5ed100, or the stellar magnitude tuning, is an equal-step tuning with each pitch being about 2.512 times larger than the other, the number known as the Pogson's ratio.

Theory

The tuning is pretty meaningless as far as pitches go, since there's only 7-8 steps of it in the entire human hearing range, but it has a real life equivalence to astronomy - each step of it is known as the Pogson's ratio and it has an application of being the factor which sets two stars being 1 magnitude apart.
