IMAGE DETECTION/ANALYSIS/PROCESSING

automatic detection of stars using several catalogs: SAO, HIPPARCOS, TYCHO-2, USNO B1.0, NOMAD, 2MASS, GSC

automatic image mapping of DSO by Messier, NGC/IC, HYPERLEDA, UGC, MGC

automatic mapping of radio sources, xray/gamma sources, supernovas, extra-solar planets, asteroids, comets and artificial earth satellites

on click details (catalog info, measurements, spectrum, note and citations) for detected stars and galaxies. Data is mostly fetched from online source like Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg, United States Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station , Centre de Recherche Astrophysique de Lyon, The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia, NASA Orbital Information, NED - NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database .. etc.

access to imaging from various surveys(DSS, etc)

draw constellations lines+artwork for several cultures( Western, Chinese, Norse, Navajo, etc)

in image object/source search tool

Astronomical Distances Measurement Tool - measure distances in the sky between stars and galaxies

equatorial grid overlay

2D image distortion grid (test)

3D image distortion

3D image color graph

image processing(color/filters)

Image tagging with automatic EXIF data extraction(if available), position, target details, equipment used, weather conditions and text/record audio notes

Can open/save images in any of the formats: FITS, JPEG, TGA, BMP, GIF, TGA, TIFF, PSD, and a number of raw formats from digital cameras such as Canon, Nikon, Pentax, FujiFilm, Minolta, Olympus.

can print images with or without annotations

can upload/download/browse images and analysis data associated to an online collaboration site

customize the appearance (objects marks/units/lines/paths/etc)

IMAGE SEQUENCE ANALYSIS/PROCESSING

Image registration/stacking

automatic discovery of unknown objects

automatic path discovery of moving objects (test)

group info tagging

INSTRUMENTS CONTROL PANEL

works with multiple cameras simultaneous

most digital and web cameras are supported however only Canon Eos is fully implemented as per their SDK.

telescope and focus control. Does goto to any of the available catalog targets, tracking, and guiding. It works with ascom as well as a full implementation of the communication specification for meade and Celestron

realtime graphs: image histogram, weather conditions and focus

OTHER TOOLS

Observer profile: location(manually,geoip,gps), hardware setup, sites

Environment/weather monitoring tools: satellite imaging, forecast, seeing, light pollution map.

World Wide Astronomical Observatories Interactive Map with photos and details

Latest Sun image from SOHO and also XRay and last B-Field Event

Latest news headlines browser and calendar of ESA and NASA events

Planner - basic tasks/observation logs

Various calculators - instruments focal length, field of view, iso, units conversion etc.
