Under control
All numerical data and results in Astroart can be easily accessed and verified, using an intuitive
user interface.
From a single pixel to a list of objects, everything is under control for reliable astrometry and photometry.
The browser
A very fast image browser let you analyze and select astronomical images.
The visualization can be changed in real time. Both single and grid modes are included.
Annotations
Annotations are figures and label placed over the image, on an separated layer.
They are saved as Comments in the FITS Header, so they are not lost even if
you process the image with other software. They can be shared and edited with the free AvisFV FITS viewer.
Comet analysis
Several filters (MCM, RW, rotational gradient) can be used to study faint structures and jets
inside comets.
These filters are performed with realtime preview, to easily find the best
parameters.
Astrometry and photometry
The astrometric and photometric calibration is a key feature of Astroart since version 1.0. It
can be assisted by a star atlas which supports all major catalogs.
Photometry on sequences can be setup quickly, and custom reports with graphs can be generated easily.
Astrometry with plate solving
Astrometry can be done also with a single mouse click using the integrated plate solving engine.
Try its speed and reliability with the demo version.
MPC reports
After measuring RA, DEC. and magnitude of minor planets or comets, a correctly
formatted report should be sent to the MPC.
Astroart automatically creates a correct report from your measures.
The star atlas
Optimized for millions of stars and minor planets, it can explore the fields
in realtime (all stars, up to 21° magnitude and half million minor planets).
All major star catalogs are supported. Planning your observations
becomes easy and intuitive.
