Bug Description
Further to Bug 1656825:
For a given sensor the published horizontal and vertical pixel sizes, resolutions und sensor dimensions often leave room for interpretation.
For example Cannon published for it's EOS600D sensor:
Chip size: 22,3 x 14,9
Resolution: 5184 x 3456
Pixel size: 4,3 x 4,3
Resolution times pixel size does not accurately match the chip size.
Proposal:
Calculate exact chip sizes from resolutions and pixel sizes.
Calculate FOV and arcsec/pixel from exact chip sizes.
Present results in Stellarium rounded to 1 digit after comma (more are meaningless).
This assures that square pixels have equal h-scales and v-scales.

Counterproposal: Indicate pixel size calculated from Chip size (these are standardized like APS-C) and resolution, round displayed pixel size to 0.1µm. (So Pixel size is not editable.)
BTW, not always are pixels square!
