WinStars 2
Here are the chief characteristics of the software: a database of 2,500,000 stars; a catalogue of 10,000 nebulae, galaxies and star clusters; a direction of observation which is easily controlled by a mouse and in real time; a precise representation of the observable sky from a point on the earth’s surface on a given date; a 3D interface to give more realism to celestial objects;
StarStrider
StarStrider is a software planetarium, a virtual space-ship, an advanced 3-dimensional star chart, a solar system simulator, and more... It is both fun and educative, it is pure beauty and it is scientifically accurate at the same time. It is our hope that it will not only give you a glimpse at the wonders of the universe but also that it will inspire you with some of the awe that we feel for the universe. Enjoy!
AutomaDome™
AutomaDome™ with TheSky6™ Professional Edition automates the control of motorized domes to keep the dome’s slit synchronized with the telescope’s optic. AutomaDome computes the correct dome slit azimuth and elevation for any type of telescope, placed anywhere inside the dome. When used in conjunction with TheSky6 Professional Edition’s built-in telescope control, your dome automatically follows the telescope, without human intervention. The result is worry free telescope-in-dome operation.
TheSky6
TheSky6™ Astronomy Software is used by more observatories, controls more automated telescopes and is used in more classrooms than any other astronomy software.
Astro-Snap
Astro-Snap allows you to take astronomical pictures at low cost with a WEBCAM Simple image acquisition or real time frame integration (standard or loop frame integration). - Real time planetary video processing (at capture time) - Long exposure acquisition with the following cameras (modified following Steve Chambers' design) : Philips Vesta-SC, Toucam-SC, Quickcam Pro3000-SC. - Image resolution up to 800x600 - Focusing aid based on a star's apparent size (FWHM), along with sound indicator for remote tuning - Focusing aid on complex objects,along with a sound indicator for remote tuning - Image stabilization and automatic tracking of the object in the camera's field of view. - Automatic Dark or Flat-Field processing - Can let you make pseudo long exposures without tracking needed. - Automatic image selection based on each frame's quality (planetary imaging). - Manual or automatic saving of bitmaps. - Very fast and precise Polar aligning aid using two popular drift align methods : Bigourdan and King.
RedShift
he essential features of RedShift such as: catalogs, sky images, planetary data, sky rendering and several new guided tours
PlanetWatch
Although PlanetWatch has been in its present form for awhile; it holds its own against many newer astronomy simulators - and it runs on any PC version of Microsoft Windows from 3.0 to XP!
Astro Planner
AstroPlanner is a software application for Macintosh and Windows computers that facilitates astronomical visual observation planning and logging as well as control of Meade telescopes that use the LX200, LX200GPS or Autostar controllers, Celestron NexStar scopes, Astro-Physics GTO mounts, the Vixen SkySensor 2000 system , and several others. It also incorporates the Best Pair functionality for selecting optimum telescope alignment stars and tools for facilitating iterative
Deep Space
The full commercial version of Deep Space comes on a CD ROM that contains the 250,000 star NASA Skymap database, the 18-million star Guide Star Catalog, the Saguaro Deep Sky database with about 10,000 objects, and about 10,000 asteroids and comets. The program and data files can be downloaded for use on laptops or other computers that lack a CD ROM drive.
EasySky
Multiple Document Interface (MDI) - more than one window simultaneously Huge database - PPM with 340,000 stars included - GSC with 15 million stars supported - NGC, Messier with more than 13,000 objects All asteroids (converter for update included) Comets Freely definable horizon (mountains, houses, ...) Animation with all objects in real time or arbitrary steps Fixing of an arbitrary object in the screen center Animation of Jupiter's satellites Trails of planets, asteroids, and comets Printing of star charts 3D solar system view Different animation possibilities also in the solar system Location and time arbitrarily eligible Settings can be saved as documents and later be loaded again Many images of galaxies, planets - "slide show" Realistic display by the use of grey levels Colors freely adjustable (user dependent) Keyboard shortcuts for quicker handling Performance due to 32 bit (Windows 95,98,Me,NT,2000)
WCS
Why use WCS? This program helps you to polar align your mount using the drift alignment method with CCD or webcam support. It supports any cam which can be installed as a Windows device (Meade LPI, ToUcam, NexImage, etc). There's also a version available for the Meade DSI cameras. The error in polar azimuth and polar elevation can be adjusted very quickly, even if Polaris is not visible (e.g. obstructing trees, buildings, or if observing in the southern hemisphere)
SkyTools 2
SkyTools 2 is the latest version of our flagship product, designed to aid observers with observation planning, charting, and logging. SkyTools 2 boasts an astronomical database second to none and is the premier software for the observer.
