Stellarium is a free GPL software which renders realistic skies in real time with OpenGL. It is available for Linux/Unix, Windows and macOS. With Stellarium, you really see what you can see with your eyes, binoculars or a small telescope. Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. Plugin system adding artifical satellites, ocular simulation, telescope control and more. Ability to add new solar system objects from online resources. Add your own deep sky objects, landscapes, constellation images, scripts, etc. ...

...It includes a suite of components and integrations that make it particuarly well-suited for video games, so it is not a stretch to call it a "game engine". However, Starlight is most fundamentally a scripting layer for SDL, Vulkan, and Bullet (via the Telescope backend), meaning it can be used for any application that needs high-performance rendering and physics. Furthermore, there are plans to allow selective enabling of different subsystems, meaning it could be used for GUI apps or pure physics simulation or anything else you can imagine.

This project aims at visualizing what a picture of a star will look like, depending on telescope, seeing conditions, settings of your astro camera etc. It simulates taking exposures of stars over a range of magnitudes and stacks them.

Calculates the shape of a telescope mirror from a sequence of Foucault test images. Java-based GUI simplifies entering and organizing measurement data. Logging and comparison functions enable quantification of the effects of various figuring strokes.
