How to Use

  • Select a telescope type to see its optical layout
  • Adjust aperture and focal length to match your telescope
  • Drag the focuser slider to see how rays converge at the focal plane
  • Change the eyepiece focal length and AFOV to see magnification effects
  • Enable the focal reducer to see how it shortens the light path
  • Load your saved equipment from the dropdowns to auto-fill parameters
  • Increase tube seeing to simulate thermal currents from an uncooled telescope tube
