Hello,

I use the Oculars plugin to check the image size of my different telescopes. Unfortunately I could not find a way to deactivate the zooming in/out when activating and deactivating the sensor size view. Is there a way to completely deactivate that, i.e. that the zoom factor stays as it is?

Thanks

Stephan

yes, oculars does zoom in so I just roll the mouse wheel to zoom out to what I want. The FOV of the ocular does not change.
Another thing I do is use Telrad. That allows me to have 3 fixed sizes on screen at all times. I set them for 8x, 20x binoculars, and my regular scope eyepiece.(6°, 3°, 1°). I then drag sky over to the Telrad circles. I have the circles at very dim red so they don't interfere with regular observing.
