Hello All,

 

A colleague of mine, Bhavesh Rajpoot,  has helped write a set of tools for simulating telescope setups. It will help you estimate things like resolution power and limiting magnitude for a new potential setup along with many other things. They are looking for people to try it out and give feedback, so if this interests you, you can find the program  and a more detailed description here:

Thanks,
