This MCP server provides precise astronomical calculations for telescope configurations. Use calculate_system_performance to determine focal ratio, magnification, true field of view, exit pupil, Dawes' limit, and limiting magnitude. You can also use analyze_viewing_comfort to check if the exit pupil is optimal for an observer's age, or compare_resolving_power to see if magnification exceeds the diffraction limit.

3 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_system_performance

Provides a complete overview of the telescope's optical characteristics and visual utility

compare_resolving_power

Compares the current setup's magnification against the physical diffraction limits of the hardware

analyze_viewing_comfort

Evaluates how well the telescope's output matches the physiological capabilities of the observer

Calculate the performance for a 100mm aperture telescope with a 1000mm focal length using a 25mm eyepiece for a 30-year-old observer.

The telescope has a focal ratio of f/10, magnification of 40x, a true field of view of 1.3 degrees, and an exit pupil of 2.5mm. The Dawes' limit is 1.16 arcseconds and the limiting magnitude is 12.1.

Is a 2mm exit pupil comfortable for a 65-year-old observer?

The viewing comfort is low. For a 65-year-old, a larger exit pupil is recommended to account for reduced pupil dilation.

Check if 300x magnification is useful for a 150mm aperture telescope.

The magnification is within the useful range and does not exceed the diffraction limit for a 150mm aperture.

You can use the `calculate_system_performance` tool by providing the telescope's focal length and the eyepiece's focal length.
