Util.ChangeFocalLength(NewFocalLength)

The method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
NewFocalLength (Double) The new focal length, meters

Useful when a script has determined the true focal length of the telescope (e.g., via plate solution). This will alter the configured focal length, and therefore calculated plate scales, for subsequent plate solutions and other calculations.
