Other telescope product lines include the CGE, CGEM, CPC, NexStar, Omni, Onyx, AstroMaster, Ambassador, TravelScope,StarSense Explorer and PowerSeeker product lines. [10] These range from large computerized reflectors with GPS to decorative/casual viewing telescopes with brass tube refractors on wood mounts. Celestron products (as of 2010) include:
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.
Currently, astrometric solving is exclusively done by software programs. The program extracts the star x,y positions from the celestial image, groups them in three-star triangles or four-star quads. Then it calculates for each group a geometric hash code based on the distance and/or angles between the stars in the group.
Astrophotography, also known as astronomical imaging, is the photography or imaging of astronomical objects, celestial events, or areas of the night sky. The first photograph of an astronomical object (the Moon ) was taken in 1840, but it was not until the late 19th century that advances in technology allowed for detailed stellar photography.
The ESA/ESO/NASA FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) Liberator is a free software program for processing and editing astronomical data in the FITS format to reproduce images of the universe. Version 3 [ 1 ] and later are standalone programs; earlier versions were plugins for Adobe Photoshop .
