I realised that people will have multiple uses for such an engine so I've added in (again on the file menu) a random generator, as well as given objects on the main page the ability to have randomised parameters assigned. About k1 and k2, setting them manually is used only for instrumental magnitude. If a precision of 0.3 arcseconds is sufficient, you may just use plate solving for astrometry.

Try both the automatic and manual procedure. I'll be posting on the website the results and conclusions I came to a little closer to the launch but it's all there. I suggest to start with Tutorial 9 with the M57 image (you don't need to create a Sum). I have included in the File menu an option to auto-load our Solar System for people to gauge the accuracy whilst the colouring is a little off to do an incomplete chemical list, the statistics derived are all pretty accurate. Just downloaded this fits version of that original image. 1 day ago Matt Bateman posted a comment on discussion General discussions ASTAP. Please feel free to leave comments either here or on the youtube page but for now, Enjoy! Just attach an original Nina file to this forum. Any feedback, general questions or ideas for future development would be highly, highly appreciated. The program I've made is not commercial - The released version will remain as a 'beta' product, free for download from from the 2nd of April 2013 but for now, I have created a teaser trailer which I am hoping will inspire others to download and share the program, as well as create their own videos, for those whom space related learning is an interest. with some of our products do not hesitate to contact us on or users group forum.

The source code of the wrapper and embedded server is available on GitHub.

My desire to create such a program was born from amateur star gazing as well as a general fascination of Physics as a discipline that said, I am very much a computer software developer so decided to marry the two concepts to create something I hope to be unique and future developable. The astrometry engine is based on 0.84 and cfitsio 3.450.
To give a little information, I have recently finished my MRes Computer Science project whereby I attempted to create a program suitable for educational purposes, applying many real-world Physics formulae to create a visually representative real-time simulation of a Solar System.
