Nebulosity
Nebulosity (Windows and OS X) is designed to be a powerful, but simple to use capture and processing application for a wide range of astronomy CCD cameras. Many cameras are supported for capture (see below) and images from just about anything can be processed (support for many FITS formats, PNG, TIFF, JPEG, CR2/CRW, etc). Its goal is to suit people ranging from the novice imager who wants to create his or her first images to the advanced imager who wants a convenient, flexible capture application for use in the field. In it, you get a host of purpose-built powerful tools to make the most out of your images (e.g., Digital Development Processing, traditional alignment/stacking (equatorial and alt-az), Drizzle alignment/stacking, Bad Pixel Mapping, LRGB tools, real-time tricolor histograms for color balancing, star tightening via edge detection, adaptive scaling of stacks, Canon CR2/CRW RAW Bayer matrix loading, 32/96-bit accuracy, etc.)

CCD Commander
Imagine setting up for a night of imaging, falling asleep, and then waking in the morning with images of multiple targets - each autoguided and autofocused. Your mount is parked and you have darks and flats for all your images. With a quick glance you confirm that all your images were guided successfully and your camera temperature was stable throughout the night. All of this is a reality with CCD Commander.

REGISTAX
Free Image Processing Software The interface has been rebuild once more. We have removed the tabs on the rightside of the windows and extended the a controlbar with tabs (see Interface). Also the messagewindows now come in a different format and they can sometimes be used to set certain defaults. Batch-mode Operation RegiStax now can be operated also in a batchmode on AVI-files using a (currently limited) set of operators that allow you to align/optimize/stack and save the result. The command-list allows you to set: -filename to be processed -default directory -alignmentpoint X,Y (for single alignment) -alignmentpointfile (for multiple alignment) -first/last frame to process (block processing) -number of frames to be stacked -create reference (number of frames) -waveletsettings (filename) -autosave results (format) -autoexit after processing Added Input formats: Two sequential (multiple frames in a single file ) formats have been added both aiming at the output of Lumenera stylecamera’s: -16 bit (per channel) AVI format based on K3CCDtools format (Peter Katreniak) -16 bit (per channel) SER format based on LucamRecorder (Heiko Wilkens) Alignmentpage - 3 alignmentmethods (single, multi-point and none) - view full image (during alignment and during positioning of alignmentpoints) - user defined alignmentbox (draw an alignmentbox -single alignment around a feature) - option to “ignore” warnings (and frames) that are misaligned - allows you to define which messages (during alignment/optimisation) to show - predefined fits/tif image-stretching (usefull when datasets for instance do not span the full 16bits of a file makeing the preview look very dark) - automated detection of actual used “bitdepth” of imageformats (only for >8bits) to the nearest 2^n level

BifsConv
This software is a to-FITS (fit) image converter; it accepts images in various formats. Some variants and flavours aren't translated, due to some undocumented things. No more problems viewing/working, with its favourite astronomical image processor, satellite images in Titus format, PDS (except the images by Clementine and a few by Mars Global Surveyor), VICAR, TIFF, SBIG's and StarLight's ones, etc. FITS files can be Rice or IHW compressed.
