Description Henry de Valence 2008-12-21 00:50:19 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.3.1 20080507 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 135036] 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

KStars already has a tool for calculating the FOV of an optical telescope, a camera, or a radiotelescope (*everyone* has one of those lying around somewhere, right?) but it doesn't have a tool for calculating the FOV of binoculars, which are far more common than the 3 existing options.
Comment 1 Akarsh Simha 2009-01-16 07:32:15 UTC 
Binocular FOVs are specified as linear FOVs and not angular FOVs. It would be useful to include a tool that will covert it into an angular FOV.

Working on that.

SVN commit 912171 by asimha:

Adding a tool to calcuate the angular FOV of a binocular given the
linear FOV.
