Software Tools
Software plays a major role in modern astrophotography, from target planning and image acquisition to calibration, processing, and equipment evaluation.
This page serves as a hub for two curated software collections that I use in that workflow.
The first is a growing set of web-based astronomy utilities that I have written myself. These are practical browser-based tools built to help with real-world astrophotography tasks.
The second is a curated list of third-party software tools that I use regularly for planning, imaging, automation, processing, analysis, and observatory operation.
