    Hello,

    There was a post from 2021 about the percentage value assigned to tilt.

    Now it is:
    Off-axis:= HFDcenter - HFD outerring.
    Tilt:=HFDworst - HFD best (for the four corners)

    May I ask how this is computed today with triangle and octagon measurement points?

    Also is there a relationship between the quoted tilt and i.e. 'critical focus zone'
    (See: https://www.wilmslowastro.com/software/formulae.htm#CFZ)

    I could think of a 100% limit once the tilt accross the sensor dimension exceed CFZ.

    Thanks & Clear Skies,
    Gert

    Hello Gert,

    For the triangle it is more or less the same. i have added it now to the documentation:

    http://www.hnsky.org/astap.htm#inspector

    I don't think there is a relationship between the quoted tilt and i.e. 'critical focus zone' . But for tilt to become visible, the tilt has to be outside the critical focus zone.

    Hopes this helps, Han
