Open Source WINE Astronomy Software

Software for Moon observation and survey. Let you visualize the real Moon aspect at every time. Also help to study any lunar formations using feature database and pictures library.

Aciqra is a virtual planetarium and sky mapping program which tracks celestial bodies including planets, deep sky objects and stars to an accuracy of a fraction of a degree for thousands of years into both the future and the past. It includes the 2.5 million stars of the Tycho-2 catalog supplemented by data of 120,000 stars from the Hipparcos catalog, 13,000 deep space objects from the NGC and IC catalogs and a large number of asteroids and comets from the Minor Planet Center. The program is platform-independent and can be made to work on most modern computers that support OpenGL.

Program vznikol ako ročníková práca z informatiky na Gymnáziu Jána Adama Raymana v Prešove. Vznikol na základe programu PC – Sun (autor: V. Feik), ktorý slúži na digitalizáciu pozorovaní Slnka na Hvezdárni Františka Pešty v Sezimovom Ústí (ČR). Program Slnečné škvrny slúži na digitalizáciu pozorovaní slnečných škvŕn a fakulových polí. Pozorovania sú následne štatisticky spracované do tabuliek a grafov popisujúcich aktivitu Slnka. Program taktiež umožňuje výpočet fyzikálnych súradníc Slnka, Carringtonovej otočky a juliánskeho dátumu. Program je určený pre astronómov – amatérov aj profesionálnych astronómov. Program rieši komplexne problém pozorovania slnečných škvŕn. Taktiež realizuje kontrolu vstupných dát od užívateľa. Pre správne fungovanie programu je potrebné dať užívateľovi právo zapisovať do priečinku "C:\Program Files\Slnecne skvrny".

Starblinker allows to easily search for new stars in your astronomical photos. The new star could be: 1) An already known or a new unknown asteroid; 2) An already known or a new unknown comet; 3) An already known or a new unknown galactic nova; 4) If it is superimposed to an external galaxy, an already known or a new unknown supernova; Before reporting a potential new discovery, please make all necessary checks to be sure it is not an already known object or a defect in your image.

Spectroheliograph like Sol'Ex captured SER videos processing with simultaneous extraction and processing of main line image, subtracting image (for Helium), main2 image (for Doppler) and reference image for geometric processing of main image. Saves resulting images (main and reference) in FITS and XCF formats. Separate delta positions from baseline fitted curve for all lines (main, main2/subtractive and reference). Correction of inclination and size ratio of images. Doppler color image creation from adjoining lines (main1/main2). Transversalium correction. Glare reduction. Opens resulting images on Image16 for further processing.

This program calculates approaching solar eclipses. For this purpose, it calculates the positions of sun, moon, mercury and venus in the horizontal coordinate system. These values can be visualized and exported in many common formats.

SoundStepper is a "100% software" telescope controller, for Windows, using audio hardware to control step motors at real time. All it requires to operate are external step motor drives, which can be a commercial "pulse/direction" drive or analog current amplifiers. Documentation: http://soundstepper.sourceforge.net/
