Smart telescopes were introduced to the consumer market in the 2010s. They are self contained astronomical imaging devices that combine a small (50mm to 114mm objective) telescope and GoTo technology with pre-packaged software designed for astrophotography of deep-sky objects.
The following is a list of astronomical observatory software. Commercial software ... Space Telescope Science Data Analysis System; Starlink Project; Stellarium;
Siril is a software application for astrophotography, which allows pre-processing and processing of images from any type of camera (CCD, planetary camera, webcam etc.). The images must be converted to 32-bit FITS format which is the format used natively by Siril.
A range of astronomy software is also available and used by amateur astronomers, including software that generates maps of the sky, software to assist with astrophotography, observation scheduling software, and software to perform various calculations pertaining to astronomical phenomena.
Cor Berrevoets (Netherlands) began development of the program about 2001, [7] and it was released on 19 May 2002. [8] This initial release (version v1.0.0) had facilities for stack alignment, grading and selection of the images to be merged, and image enhancement using techniques such as wavelet processing.
From an astronomer's point of view, it is a simple matter of installing the ASCOM platform and suitable client software; no programming is required. ASCOM drivers allow computer-based control of devices such as planetarium software to direct a telescope to point at a selected object. Using a combination of mount, focuser and imaging device ...
Planetarium software is application software that allows a user to simulate the celestial sphere at any time of day, especially at night, on a computer. Such applications can be as rudimentary as displaying a star chart or sky map for a specific time and location, or as complex as rendering photorealistic views of the sky .
