Stellarium renders 3D photo-realistic skies in real time with OpenGL. It displays stars, constellations, planets, nebulae and others things like ground, landscape, atmosphere, etc.

EQ Track purpose is to provide amateur telescope makers (ATM) with electronic board schematics and embedded software to control their telescope mount via stepping motors. EQ Track comes in different "flavors" : - "Basic" controls the right ascension and declination motors of an equatorial mount. - "Go To" controls the motors of a mount in any orientation (ie. equatorial, altazimuth, alt-alt), to point and track equatorial coordinates.

AstroCTC (Astronomy CCD in Telescope Capture) is an application designed for video and image capture of the Planets and the Moon. A suitable astronomy or modified webcam will give the best results, however it will work with most webcams. The camera driver must be V4L2 compliant. Numerous video and image formats are available, however FITS image support is mostly basic and should only be used by those familiar with it. AstroCTC is intended for use with Linux only. While AstroCTC is...

...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/

RTS2 is project to create an open source environment for control of a fully autonomous observatory. It is running about dozen fully autonomous observatories. Its modular design allow easily addition of new devices (to already huge supported HW list).

This this program transparently proxies the serial commands supported by the Celestron NexStar hand control over the network, so that the telescope can be controlled over the network. It is recommended to be used with libnexstar or NexStarCtl on the remote end. However it proved to be very useful for exporting all kinds of telescope mounts on the network like Sky-Watcher, Meade etc. Nexbridge can be used directly with software like SkySafari or through ttynet (part of the package) or other serial port emulator with software like Stellarium, to control the network exported telescopes. ...

Software to control a remote telescope via a web interface. Includes software needed to operate a motorized dome, telescope, and cameras.This project has been partially funded by a grant from the Northwest Academic Computing Consortium.

The threeaxis project will provide support for controlling three axis telescope mounts. This includes documentation of pointing equations, a simulation of the mount's motion, and real-time control software.

Talon is a a fully automated open-source solution for automated telescope and observatory control. Talon controls all aspects of robotic astronomical observations, including telescope control, dome control, image processing, scheduled operations, and envi
