Astro-Snap Pro 2.1 Free download

AstroSnap is a comprehensive application that will allow you to take and process astronomical pictures with a webcam. It can also replay captured bitmap sequences as a video, and do light post processing (aligning and stacking). AstroSnap can measure the P.E. (periodic error) of your mount displaying a graph, as well as tracking speed error. · Simple image acquisition or real time frame integration (standard or loop frame integration). · Real time planetary video processing (at capture time) · Long exposure acquisition with the following cameras (modified following Steve Chambers' design) : Philips Vesta-SC, Toucam-SC, Quickcam Pro3000-SC. · Image resolution up to 800x600 · Focusing aid based on a star's apparent size (FWHM), along with sound indicator for remote tuning · Focusing aid on complex objects,along with a sound indicator for remote tuning · Image stabilization and automatic tracking of the object in the camera's field of view. · Automatic Dark or Flat-Field processing · Can let you make pseudo long exposures without tracking needed. · Automatic image selection based on each frame's quality (planetary imaging). · Manual or automatic saving of bitmaps. · Very fast and precise Polar aligning aid using two popular drift align methods : Bigourdan and King. · Can display a configurable graduated reticle · Can measure objects in real time. · Can help you determine the declination of a star. · Motion detection (for shooting stars). It can control telescopes (with a software handpad) with the following interfaces : · LX200 · Achay (serial port ) · Bonduelle (parallel port) · Kitsr'us kit model 74 · ASCOM · Michael Koch's serial port Relay Interfaces (Currently woking on FS2 interface compatibility). · Autoguiding · A new self-guiding feature for cameras modified with Steve Chambers' #2 mod. · You can now also control focusing, if you're using an LX200 telescope with the Meade electric focuser. · Can do autofocusing with the above configuration. · It shows Video image information : Saturation, brightness values histogram. · A new polar aligning method has been implemented : the KING method
