Open Source C Astronomy Software - Page 6

Interface to allow access to UDF datasets from within IDL

This project is an initial reference implementation of the VSI-E protocol. The implementation has been done using the C/C++ language and is in the form of a re-useable library developed on the Linux platform.

XAudine : Linux control command software,GUI and device drivers for operating Audine astronomy CCD camera.

Xquetzal/Xitris Get, Process, Display, Store, Compress and Publish (In Web Page) Data from Analog Source Flux in Real Time using LabPC+ or Other A/D Convertor board.

Very simple utilite to manage Apogee cameras

A set of small utilities to operate with BTA telescope

ephem68k is an astronomy software the TI-92 and TI Voyage 200 CAS systems. It calculates astronomical data like julian date, local sidereal time, full/new moons, ephemerides of fixed and solar objects and more. ephem68k is based on ephem 4.29 code.

GCX provides a complete set of data-reduction functions for CCD photometry, accessible both from a GUI and the command line. It also controls CCD cameras and telescopes, and implements automatic observation scripting.

GLNebula is a program designed for the real-time visualization of planetary nebulae models produced by photoionization codes. It uses camera-oriented quads and point sprites to achieve real-time speeds, also provides free camera movements.

La P.A.P.A. (Python Alternative for Programming Astrophysics) want to give an alternative to the astrophysicists (and any one that use RSI-IDL) for start programming in Python using similar functions as IDL and at the same time learn the power of Python.

libadb is an astronomical catalog management library desgined to provide fast access to astronomical object data.

A collection of codes that allow a user to store and use data on quantum levels in a system such as an atom, molecule, or nucleus.

This library implements the serial commands supported by the Celestron NexStar hand control (HC) and SkyWatcher/Orion SynScan HC. This applies to the Celestron: NexStar GPS, NexStar GPS-SA, NexStar iSeries, NexStar SE Series, NexStar GT, CPC, SLT, Advanced-VX, Advanced-GT, CGE, CGEM etc. SkyWatcher: EQ5, HEQ5, EQ6 (Pro), AZ-EQ5 GT, AZ-EQ6 GT, EQ8 etc. and the corresponding Orion mounts. Communication to the hand control is 9600 bits/sec, no parity and one stop bit via the RS-232 port on the base of the hand control. Communication can be established over TCP/IP if nexbridge is running on the computer connected to the telescope. To control network based telescopes nexbridge must be used on the remote site. https://sourceforge.net/projects/nexbridge/

Libpsht is a collection of algorithms for efficient conversion between maps on the sphere and their spherical harmonic coefficients. It supports a wide range of pixelisations (including HEALPix, GLESP, and ECP). Development for this libary has stopped; its successor is libsharp (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libsharp).

NOTE: as of April 24, 2015, libsharp development has moved to Github (https://github.com/dagss/libsharp). Libsharp is a collection of algorithms for efficient conversion between maps on the sphere and their spherical harmonic coefficients. It supports a wide range of pixelisations (including HEALPix, GLESP, and ECP). This library is a successor of libpsht (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libpsht). A scientific overview over the functionality is given in the paper available at http://arxiv.org/abs/1303.4945.

Sombrero is a fast wavelet image processing and object detection C library for astronomical images. Sombrero is named after the "Mexican Hat" shape of the wavelet masks used in image convolution and is released under the GNU LGPL library.

lin-seti is a command-line program allowing to mantain a cache of work units for the Seti@Home client. Written in C, it should run on most unix-like systems, including linux. It is designed to be cache-compatible with 'Seti Driver' for Windows.

A clock for time on planet Mars.

This driver is derived from the PWC driver found in the Linux kernel. It adds V4L2 controls (`V4L2_CID_FLASH_STROBE/STROBE_STOP`) to drive the led present on some cameras. It also synchronously sets the video mode when power_save is off. This driver may be used to control long exposure modded webcams (SPC900, TouCam,..) when the led is used to trigger long exposure (this avoids the use of an additional serial port).

sastrocam (simple astronomy camera) -- simple camera control for astronomical imaging in Linux. Provides a simple web interface to the camera that will function well for remote control over a low bandwidth link.

Calculate Solunar Tables for any position on earth. Solunar tables are used to predict the best days and times of day to go hunting and fishing.

Universe@Home simulates the evolution of galaxies

UTS: Unified Telescope System. A modular system for controlling astronomical observatories.

Accrete is a physical simulation of solar system planet formation. This simulation works by modelling a dust cloud around a Sun-like star, injecting a series of masses which collect dust, and form planets by accretion.
