AstroDom

Astro(nomy) Dom(ine) is a catalogue tool for deep sky images. It scans the directories where images (FITS format only) are stored and reads information from FITS headers. Additional parameter like FWHM, Eccentricity, Noise can be imported from Pixinsight CSV export from SubFrameSelector. The catalogue can be used to keep track of your imaging sessions and to benchmark your images. With the Charts tool you can discover important information about your data, e.g.:

  • How much Alt affects FWHM
  • Which night had the best seeing conditions
  • Where in the sky (Alt, Az) the guiding is best / worse.
  • How many hours for each filter

AstroDom was tested with FITS files written by MaximDL (v4 and v6), Ekos/INDI, SGP but any other software is supported through custom profiles.

Basic configuration workflow

After Installation you can have a look at a demo database of images or build your own following these steps:

  1. Check that your software FITS keywords are matched with AstroDom's (here)
  2. Fix unmatched FITS keyword and default values (here)
  3. Import FITS file from any directory on your PC (here)
  4. Optionally add information about FWHM, Eccentricity, Noise and SNR (here)

Thats'it, you can now browse through your images.
