Hello. I have a little linguistic problem. :) The recent addition of Barlow lens support to the Oculars plugin uses "multiplicity" in the GUI to characterize the lenses. I'm not sure if this is the right term in English.
Here are several dictionary definitions of "multiplicity": http://www.thefreedictionary.com/multiplicity And there's a mathematical term, but it seems even less relevant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicity_%28mathematics%29 I also did a Google search and it seems that the only place to use "multiplicity" with Barlow lenses is Stellarium's code. :) I think that the intended term was "multiplier", and that the appropriate label for that value in our case should be "multiplier", "magnification" or "magnification factor" (see here: http://taggart.glg.msu.edu/astro/barlow.htm ), but I'm not a native speaker. Can someone clarify this? Any other comments are welcome.
