Astro-Snap Pro Description

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. Main features: 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
