Bug Description
To create a finderscope in the ocular plugin you have to reverse engineer the focal length from its magnification and aperture.
it would be better if finderscopes were a separate set of options defined by aperture and magnification, as this would also allow you to 'flip' between the scope view and the finder view with one click.
Final thought, if the finder and scope views could be shown side by side it would be great.

Quick question.
I recently got a new 6x30 Finder Scope and I made it in Stellarium Oculars Plugin as a Binocular with a 7 degree field of view and 6x magnification with crosshairs. The problem is that when made as Binoculars Stellarium doesn't flip the view upside down and backwards. But I can't make it as a Telescope because I don't know the lens focal lengths and the objective and eyepiece lenses are fixed as one finder scope unit anyway. What is the best way to make a simulated Finder Scope in the Ocular Plugin that allows you to flip the image upside down and backwards like the view actually is?
Thanks.
