The result is the best possible pointing accuracy for your Celestron telescope. Search for item and item This option requires a two-cable connection. Please see the full list compatible telescope mounts below to confirm your mount is compatible with CPWI.
As you can expect with any new iteration of a software program, Starry Night 8 has implemented many improvements across the board. The foremost of these for telescope users is the updated interconnectivity and their more rigorous ephemeris generator. You can also print them out and keep them around, and graphs are also supported by the software.
As you can imagine, crawling these databases can be a chore. Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams are also available, for those of you who are particularly interested in the stars. Along with all this, a stronger data backup system and the option for cloud sync ensures that any data bookmarked or created by the user remains safe and sound at LiveSky.
SkySafari 6 is the native platform for SkyFi, which we mentioned above when writing about Starry Night 8. SkySafari 6 is available in three forms, the AR, the Plus, and the Pro, and the depth of their databases will vary depending on which one you get.
If you crack out the wallet and make some in-app purchases, you can get as many as million stars. It also has the PGC catalog that has , to 3. All of this information is backed up in three ways. The first is simple cloud storage, the second is stored on the LiveSky site, and if you have devices that run off of iOS, it can sync data with them too. The software also has a tilt-to-slew capability that allows you to move your telescope without moving your eye off the eyepiece.
If you have a computerized mount on your telescope, it can communicate with C2A and get controlled by it. Between all of these, you should have all the object catalogs you need, but C2A also supports the ability to make your own catalogs and add your own data to these pre-existing ones. These can be saved in either their native catalog format or a text file format. For use with telescopes, C2A has its own ephemeris generator that can accurately predict where celestial objects will be and when.
The C2A ephemeris generator even includes the ability to calculate the pathways and orbits of naturally occurring space satellites like asteroids or comets. For relatively local astronomy, C2A has the Ecliptic View tool that presents to you an animation of the solar system, which allows you to see the ephemerides at play in real-time.
This includes the ISS, too. Next up we have the Voyager 4. For telescope control purposes, the most pertinent information is that this updated Voyager iteration supports telescopes of most types. For telescopic communication, a USB-to-serial adapter would be required. The Voyager 4. There you can find panoramic shots of horizons from all over the world but the standout part of this feature is the fact you can record your own backyard with the same effect.
That way you can save a panoramic view of the stars as they look from your home, perfect for domestic astronomy. Naturally, the calendar is great for identifying astronomical events that coincide with religious days. More to that point, the software also has a connection to the Minor Planet Center and is capable of downloading new data about passing comets, letting you know of perfect stargazing opportunities. As a minor endpoint, the Voyager 4. Below the temperature degree C and absolute focuser position mm versus time minute.
In this figure we can clearly see that temperature decreases top plot in degree C , almost linearly over time in minutes , the absolute position of the focuser bottom plot in mm needed to hold the best focus does not. At first, the focuser moved inward by about microns in 12 minutes, then outward by microns or so in 10 minutes, before eventually traveling inward again.
Obviously without SharpLock frequent refocusing and imaging interruptions would have been required. The temperature dropped at a rate close to 3 degrees C per hour, which is fast enough to create such behavior. Modeling of this effect is very difficult and prevents a correction strategy based on predictive open loop techniques. SharpLock technology is able to evaluate actual images in real time and hold optimum focus by continuously compensating for changes. Your images will remain sharp frame after frame.
Our SkyGuard full frame guiding and focusing integrates our patented SharpLock Technology to provide an easy-to-use focusing application that functions whenever guiding is active. The ONAG cold-mirror introduces a slight astigmatism to the guide image allowing SKG to easily determine on which side of focus the camera is currently positioned. SKG quickly drives the focuser to the optimal focus position and maintain focus for weeks or months at a time.
SKG is the first method of focus that uses real-time feedback. Most methods of focus, including backlash compensation and temperature compensation, work by modeling the focus against a correlated physical parameter.
These models can then be used to partially correct for changes in focus. However they cannot correct for any changes that fall outside their models. SKG uses a different approach. By introducing a slight astigmatism into the guide image SKG is able to detect drifts in focus in real time and correct for them.
This means that the system will correct for any source of poor focus, even if that source has not been modeled. A hardware compatibility list is being done here.
Acquisition software generally have to handle high-end cameras, DLSR and focusers. Autoguiding software generally have to handle low-end cameras and telescope motorisations, possibly focusers too.
They make very different tasks and address a large range of devices. See Ekos , GoQat and Audela. Qastrocam-g2 also has a guiding capability. What else? GoTo functionality is generally managed by cartography software. The others has a list of software supporting each camera. Last version released in June
