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.

This package provides shared libraries to interface Pascal program with standard astronomy libraries:

• libpasgetdss.so: Interface with GetDSS to work with DSS images.

• libpasplan404.so: Interface with Plan404 to compute planets position.

• libpaswcs.so: Interface with libwcs to work with FITS WCS.

• libpasspice.so: To work with NAIF/SPICE kernel.

astroterm is a terminal-based star map written in C. It displays the real-time positions of stars, planets, constellations, and more, all within your terminal - no telescope required!

PyERFA is the Python wrapper for the ERFA library (Essential Routines for Fundamental Astronomy), a C library containing key algorithms for astronomy, which is based on the SOFA library published by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). All C routines are wrapped as Numpy universal functions, so that they can be called with scalar or array inputs.

This simulation program lets you explore our universe in three dimensions. Celestia simulates many different types of celestial objects. From planets and moons to star clusters and galaxies, you can visit every object in the expandable database and view it from any point in space and time. The position and movement of solar system objects is calculated accurately in real time at any rate desired.

Xplanet renders an image of a planet into an X window or file. All of the major planets and most satellites can be drawn and different map projections are also supported, including azimuthal, hemisphere, Lambert, Mercator, Mollweide, Peters, polyconic, orthographic and rectangular.

Orbital is a high level orbital mechanics package for Python.

pyregion is a python module to parse ds9 region files. It also supports ciao region files. Features:

• ds9 and ciao region files.

• (physical, WCS) coordinate conversion to the image coordinate.

• convert regions to matplotlib patches.

• convert regions to spatial filter (i.e., generate mask images)

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.

The concept of the pvextractor package is simple - given a path defined in sky coordinates, and a spectral cube, extract a slice of the cube along that path, and along the spectral axis, producing a position-velocity or position-frequency slice.

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.

Python library doing sunrise and sunset time calculation. Takes a WGS84 (GPS) latitude/longitude as input as well as an UTC or local datetime object.

This package provides a Python module to various STScI image array manipulation functions.

Stackistry implements the lucky imaging principle of astronomical imaging: creating a high-quality still image out of a series of many (possibly thousands) low quality ones (blurred, deformed, noisy). The resulting image stack typically requires post-processing, including sharpening (e.g. via deconvolution). Such post-processing is not performed by Stackistry.

• cutout post-processing functionality, including centering cutouts along a path (for moving targets) and combining cutouts
