Visual setup
Aperture + focal length + eyepiece focal length can produce magnification and exit pupil.
Private equipment profiles
My Gear Locker
Save the equipment combinations you actually use, then keep the important optical and imaging numbers attached to the setup. Profiles stay in this browser and can travel with Backup My StarStation.
Why profiles instead of a product database?
StarStation does not need to pretend it has every telescope and camera ever made. Your own verified specifications are more useful for calculators than an incomplete product catalog. Enter only the fields that matter to the setup.
Create or edit a profile
Save the rig once.
A profile can be as simple as one telescope and eyepiece or as complete as an imaging rig with a camera and field battery.

What StarStation calculates from a profile
The useful numbers follow the setup.
When the required fields are present, StarStation calculates telescope focal ratio, eyepiece magnification, exit pupil, approximate true field, camera image scale, and sensor field of view. Missing inputs stay missing instead of being guessed.
Eyepiece field
Apparent field divided by magnification gives a useful first-order estimate of true field.
Imaging scale
Pixel size and effective focal length produce image scale in arcseconds per pixel.
Sensor field
Sensor dimensions and focal length estimate the angular width and height of the camera frame.
Go deeper
Use saved specs as the start, not the verdict.
Optical math can tell you what a setup should do geometrically. Real observing and imaging still depend on atmospheric conditions, mechanical quality, tracking, focus, sensor behavior, target choice, and technique.
