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.

HSPI offers to the astronomer the possibility to capture pictures from the CCD camera in a fast and intuitive way, keeping under control all the instrumentation in posses. HSPI can control the CCD camera, the mount, the focuser, the filter wheel and the dome from a single interface, and not only this: these features can be added on as many observatories and instrumentations you want. HSPI is ASCOM and INDI compatible, so if you want to use particular setups like Linux computers connected with your instrumentation and control them from remote then HSPI is your choice! ...

...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.
