Focus and collimation using the Modulation Transfer

[Patrick Molenaar]

Hi,

I think the feature can be used by both amateurs as more professional observatories.
I am willing to write down a technical proposal. But I don't know how invent.kde.org works yet.
Do I then need to implement it in a fork of KStars and post it on invent.kde.org, or does it work differently. Please let me know.

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.

Regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

That's quite interesting. Is this applicable to amateur setups as well or
more tailored toward professional observatories?

Hello,

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