AstroImageBrowser is a versatile software for astrophotography planning and browsing astronomical objects. It helps in exploring the vast universe with ease.
AstroImageBrowser is an amazing software that can help astronomers plan, explore and browse astronomical objects with ease. One of the most useful things about this software is that it allows users to download images of astronomical objects from any part of the sky, and manipulate them in a wide variety of ways. For instance, users can overlay images with a grid, camera/CCD geometries, object labels, or other pictures. They can also convert, scale, colorize, annotate, and print these images.
AstroImageBrowser is particularly useful for astronomers who want to plan their astrophotography sessions. After taking their pictures, they can then use AstroImageBrowser to superimpose these pictures on the DSS image. But even if you're not an astrophotographer, you'll find this software both fun and helpful.
AstroImageBrowser comes packed with a variety of features that make it an incredibly powerful tool. Some of its main features include the ability to download Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) images from one of six all-sky surveys, continuous adjustable download image sizes up to 1 square degree, local caching of images to save redownloading image or to use AstroImageBrowser offline, and more.
Other features include colorization of DSS images with color schemes under user control or choose from presets such as inverse and sepia, over 13,000 internal database objects in the NGC, IC and Messier catalogs, RA/Dec coordinate specification to arbitrarily position DSS images, RA/Dec grid overlay with color control and control over major and minor spacing of grid lines, and much more.
AstroImageBrowser also allows users to overlay CCD/DSLR/webcam geometry with support for SBIG CCD Cameras, Canon 10D 300D 350D 20D, 1.25" eyepiece with maximum 27mm field stop, 35mm film, 2" eyepiece with maximum 46mm field stop, Starlight Xpress SXV-H9C, ToUCam Pro webcam, Meade LPI, Meade DSI Pro, etc. Users can also adjust CCD/DSLR/webcam offset and rotation controls, and telescope system focal length control with automatic image dimensioning.
Other features of this software include a customizable toolbar, search and control retractable drawer, multithreaded processing especially during downloading and saving, overlay graphics using vector graphics with no resolution limit, picture overlay using either drag and drop image from the Finder or by entering a URL, and more. Users can even save and open "Picture Archive" overlay files with either image data embedded or specified by a URL, and blink the opacity of Picture overlay for easy registration with DSS image.
All in all, if you're interested in astronomy, AstroImageBrowser is a fantastic software that is both helpful and fun to use.
