Observatory at Mac App Store analyse

Observatory is the image management application specifically designed for astrophotography. Organize your images with tags, albums and smart albums. Create master bias, dark and flat frames. Calibrate, register, stack and adjust your images, all nondestructively, and without creating any intermediate files or accidentally modifying your master images. Its integration reports provide a quick summary of all exposures for a given target. Add notes, plate solve, and automatically tag your images to identify galaxies, clusters, nebula, variable stars, exoplanet host stars, planets, dwarf planets, minor planets and comets. Observatory even lets you find and download research images from professional ground-based observatories and space telescopes. With Observatory, your Mac also gains the ability to display thumbnails and previews of astronomical FITS, XISF and SBIG images in Finder and other applications. It shows you metadata and FITS headers in the previews and for plate solved images includes the scale and image orientation. And it helps Spotlight index the right metadata, so you can quickly find your images. STANDARD FEATURES • Quick Look & Spotlight plugins for FITS, XISF and SBIG images. • Plate solver. • Overlays and object information from a catalog of 60 million stars, 500,000 minor planets, and a million other astronomical objects. • Watched folders for keeping your libraries in sync with the file system, automatically importing images, creating albums and stacks. • Create as many libraries as you wish and keep your images organized without copying, moving or altering the master images. • A nondestructive preprocessing workflow without the hassle of intermediate files. ⁃ Calibration ⁃ Cosmetic Correction ⁃ Binning ⁃ Debayering ⁃ Background Neutralization ⁃ Color Balance ⁃ Flatten Background ⁃ Chromatic Align ⁃ Register ⁃ Normalize ⁃ Stack ⁃ Resize ⁃ Rotate - Mirror - Flip ⁃ Crop • Virtual Observatory: find and download research images from professional ground-based observatories and space telescopes. ⁃ European Southern Observatory ⁃ W.
