Log and compare your visual astronomical observations

This python package allows the user to retrieve the wavefront aberrations in an optical system using the powerful tool of Phase Diversity, and use the PSF (MTF) to restore aberrated data.

Astronomical observatory control system

The Herschel Extrgalactic Legacy Project enables studies of galaxy formation and evolution by bringing together astronomical survey data sets from many observatories and telescopes and adding scientific value to these.

Jupyter Notebooks for HST STIS observation planning and data analysis

Python version of the FluxCompensator described in Koepferl & Robitaille (ApJ, 2017)

A modified version of rDUINOScope that works with Adafruit 3.5" 320X480 TFT SPI mode. It uses SdFat Library Together with a modified version of the marekburiak-ILI9341_due Library, Updated to the latest firmware version V_2.3.1.

POLIS - Public Observatory Location and Information Service

A modified version of rDUINOScope that works with Nextion 5" Enhanced TFT, Updated to the latest firmware version Boiana-EQ V_2.3.1.

Python library for parsing and validating the format and values of VDIF headers

Fast matrix-based visibility simulator

PANOTPES Observatory Control Software for a telescope build using a moxa UC-8112A-ME series arm processor.

Goto Telescope with Raspberry PI HQ Camera and exchangable Objective Holders for DSLR Objectives

This project focuses on simulating and controlling a 2-DOF (degrees of freedom) telescope mount for astronomical observations and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite tracking. The project utilizes a dynamic model of the telescope, applying adaptive PID control optimized by genetic algorithms to achieve precise positioning for tracking purposes.

C library for parsing and manipulating VDIF or CODIF data streams and files

An automated pipeline to identify interesting transients from the Transient Name Server (TNS) and request observations of them with the Liverpool Telescope and its MOPTOP instrument for the PEPPER Survey.

A mockup of the operational scripts onboard the JWST

Source code and operating manual for a system that uses the Earth’s gravity to point telescopes at stars. It works on PushTo or GoTo equatorial mounts - uses an Android mobile phone App and a couple of stick-on sensors - cost is about AU$100 - assembly time is about half an hour using scissors and a screwdriver.
