Summary: Feature request: Bahtinov mask focus assist tool
Product: kstars

GUI example for Bahtinov focus assistant.
SUMMARY
Implement Bahtinov focus in Ekos.
Allow focus using a Bahtinov mask. This should be an expansion of the current
focus implementation in kstars/Ekos.
As Bahtinov focus is usually done on one star at the time, the auto select star
should be disabled, forcing the user to select the star on which to perform the
Bahtinov focus algorithm.
For the Bahtinov focus algorithm the algorithm used in the Bahtinov-grabber
project can be used (and adapted to fit in kstars/Ekos).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Point your telescope at a bright star and place the Bahtinov mask on your
telescope
2. Start kstars
3. Open Ekos
4. Connect to camera
5. Select focus tab
6. Select detection algorithm Bahtinov
7. Capture an image
8. Select star in image
9. The Bahtinov lines will be shown in the image and the HFR (or focus error)
is shown below the V-Curve
OBSERVED RESULT
Not applicable as it is a new feature
EXPECTED RESULT
Assist in focus using a Bahtinov mask
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
All supported OS.
