Hi Martin, thank you for the awesome tips !.. I have one question though, as I get little lost when you talk about change of calculation for scopes with reducers. And for a lens, should one take in consideration the true focal lens as given for a 36x24 full frame format, disregarding of the camera used, or should we take in consideration the camera (and thus lens) crop factor in our calculus, whereas for example, a 400mm would become a 600mm on a Nikon APS-C (crop 1.5) ?
I would think that since the sensor width/height is part of the formula, the lens should always be considered as size given for a full frame format. Thank you for any insight though...

[@martinsastrophotography]

Hi Alan. For a digital camera with lens, just use the actual focal length of the lens and the actual size of the sensor.

Martin thank you so much an excellent video. Any chance of releasing the software you wrote. How could we find out of it's availability?

[@martinsastrophotography]

Thank you George. I am currently working on that. Please be patient…I hope to release a video about this within a few months.

[@georgecambanis8014]

Thank you so much Martin. I will keep an eye.

Great tool you wrote !! is there any chance you may release for purchase ?

[@martinsastrophotography]

Thanks. Possibly, yes. The main problem is the images I use. I would need permission to use the ones not taken by me in a commercial product. This is a tricky issue. I am working on this.
