CCDAutoPilot Version 4.0 provides astrophotographers the
tools and capabilities needed to optimize the imaging system and fully automate the image acquisition over the course of the evening. With the tools and utilities provided, CCDAutoPilot 4.0 moves from an automation program to an imaging platform, providing you with everything you need for successful imaging.
See the introduction tutorial below for more detail.
CCDAutoPilot is easy to install and setup so
you can get up and running quickly. The intuitive interface
works the way you do, logically stepping you through the process
to create an evening's imaging session with no scripting
required.
Automatic Measurement Tools
CCDAutoPilot 4.0 includes automated tools to measure your camera's gain and read noise, your sky glow and color combine ratio (G2V ratio), all at the click of a button. With the Professional edition, your extinction-corrected combine ratio is calculated for you automatically. You can characterize your camera system's performance to determine your minimum sub-exposure, number of darks and operating temperature.
Flexible, Powerful Target Management
Selecting, framing and managing your targets
are done interactively with tight integration with TheSky6 giving
you real-time feedback to plan complex imaging sequences
either connected to your imaging system or working off-line
during the day.
Multiple Targets and Mosaics
CCDAutoPilot 4.0 Professional adds new
multi-target and mosaic capabilities perfect for unlimited
targets for astrophotography and survey work. With its powerful
importers, you can easily create target lists from a wide
variety of applications. Complex Mosaics are achieved with one
click, providing anyone the ability to take wonderful wide field
images with very narrow field equipment.
