Hi all
Was given this link recently and checked it out this morning - looks to be a pretty useful tool!

A brief blurb:

AstroDigital.Net is a free telescope, eyepiece and CCD calculator for astrophotographic and visual work. It computes the most important characteristics of your telescope system for a given eyepiece and camera combination, e.g: Magnification - Field Of View - Sensitivity - Exit pupil - Optimal flat value - Min. oversampling - Light gathering - Limited magnitude - Resolution - Image scale - Number of visible stars - Time window for planetary photography. AstroDigital.Net offers both a transparent and a configurable night vision mode. Keep it running every night on your laptop during your astronomy session!

The latest version also includes CCD calculation apparently, so useful for astrophotographers, too.
