Simon Newcomb published his theory, known as Tables of the Sun, in 1898. It was used by the American Ephemeris and the Astronomical Almanac into the 1980's to compute the daily positions of the Sun. This Theory is a semi-analytic model which expresses quantities as a trigonometric series with numerical coefficients. This type of model produces a compact computer function which has enough accuracy to be useful to most users. My goal is to create a model using C which will reproduce exactly...

...Communication to the hand control is 9600 bits/sec, no parity and one stop bit via the RS-232 port on the base of the hand control. Communication can be established over TCP/IP if nexbridge is running on the computer connected to the telescope. To control network based telescopes nexbridge must be used on the remote site. https://sourceforge.net/projects/nexbridge/

The Ground Station Software Suite projects aims at providing free, useful software tools for ham radio operators. Currently, this projects hosts the Grig communication radio control. The source repository has been moved over to github.

NOTE: as of April 24, 2015, libsharp development has moved to Github (https://github.com/dagss/libsharp). Libsharp is a collection of algorithms for efficient conversion between maps on the sphere and their spherical harmonic coefficients. It supports a wide range of pixelisations (including HEALPix, GLESP, and ECP). This library is a successor of libpsht (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libpsht). A scientific overview over the functionality is given in the paper available at...

Libpsht is a collection of algorithms for efficient conversion between maps on the sphere and their spherical harmonic coefficients. It supports a wide range of pixelisations (including HEALPix, GLESP, and ECP). Development for this libary has stopped; its successor is libsharp (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libsharp).

L.E.I.C.A. (Long Exposure Internet CAmera) is an application that takes input from your webcam, or v4l2 device, and makes a long-exposure image. Until now there's only a python binding for this app, soon there will be a C/C++ SDL one

Desktop gadget (Windows only). The simulation of a real horizontal sundial, dependent on a geographic position (latitude). Size can be chosen between big and small. It can use current (computer) time, or user-specified date&time.

A system designed to drive a computer motorized telescope mount to track artificial satellites in real time. Additionally, provides video time stamping using GPS via dedicated hardware solution.
