Title: Feature request: virtual Bahtinov mask for focusing
Post by: skoop on January 01, 2012, 10:29:10 am

Can you please add Bahtinov mask functionality for focusing.
Working "prototype" is available at Niels Noordhoek’s weblog http://www.njnoordhoek.com/?p=660
For additional improvements, please see http://www.btinternet.com/~gfcarey/bahtinov3.htm

Please ad similar functionality to ATIK software.

This would be a "nice to have" feature.  A blind plate solver would be nicer... for re-alignment on multiple night imaging of the same target.

I am  sure your telescope mount can accepts coordinates so you can locate a correct patch of sky. Lets keep every new feature request in a separate thread.

Thank you.

BTW, when your image is out of focus, right patch of sky will be useless.
