CalcMySky is a software package that simulates scattering of light by the atmosphere to render daytime and twilight skies (without stars). Its primary purpose is to enable realistic view of the sky in applications such as planetaria. Secondary objective is to make it possible to explore atmospheric effects such as glories, fogbows etc., as well as simulate unusual environments such as on Mars or an exoplanet orbiting a star with a non-solar spectrum of radiation.

This package consists of three parts:

• calcmysky utility that does the precomputation of the atmosphere model to enable rendering.

• libShowMySky library that lets the applications render the atmosphere model.

• ShowMySky preview GUI that makes it possible to preview the rendering of the atmosphere model and examine its properties.

The COde-independent Organized LEns STandard (COOLEST) defines a set of conventions to be shared across the strong lensing community, in order to consistently store, share and improve lens modeling analyses. In short, this project provides tools to manipulate lens models as a single, human-readable JSON template file alongside Python routines for visualizing and comparing lens models possibly obtained from different modeling codes.

CCfits is an object oriented interface to the cfitsio library. It is designed to make the capabilities of cfitsio available to programmers working in C++. It is written in ANSI C++ and implemented using the C++ Standard Library with namespaces, exception handling, and member template functions.

Gpredict is a real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction application. It can track a large number of satellites and display their position and other data in lists, tables, maps, and polar plots (radar view). Gpredict can also predict the time of future passes for a satellite, and provide you with detailed information about each pass.

Some core features of Gpredict include:

• Tracking of a large number of satellites only limited by the physical memory and processing power of the computer

• Display the tracking data in lists, maps, polar plots and any combination of these

• Have many modules open at the same either in a notebook or in their own windows. The modules can also run in full-screen mode

• You can use many ground stations

• Predict upcoming passes

• Gpredict can run in real-time, simulated real-time (fast forward and backward), and manual time control

• Detailed information both the real time and non-real time modes

• Doppler tuning of radios via Hamlib rigctld

• Antenna rotator control via Hamlib rotctld

Ginga is a toolkit designed for building viewers for scientific image data in Python, visualizing 2D pixel data in numpy arrays. It can view astronomical data such as contained in files based on the FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file format. It is written and is maintained by software engineers at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), and other contributing entities.

The Ginga toolkit centers around an image display object which supports zooming and panning, color and intensity mapping, a choice of several automatic cut levels algorithms and canvases for plotting scalable geometric forms. In addition to this widget, a general purpose "reference" FITS viewer is provided, based on a plugin framework. A fairly complete set of standard plugins are provided for features that we expect from a modern FITS viewer: panning and zooming windows, star catalog access, cuts, star pick/FWHM, thumbnails, etc.

Stellarium is a planetarium. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars, or a telescope. It can be used to control telescopes over a serial port for tracking celestial objects.

ImPPG performs Lucy-Richardson deconvolution, unsharp masking, brightness normalization and tone curve adjustment. It can also apply previously specified processing settings to multiple images. All operations are performed using 32-bit floating-point arithmetic.

Supported input formats: FITS, BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF (most of bit depths and compression methods), TGA and more. Images are processed in grayscale and can be saved as: BMP 8-bit; PNG 8-bit; TIFF 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit floating-point (no compression, LZW- or ZIP-compressed), FITS 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit floating-point.

SkyMaker is a program that simulates astronomical images. It accepts object lists in ASCII generated by the Stuff program to produce realistic astronomical fields. SkyMaker is part of the EFIGI development project.

uraniborg is a CLI visualization tool and star chart "engine" for the Augmented Tycho + HYG (AT-HYG) star catalog. The AT-HYG catalog consists of stars from the Tycho-2 star catalog, augmented with additional distance and velocity information from Gaia DR3, as well as the "classic" / historical information from the HYG catalog.

uraniborg lets you view the sky from both the solar system and from any star in the AT-HYG catalog with a known distance (over 2.5 million stars currently).

Base directory containing custom config, data, charts and fonts may be adjusted with command line option -b, by default set to store path.
