天文常用软件

• Backyard EOS - for camera control, easily the best $$ you’ll spend on AP software.
• Stellarium - free software that lets you input your coordinates and will show you when objects will be up and at what time.
• DeepSkyStacker - for stacking multiple exposures together into one image.
• StarTools - post-processing software written by /u/verylongtimelurker
• PixInsight - post-processing software
• Photoshop CS2 - free from Adobe but requires you to make an Adobe ID
• Registax - planetary video processing/stacking software
• Autostakkert! 2 - planetary video stacking software
• Microsoft ICE - mosaic/composite image stitching software
• FITS Liberator - FIT -> TIFF file converter
• Virtual Dub - video converting software, requires plugin for .MOV -> .AVI
• Astrotortilla - calibrate your GoTo tracking mount, GoTo any target with arcsecond accuracy and measure your polar alignment error
• PHD1 PHD2 - guiding software to correct mount errors for longer exposures.
• PIPP - Planetary imaging pre-processor, good for shaving down file sizes with cropped, stabilized planetary shots
• iMerge - Used for one-click image stitching with border feathering & Histogram
• StarStax - used for creating star trail images
• Lykeos - free planetary stacker (OSx)
• EQMOD - a suite of open source applications that can provide an alternative to the hand controller
• Sequence Generator Pro - image capture suite for astrophotography.
• SharpCap 2 - Flexible image capturing software, records in raw, uncompressed files
• FireCapture - Simple image capturing software that re-sizes video resolution automatically & has auto align & dark frame reduction features
• Winjupos - planetary processing software for derotation/mapping/planetary moon alignment
• digiCamControl - Free camera control for those with Nikon DSLRs.
• PEMPro - periodic error correction, polar alignment and backlash using your CCD Camera or Webcam
• Sofortbild - Free capture control for mac + nikon.
• DSLR Shutter - Free sequence capture control for Mac/PC + lots of DSLRs. You need a shutter control interface, like this one in order to use this with a nikon however.
• Nebulosity 3 - $80 capture and processing software for Mac/PC. Supports a bunch of Canon DSLRs and astro cams.
• MicroObservatory - A piece of software that is meant to be used to process images from MicroObservatory.org, it’s not really good for much else, but it does a damned good job of teaching people the basics of processing RGB FITS data.
• MaximDL - Great CCD Camera control software and decent processing power too.
• CCDOPS - The software that comes with sBig CCD cameras also available separately.
• Astronomer Control Panel - Remote imaging software.
• CCD Stack - Stacking software for CCD images
• SkySolve - Plate Solving software.
• CCD Imaging Calculators - For calculating all things related to CCD imaging (FOV/pixel size/etc)
• Gemini Controller Software - For those that use Gemini controlled mounts
• Astro Planner - for planning/logging/visualizing astrophotography sessions
• GIMP - post processing/image editing software
• Lin Guider - guiding for Linux
• sbigControl - relatively cheap sbig camera control program. can drive sbig adaptive optics devices.
• AstroImager - AstroImager is a powerful, but easy to use image capture application for the astrophotography. (OSX)
• AstroTelescope - AstroTelescope, is a simple planetarium and telescope control application for the astrophotography. (OSX)
• AstroGuider - AstroGuider is a simple to use guiding application for your telescope mount. It can be calibrated semi-automatically or manually, you do not need to take care about camera orientation or pixel scale. (OSX)

Plugins for Photoshop:

Astronomical Image Processing Programs

• Keith’s Image Stacker - For stacking planetary images
• Lykenos $Free - Planetary image stacking and processing
• Astrostack - Image stacking and processing
• Nebulosity - Camera control, focus, image acquisition automation, image calibration, image processing
• PixInsight

Recommended starting software for planetary imaging:

• OACapture - for taking pictures or videos: free
• SiriL - for stacking planetary images: free
• PixInsight - for processing your planetary images to get the most detail out of them: $230 EUR

Unfortunately planetary processing software is a gap right now on the Mac. You need wavelet processing to get the most detail out of your images, and currently PixInsight is the only real option. There are two other apps that might run on older hardware and operating systems (Lynkeos and Keiths Image stacker), but they’re not developed any longer, and crash often on modern hardware. They are however, free applications.

For more advanced options, you might switch out Planetary Imager for FireCapture.
