Home [AudelaA Free, Open Source Astroimaging Software] Audela is a free and open source astronomy software intended for digital observations (CCD cameras, Webcams, etc.). Its concept is entirely new, because whilst it features advanced image processing and acquisition functions like existing software, its originality lies in the fact that it is entirely reprogrammable using simple scripts. It has been written for both Windows and Linux platforms and can control many telescope mounts and cameras or DSLRs. Why is Audela different? Audela is fully customizable. Sign in on our users mailing list To get help or to if you saw some bugs. Audela snapshots releases: Audela 2.0.20120312 (Mar 12 2012) Last Audela snapshots are available from Sourceforge repository. Stable release: Audela 2.0.0 (Oct 14 2010) Audela 2.0.0 is available! Sbig drivers for GNU/Linux Sbig camera are managed with Audela under GNU/Linux.
Focal Reducers f/6.3 Focal Reducer/Corrector Ref: DH-94175CELESTRON 94175 This combination focal reducer and field corrector lens accessory works with all Celestron 5", 8", 9 1/4", 11" and 14" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes as well as most other brands. This clever accessory makes it possible to have a dual focal ratio instrument, without sacrificing image quality. The Reducer/Corrector is f/6.3 for C5, C8, C9¼ and C11 telescopes and f/7 for the C14 telescope. If offers wide fields of view with any Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Celestron doesn’t offer a f/6.3 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, because the design is impractical, with a large central obstruction, and resulting loss in contrast. Fits Celestron and Meade telescopes
Filter Wheels for Astronomy The USB filter wheel is unique in that it does not require a separate power supply when used with USB control - the high performance DC gearmotor runs entirely from the USB supply and consumes less than 100mA. It is also capable of operation from a serial input, or from a switched hand controller, both of which power the wheel from a small dry battery. The wheel is light and slim, with an easy change system of thumbscrews to swap filter disks without tools. The wheel is quiet in operation and the Hall-Effect 3 bit encoded positioning gives absolute filter locations (not serially sequential) so you can easily swap between any filters without accidentally losing the wheel position. The price includes the wheel with one set of adaptors and filter disk - please choose the appropriate product below.

Sept-Îles Clear Sky Chart It's the astronomer's forecast. At a glance, it shows when it will be cloudy or clear for up to the next two days. It's a prediction of when Sept-Îles, QC, will have good weather for astronomical observing. The data comes from a forecast model developed by Allan Rahill of the Canadian Meteorological Center. So, I (Attilla Danko) wrote a script to generate the images like the one above which summarizes CMC's forecast images just for Sept-Îles and the surroundings out to about 15 Kms. There are charts for 4701 locations. Summary: In the rows labeled "sky conditions", find a column of blue blocks. Details: Read the image from left to right. The line, labeled Cloud Cover forecasts total cloud cover. CMC's text page explaining this forecast is here. The line, labeled Transparency, forecasts the transparency of the air. Above average transparency is necessary for good observation of low contrast objects like galaxies and nebulae. The line, labeled Seeing, forecasts astronomical seeing.

Sky Show Thursday: Leonid Meteor Shower to Peak {*style:<b>Featuring perhaps the fastest meteors of any shower, the Leonids this week may be easy to locate but hard to actually see, thanks in both cases to the moon. ( Get the scoop on last year's Leonids .) </b>*} "The quarter-phase moon"—when the lunar disk appears half dark—"will interfere with meteor watching this year," said Ben Burress, staff astronomer at the Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland, California. "But since [the moon] won't rise until after local midnight, and meteors can be seen in the earlier hours as well, there is a spell of time in the evening of the 17th when the sky will be moonless and darker, making for good conditions for viewing," Burress said. For instance, sky-watchers worldwide can try looking up at the eastern sky during the predawn hours of Friday, when the Leonids' peak will produce about 20 visible shooting stars an hour. Astronomers also expect as many as three outbursts during which there could be upward of 200 meteors an hour.
