Solar Eclipse Maestro is the most versatile and feature-rich application for solar eclipses. It can handle any solar eclipse, provide you Baily’s beads preview and animation, simulate an all-sky view or weather statistics, and a lot more.

Growing number of applications to be used with mobile devices pertaining subjects such as Aeronautics, ISS & Space Shuttle, Solar System exploration, Universe and Earth.

UniMap is a free/opensource astronomy software which I mainly developed to do the plate-solving (automated detection and sky catalog matching) for astrophotography - see how detection works.

This program for Windows simulates the collision of two galaxies. Each galaxy has its mass, number of stars, and orientation set by the user. The collision is viewed in two windows, an X-Y, and X-Z view. The facility exists to view the collision from any desired view point via a 3D spatial viewer. The initial conditions of the collision can be saved to file for re-running at a later date. A full help file is provided giving instructions and tips.

Extremly small tool (20KByte) to make bulb exposures with Canon EOS cameras over serial cable including mirror locking and dithering with PHD.

Flash animations and simulations for astronomy education. Topics include seasons, moon phases, coordinate systems, light, and more.

PicGoto,Picgoto++ systems are designed for the control of Equatorial Mounts and  recently Alt-Azimutals mounts too . This is based on accurate, configurable, microstepping  control  speed and  position, in RightAscension/Azimuth and Declination/Altitude , of any equatorial or alt-azimutal  mount equipped with stepper motors.Fully configurable for different motor step sizes and gear reductions.
