would<br>
be interested, and discuss content.<br>
The feature proposed by Patrick about modulation transfer function<br>
support for collimation. It seems a good idea to write it down there<br>
and discuss architecture and implementation points.<br>
