Astrophotography software

---

Astroart 9 is a complete software for image processing, analysis, astrometry, photometry, camera and telescope control.

All major cameras, telescopes, filter wheels and focusers are supported for astrophotography. Observatory automation can be done with simple scripts.

Astroart is an open system based on plug-ins. It's used for science and education in several universities thanks to its friendly license. Several papers and discoveries have been made with it.

 

Astrometry and photometry
Assisted by an optimized star atlas. Single and batch photometry, aperture photometry, fast plate solving, automated reports and user annotations.

Image stacking
Extremely fast and accurate. Several algorithms for every situation (star fields, minor planets, spectrums, etc) with correction of optical distortions.

Image processing
Adaptive denoise, maximum entropy deconvolution, adaptive gradient removal, comet enhancement, unsharp mask, local histogram equalization, DDP, FFT, masks, etc. with realtime preview.

Color imaging
Native 96 bit (32 bit for each color plane), visualized in real time without modifying the underlying data. Realtime debayering, LRGB combine, adaptive saturation, easy to use for astrophotography.

Instrumentation
Camera, telescope and observatory automation, with integrated star atlas. Easy to learn script language, for any research you may need with an astronomy software.

High speed
Astroart is a fast multi-threaded application, optimized with SIMD code. It can align and stack hundreds of images quickly and offers realtime preview on most filters.
