Programs mostly related to Telescope Making. Applications offered include:
DIAGONAL: program, and code to analyze diagonal sizes, giving off-axis illumination profile and other data
RONCHI: program, and code to figure newtonian mirrors with a Ronchi grating
CONVERT: program, and code to convert between coordinate systems using the 2-star alignment method; runs in real-time
ATIME: program, and code to convert between astronomical times
PRECESS: program, and code to precess coordinates (converting between coordinate years)
32: program, and code to run the 32" equatorial telescope at Pine Mountain Observatory
foldref: program to calculate eyepiece height of folded reflectors
BAFFLE.BAS: BASIC program to calculate the dimensions of a baffle ring just below the focuser (this helps greatly in rejecting unwanted light from the focal plane)
