DSLR field of view software?

[michaelmorris]

A few weeks ago I remember seeing something on an astronomy forum about a piece of software for astrophotography using a DSLR. My recollection was it gave you that gave you views of what different objects would look like through different camera/lens/telescope combinations. – a bit like CCDcalc. I can’t for the life of me remember where I saw it.

Any ideas?

That's what CCDcalc does - you just put in the sensor parameters for your DSLR (some are preloaded) and it gives you a picture of an object with the fov marked over it. I don't know of another one, unless it is really new?

Hi, Is this what you are looking for?

Nifty piece of software.

So many of these things seem to... randomly disappear. Reducer formulae, Barlow Calculations, Nyquist (or not). No bad thing to have a collaborative project in SGL to write (maintain) web utilities for these various tasks. Too old now (LOL), but some of you "young turks" of programming. <hint>

That is excellent. Thanks for asking the question Michael.

You can also put the sensor details in the Stellaruim Oculars Plug-In.

Lets you see the FOV for the camera , CCD , Webcam with all your scopes at the click of a button ( once you've put the OTA details in too )

Also takes EP details.

Ah! I missed that one first time around!
