Open Source Solaris Astronomy Software

p3d is a general data-reduction tool for use with fiber-fed integral-field spectrographs (IFSs); although, the spectrum viewer works with spectrum data cubes of any origin. The tool is built about the proprietary software IDL (Harris/EXELIS; see http://www.harrisgeospatial.com), but can be used without any license. Most slowly running loops are implemented in parallelized C (OpenMP).

SaVi - simulate Starlink, Iridium, Globalstar, O3b, GPS, Galileo and other satellite constellations, modify them, or design your own. Requires Tcl/Tk and Unix libraries; 3D viewing option requires Geomview running on X Window.

Ksetiwatch monitors multiple SETI@home clients running on your computer or in your local network, and logs/manages completed work units. It is developed for the K Desktop Environment.

This library is a Fortran 95 gnuplot interface for some Unix like OS'es. This provides some routines that enables direct access of a child gnuplot session from a Fortran 95 program. You will need a copy of fortranposix to make this work.

Astrosoft is a free indian astrology software program for astrologers and astrological students. Its a Java Swing based GUI Application. It provides Birth chart of individual with details of Lagna, Rasi, Nakshata, Thithi, Paksha and many more features.

JOrrery simulates the motion of planets moving under gravity. It comes with a number of initial "scenarios" you can run, such as "The solar system", "Earth & Moon" etc. You can also add more planets during a simulation.

This is a specialised utility that works with the astronomical digital video (ADV) standard (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/adv-standard/) and converts individual video frames to FITS files. ADV files can be recorded by devices such as the Astronomical Digital Video System (ADVS) - http://www.astrodigitalvideo.com.au/

A framework of drivers on which generic astronomical applications can be built.

GIRAFFE Base Line Data Reduction Software is a set of python scripts and modules and a C library to reduce FITS images produced by the Very Large Telescope (VLT) FLAMES instrument.

NTuple is a Python module used by high-energy physicists and astrophysicists to easily and efficiently access ntuple data stored in large ROOT data stores. Specifically, NTuple provides a friendly Pythonic interface to TNtuples and TTrees stored in TFiles

This module implements the serial commands supported by the Celestron NexStar hand control (HC) and SkyWatcher/Orion SynScan HC. This applies to the Celestron: NexStar GPS, NexStar GPS-SA, NexStar iSeries, NexStar SE Series, NexStar GT, CPC, SLT, Advanced-VX, Advanced-GT, CGE, CGEM etc. SkyWatcher: EQ5, HEQ5, EQ6 (Pro), AZ-EQ5 GT, AZ-EQ6 GT, EQ8 etc. and the corresponding Orion mounts. Communication to the hand control is 9600 bits/sec, no parity and one stop bit via the RS-232 port on the base of the hand control. For extended example how to use this perl module look in to the distribution folder for nexstarctl.pl. This program is a complete console tool to control NexStar telesctopes based on NexStarCtl module. To control network based telescopes nexbridge must be used on the remote site. https://sourceforge.net/projects/nexbridge/

OpenWD is a scientific project to develop state-of-the-art models of white dwarf stars, to draw upon the collective expertise of astronomers around the world, and to facilitate comparisons between evolutionary and pulsational studies of white dwarf stars

Satellite Prediction Server and Clients

Satellite Tracking Web Service

A console-based monitoring tool for SETI@home.

ephemeritis is to be a library for ephemeris calculations. When complete, it will provide an API for calculating the positions, the rise and set times, and related information about stars, planets, the Moon, and other astronomical objects.

This library implements the serial commands supported by the Celestron NexStar hand control (HC) and SkyWatcher/Orion SynScan HC. This applies to the Celestron: NexStar GPS, NexStar GPS-SA, NexStar iSeries, NexStar SE Series, NexStar GT, CPC, SLT, Advanced-VX, Advanced-GT, CGE, CGEM etc. SkyWatcher: EQ5, HEQ5, EQ6 (Pro), AZ-EQ5 GT, AZ-EQ6 GT, EQ8 etc. and the corresponding Orion mounts. Communication to the hand control is 9600 bits/sec, no parity and one stop bit via the RS-232 port on the base of the hand control. Communication can be established over TCP/IP if nexbridge is running on the computer connected to the telescope. To control network based telescopes nexbridge must be used on the remote site. https://sourceforge.net/projects/nexbridge/
