Scope Companion is software for computing performance parameters of optical equipment for astronomy,
primarily designed for telescope novices and first-time buyers of optical systems.
Upon input of basic specifications, such as aperture and focal length, Scope Companion calculates the ideal performance of the optics and plots a performance graph. Performance data can also be calculated for binoculars.
The imaging section calculates the field of view with a given CCD camera and lens/scope configuration. The data can be visually confirmed by means of a simulation against the surface of the moon.
Additional helper functions include a star transit counter for measuring the field of view of an eyepiece, a dew point estimator, a compass, polar finder circle and an image orientation simulator.
The author welcomes friendly feedbacks in particular regarding screen layout.
