Page 1 of 7 - Astrophotography on the Mac - posted in Astronomy Software & Computers: I started a website some time ago for Mac users who are into Astrophotography. Its called the Mac Observatory. Im not in it for any money, but would like for some people to take a look to see if Ive missed anything in the software section that might be useful to others on the Mac.

Software Bisque announces its long-anticipated Camera Add On to TheSkyX Professional Edition ($199). The component allows users to control two cameras simultaneously, one for imaging and the other for autoguiding on PC or Mac platforms. This includes all Canon, SBIG, QSI, and Orion cameras, as well as certain video cameras. Sequence your entire night of imaging and reduce your data with flat frames, darks, and biases all within the program. TheSkyX Pro Camera Add On also enables you to perform automated focus with supported electric focusers, and can also control a host of additional ASCOM-compatible products.

TheSkyX is a very powerful and popular astronomical telescope support software that contains an array of tools for advanced or amateur astronomers. It can simulate the starry sky in real time, adjust the time or location at random to see different sky scenes. Plus, it is capable of simulating all sorts of motion of the celestial bodies, as well as the astronomical wonders such like solar eclipse and lunar eclipse.

TheSkyX equips with fully functional tools, which can not only extend your understanding to the basic knowledge of astronomy, also meet your pursuit to the astronomical exploration in depth and breadth. For example, you can use it to learn the constellation, to watch the movement locus of stars (the time span can be from a few days to a few centuries), or direct utilize it to watch the solar eclipse and lunar eclipse phenomenons, and to take a look at the detailed picture of some mythical characters in the sky. In particular, TheSkyX also allows you to control many popular astronomical telescopes and digital cameras to take photographs or video recordings. In addition, it also provides star map and star catalog data to guide users to look across the sky.

TheSkyX is really a very excellent and popular astronomy software. If you’ve often been plagued by this case – when shooting an astronomical picture, you just can’t put the target in the middle of the field of view in order to make an precise composition of the picture. Then, after learning to use TheSkyX (especially its equatorial telescope control and camera capture), everything seems to become much simpler and more efficient.
