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 added from Pixinsight CSV exports from SubFrameSelector process.

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. Check the documentation here: Documentation
