Resources currently sorted by:Date (New downloads listed first) MOP  | | Description: | MOP (Meteor Observation Project) - is a DOS-program to detect radio meteors utilizing FFT algorithm. All you need to run this program is a PC (Pentium cpu recommended) a SSB VHF receiver, a 8 or 16 bit soundcard and last but not least, a simple cable from your receiver to your soundcard.
The source code can also be downloaded from the site. | | | Version: | 1.11 | | Filesize: | 266.60 Kb | | Added on: | 15-Feb-2005 | | Downloads: | 536 | | Category: | DOS | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Globular Cluster | | Description: | This simple DOS program written in Turbo Pascal simulates globular clusters pictorially. The user specifies the number of stars that the cluster is to contain. The resulting simulation is then plotted out.

 SBIG Camera Control/Image Processing Software (DOS) | | Description: | SBIG offers several software packages supporting its various cameras on the PC, Macintosh and Windows platforms. The software titles are arranged on this page (click the title link above) according to operating system. These packages have image acquisition and image processing functions:
* CCD, CCDUTIL, CCDBLINK and CCDTRACKare DOS packages for the ST-4 only.
* CCDOPS for DOS supports the ST-4X, ST-5, ST-5C, ST-6 and parallel port based ST-7, ST-8, ST-9, ST-10, PixCel 255 and PixCel 237.
These files are the latest production release of the SBIG Camera Control and Image Processing Software. They read and display SBIG native image formats. These are full working copies and can be used for evaluation or to upgrade your existing software if you are using a previous version with an SBIG camera.

| GalaSimu | | Description: | Simulates interacting galaxies. Features:
- Parameters. Number of particles, particle distribution and all physical initial values can be modify.
- Rotating. The dynamical presentation of the interaction can rotate around all three axes from 1 up to 180 degree per keypress.
- Zooming. Zoom in and zoom out is possible in 4 percent steps.
- Scale and direction of axes always displayed.
- Colors. Colors of menu and the particle colors can be modify.
- Parametering of values. Up to 10 values can assign to each parameter.
- Pictures. Pictures can save as *.PCX files, colored or black&white, anytime a key is pressed.
- Sequence of pictures. GalaSimu can save up to 999 pictures through a simulation.

 Software by Mel Bartels | | Description: | Programs mostly related to Telescope Making. Applications offered include:
DIAGONAL: program, and code to analyze diagonal sizes, giving off-axis illumination profile and other data
RONCHI: program, and code to figure newtonian mirrors with a Ronchi grating
CONVERT: program, and code to convert between coordinate systems using the 2-star alignment method; runs in real-time
ATIME: program, and code to convert between astronomical times
PRECESS: program, and code to precess coordinates (converting between coordinate years)
32: program, and code to run the 32" equatorial telescope at Pine Mountain Observatory
foldref: program to calculate eyepiece height of folded reflectors
BAFFLE.BAS: BASIC program to calculate the dimensions of a baffle ring just below the focuser (this helps greatly in rejecting unwanted light from the focal plane)

| MAXCLOCK | | Description: | MAXCLOCK is a high-precision digital astronomical clock. It displays the following data on your computer screen:
- Civil date & time, day number in the year;
- Julian date and modified Julian date both in terms of ephemeris time ET (TT) and universal time UT1;
- Delta-T, the difference between ET and UT1;
- Mean solar time, apparent solar time, equation of time;
- Mean sidereal time, apparent sidereal time, equation of equinoxes;
- Geocentric ecliptical and equatorial coordinates of sun and moon;
- Constellation and zodiac sign for the sun;
- Constellation, zodiac sign, phase, appearance, and illuminated fraction of the moon;
- Elongation between sun and moon;
- Earth distance to sun and moon;
Coordinates may be referenced to mean dynamic equinox and ecliptic of date or to FK5, inclusion of nutation and/or aberration is freely selectable.
Time data are displayed for ITRF Greenwich zero meridian. Solar and sidereal times are also displayed for any other freely user-selectable location anywhere on planet earth, e.g. for your home observation site. | | | Version: | 3.1 | | Filesize: | 195.31 Kb | | Added on: | 04-Feb-2004 | | Downloads: | 743 | | Rating: | 10.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | DOS | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (1) | |
| KEPLER II | | Description: | Educational tool which simulates an astronomical observatory. It places at the disposal of the student the instruments with which he can remake the great discoveries of astronomy and thus acquire a scientific method.
Tools are split in three main categories:
The virtual observatory (observation post; celestial hemisphere; sights with a telescope)
Instruments of the astronomer (stick of Eratosthenes; the quadrant; camera; stop watch; micrometer; photometer; spectrograph; meridian circle; radius vector...)
Teaching aids (chart of the world; sky seen from two places; the Jovian system; Earth seen from space; the solar system; graphical almanac etc.)

| ASTRO | | Description: | Multipurpose software (ephemerides, planetarium...) written in QuickBASIC and best suited for altazimuthal / dobsonian telescope owners.
Coordinates conversion remains the most useful characteristic of ASTRO but not the only one. Other features (and they are far to many for us to describe all here) are geared toward the deep sky, reference stars, comets and asteroids etc.. | | | Filesize: | 0 bytes | | Added on: | 03-Dec-2003 | | Downloads: | 746 | | Rating: | 10.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | DOS | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (1) | |
| Planet Tracker | | Description: | Planet Tracker is built in three modules: 1) Animations of planetary motion along the ecliptic and against the background of the Zodiac stars; 2) Split-screen animations comparing five different frames of reference, allowing any two to be compared side-by-side - the five viewpoints are: the apparent dome of the sky for a fixed time of day, the zodiac as seen from the Earth, heliocentric solar system, geocentric solar system, and a special rotating frame of reference holding both the earth and sun stationary; 3) Worksheet generator for classrooms without computers - including the features: «Basic Worksheets» (produces heliocentric and geocentric orbit diagrams and time lines for any given starting date), «Zodiac Time Line» (for any day of the year project the planet positions on that date up to the ecliptic, which runs along the center of the star chart strip at the top of the page) and «Solar Time Line».
