## Description

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.

## Tools

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

### 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

## Prompt Examples

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

**Response:** 
```
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.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a 2mm exit pupil comfortable for a 65-year-old observer?
```

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

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if 300x magnification is useful for a 150mm aperture telescope.
```

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

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate my telescope's magnification?**
You can use the `calculate_system_performance` tool by providing the telescope's focal length and the eyepiece's focal length.

**Can this tool help with eye comfort?**
Yes, the `analyze_viewing_comfort` tool evaluates if the exit pupil is well-matched to the observer's physiological pupil dilation based on their age.

**What is the Dawes' limit?**
The Dawes' limit is the theoretical resolving power of the telescope. The `calculate_system_performance` tool provides this value based on your aperture.
