A handy tool designed to help beginner Astronomers. The software Astronomy CCD Calculator uses NASA/SkyView survey resource which provides CCD images of the night sky.It helps you plan an observation by letting you play with different instruments resulting various "Fields Of View" so you can see what your camera will capture and choose the best target for the session.

...The software has been described in some scientific papers, e.g. http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ICME.2011.6012212 and http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11042-011-0915-x. This software is the result of my PhD at the University of Chile and the participation at TRECVID Content-Based Copy Detection (CCD) evaluation task 2010 and 2011. More details in http://www-nlpir.nist.gov/projects/tv2011/tv2011.html#ccd and in http://www-nlpir.nist.gov/projects/tvpubs/tv11.papers/prisma.pdf P-VCD has also been used at TRECVID tasks: Instance Search (INS) 2012-2013 and Multimedia Event Detection (MED) 2013. This project is currently supported by ORAND S.A.Chile (http://www.orand.cl/) and is partially funded by Conicyt PAI-781204026.

astroDevice is a software platform for the control of astronomical instruments (telescope mount, filter wheel, focuser and CCD) through a single interface. This platform manages any astronomical device through plug-ins. It can manage multiple devices of same type (eg two telescope mounts). astroDevice is an alternative to ASCOM and INDI by providing a common interface between each device type and astronomy software such as Starry Night, KStars, Skychart and Stellarium.

jFITS is a Java Swing based application and applet for quickly viewing and performing simple operations on astronomical FITS formatted CCD imaging data.
