AstroTortilla is a wrapper around common astrophotography tools intended to automate basic tasks such as polar alignment and goto correction. Not in active development presently.

p3d is a general data-reduction tool for use with fiber-fed integral-field spectrographs (IFSs); although, the spectrum viewer works with spectrum data cubes of any origin. The tool is built about the proprietary software IDL (Harris/EXELIS; see http://www.harrisgeospatial.com), but can be used without any license. Most slowly running loops are implemented in parallelized C (OpenMP).

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.

SaVi - simulate Starlink, Iridium, Globalstar, O3b, GPS, Galileo and other satellite constellations, modify them, or design your own. Requires Tcl/Tk and Unix libraries; 3D viewing option requires Geomview running on X Window.

The PDL module gives standard perl the ability to COMPACTLY store and SPEEDILY manipulate the large N-dimensional data sets that are the bread and butter of scientific computing.

PARAMESH is a package of Fortran 90 subroutines designed to provide an application developer with an easy route to extend an existing serial code which uses a logically cartesian structured mesh into a parallel code with adaptive mesh refinement(AMR).

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.

This library is a Fortran 95 gnuplot interface for some Unix like OS'es. This provides some routines that enables direct access of a child gnuplot session from a Fortran 95 program. You will need a copy of fortranposix to make this work.

PMViewer is a Visualization tool for Astrophysical N-Body and Hydro Simulations. GADGET-2 data support.With/Without periodical boundary conditions.Snapshot of scene in PPM and GIF formats.Flying in 3D space. Active/Passive Stereo 3D support.

Ksetiwatch monitors multiple SETI@home clients running on your computer or in your local network, and logs/manages completed work units. It is developed for the K Desktop Environment.

This is a specialised utility that works with the astronomical digital video (ADV) standard (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/adv-standard/) and converts individual video frames to FITS files. ADV files can be recorded by devices such as the Astronomical Digital Video System (ADVS) - http://www.astrodigitalvideo.com.au/

A framework of drivers on which generic astronomical applications can be built.

Astronomical photographs preprocessing software

Astrosoft is a free indian astrology software program for astrologers and astrological students. Its a Java Swing based GUI Application. It provides Birth chart of individual with details of Lagna, Rasi, Nakshata, Thithi, Paksha and many more features.

It provides an USB connection for the communication with the PC, it uses a stepper motor that provides higher precision, you can set the motor in full step or in microstepp mode (1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8). The focuser include a temperature sensor. This driver has a ToolBox with which you can control manually the focuser (for example you can set the limits).

Planetarium software for Amiga.

GIRAFFE Base Line Data Reduction Software is a set of python scripts and modules and a C library to reduce FITS images produced by the Very Large Telescope (VLT) FLAMES instrument.

A high performance visualization tool for stars and particles able to run on Beowulfs. Rendering step is implemented separately and optimized for SSE, compatible with OpenGL. Navigation mechanism with quaternions. Ten color maps, sobel contour detect

JOrrery simulates the motion of planets moving under gravity. It comes with a number of initial "scenarios" you can run, such as "The solar system", "Earth & Moon" etc. You can also add more planets during a simulation.

Este sencillo programa permite controlar la cámara de video Mintron 12V6H. Se sitúa en la esquina inferior derecha de la pantalla. Tiene control de opacidad de manera que puede permanecer sobre la ventana de captura. Con sencillos controles permite gestionar los parámetros: AGC, ELC/ALC, SenseUp, Gamma y SenseUp/AGC Priority. Necesitarás un cable para la conexión mediante RS-485. ****************************************************** This simple program allows you to control the video camera Mintron 12V6H. It is located in the lower right corner of the screen. Has control opacity so it can stay on the capture window. With simple controls to manage parameters: AGC, ELC / ALC, SenseUp, Gamma and SenseUp / AGC Priority. You will need a cable to the RS-485 connection. Sorry, only in Spanish language.

MISS is a software simulation of the control room of the International Space Station. It is intended to be both entertaining and educational, aimed at high school students. Various pre-configured and random events encourage interaction and groupwork.
