First Light Optics is an authorized MSB Software dealer for AstroArt 5.0

Astroart 5.0 is a complete astro-imaging package for camera control, image stacking, image processing, photometry and astrometry for digital and film images.

All major CCD cameras, telescopes, filter wheels, and focusers are supported. New drivers are released almost every month.

Price includes:

• Complete Astroart software on CD-ROM, CCD drivers, manual, several pictures for the image processing tutorials
  
• 12 months of free upgrades. This means your purchase is protected if a new major version is released within one year
  
• You have the right to use Astroart on several PC's if you don't use them at the same time (example: desktop at home, notebook outdoor)
• Two years of technical assistance by email and phone. Program in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.
• Printed 140-page instruction book
  

Advanced filters: Adaptive low pass, Maximum entropy deconvolution, Larson Sekanina, hot pixel removal, unsharp mask, remove gradient, deblooming, DDP, FFT, etc, with full preview.

Astrometry and photometry: With integrated star atlas, GSC included, USNO and UCAC supported. MPC reports, aperture photometry, batch photometry, estimation of measuring errors, plate solving and MPCORB minor planets.

Image stacking: Automatic on sets of images with sub-pixel precision. Five algorithms (star patterns, one star, two stars, planet, correlation), drizzle, colour synthesis and batch processing.

Colour imaging: Native 96 bit, visualized in real time without modifying the underlying data. Quadrichromy LRGB and WCMY with L.A.B. conversion. Colour balance, colour curves and adaptive saturation.

High speed: Astroart is extremely fast thanks to its code being optimized in SSE assembly. Fully compatible with Windows 7 to Windows 2000.

What is new in V5?

All functions have been improved or rewritten from scratch.
 
Autoalignment: New algorithm based on star patterns, corrects rotation and translation on grayscale and colour images.
 
Preprocessing: Fully rewritten, with many new features to automatically align and stack images.
 
Filters:  All filters have been rewritten and now give better results in less time.
 
Curves: For realtime visualization, histogram stretch and tone mapping.
 
Plate solving: For astrometry and automatic centering of the telescope after a GOTO.
 
New commands: Cosmetic filters (compress stars, remove lines, etc.), gradient removal, histogram stretch, adaptive saturation, batch photometry and reticle.
 
More speed: Thanks to SSE/SSE2 instructions up to 4 pixels are processed at once.
 

Astroart is an open system with plug-in support. All programmers of C, C++, Pascal can create new filters using the free development kit.
