Open Source Delphi/Kylix Astronomy Software

Welcome to the semi professional free planetarium program HNSKY for MS-Windows and Linux. This program can control your telescope via the ASCOM or INDI interface, has a comprehensive up to date deep sky database with 30.000 objects and detailed descriptions. A star database with millions of stars and hundreds of Deep Sky Survey images which blends in accurately. Additional the program can access the online version of the Deep Sky Survey allowing online update of the asteroid and comet databases and it can search on-line in professional astronomical databases. Is provided with menu's in 22 languages and it is totally free without any advertisement or restriction!! Free with 30.000 deep sky objects and native star databases up to magnitude 18. Online access to GAIA DR2, UCAC4, NOMAD and PPMXL star catalogues or download the USNO UCAC4 up to magnitude 16. The Sun, Moon, the planets and their major moons are all displayed with surface features. It maps the position of co

SysTools is a library of utility routines & classes for Borland Delphi, C++Builder, & environments that support COM. It includes 1-D & 2-D bar codes, sorting, money routines, logging, high-precision math, a run-time math expression analyzer, & much more.

Lucy-Richardson and Wiener deconvolution. FFT contrasting/denoising. Uses Astrometry.net to platesolve images. Includes Bright Star Catalogue up to mag. 5 and Tycho 2 Catalogue up to mag. 12 allowing for Star B-V color data for color balancing plate solved images. Interfaces with ASCOM, G'MIC and Starnet++. Macros. EAA. Win>=7 and Linux+Wine>=7.

cmdline (used by Image16) and ui interfaces to ANSVR astrophotography plate solving images (FITS, TIFF, PNG, JPG, PXM, RAW and XCF) are submitted to ANSVR astrometry engine producing a text file with the plate solving result and a .png plot file TIFF, PXM, RAW and XCF files are converted to FITS by the cmdline utility all files are loaded and converted to FITS by the ui utility

Spectroheliograph like Sol'Ex captured SER videos processing with simultaneous extraction and processing of main line image, subtracting image (for Helium), main2 image (for Doppler) and reference image for geometric processing of main image. Saves resulting images (main and reference) in FITS and XCF formats. Separate delta positions from baseline fitted curve for all lines (main, main2/subtractive and reference). Correction of inclination and size ratio of images. Doppler color image creation from adjoining lines (main1/main2). Transversalium correction. Glare reduction. Opens resulting images on Image16 for further processing.

Astrophotography capture using ASCOM interfaces with mount and camera devices and interfaces with PHD2 for guiding and dithering. Database for search of DSO objects, Sun, Moon, planets, minor planets and comets. Image platesolving using ANSVR, local astrometry under WSL or astrometry.net site.

I can not find a simple graphical rutin to draw a geographic sphere with geo-coordinate grid on the Canvas. I need to move , rotete this globe and change the eye point. And an other function to get a geographic coordinates from mouse position.

This program calculates approaching solar eclipses. For this purpose, it calculates the positions of sun, moon, mercury and venus in the horizontal coordinate system. These values can be visualized and exported in many common formats.

As an amateur astrophotographer, I like to use a small laptop to control my gear, the problem is that a standard display will ruin your acquired night vision. This program turns (temporarily) everything red to minimize the impact of the display on your night vision. You may want to install a red cursor scheme, one is included (from Oxygen Cursors by LAvalon in GPL 3.0) in the source distribution.

SoundStepper is a "100% software" telescope controller, for Windows, using audio hardware to control step motors at real time. All it requires to operate are external step motor drives, which can be a commercial "pulse/direction" drive or analog current amplifiers. Documentation: http://soundstepper.sourceforge.net/

An astronomical Open source Delphi project for : robotic telescope, autoguiding, astrophotography and advanced astronomical image processing. It is developing continuously by author. Some other astronomical test, ideas and source code => See my site for new informations (for amateur and Delphi programmers.) New: STAFImage : image process and blinkcomparator for astrophotographer Some other astronomical test, ideas and source code => See my site for new informations (for amateur and Delphi programers.)

This is a Delphi/Pascal class that implements a realistic simulator of planetary systems. You can design your own solar system, create custom planets or other objects and establish their gravitational relations using groups. See demos for Windows using OpenGL.
