INDIGO Control Panel, the standalone control panel,. INDIGO Server, the standalone server for building distributed systems,. INDIGO A1, all in one application containing AstroImager, AstroGuider and AstroTelescope in a single bundle with a single embeded server. AstroGuider, the application for controlling the guider camera and guider port of the mount and the front end for "Guider Agent" and. AstroTelescope, the application for controlling the dome and the mount and the front end for "Mount Agent",. AstroDSLR, a very similar application, but intended specifically for tethering DSLRs and another front end for "Imager Agent",. AstroImager, the application for controlling the main camera and the associated filter wheels, focusers and the front end for "Imager Agent",. There are five core applications and a couple of utility applications in our suite. The disadvantage is that you need to understand how the applications work to configure them to talk to each other properly. The major advantage is that you can select just tools you really need and use them only when you really need. This approach has some advantages and some drawbacks. Unlike the other similar systems, our suite is not a single monolithic application, we use standalone loosely coupled applications instead. We left the traditional client server approach and switched to multi-tier agent based architecture allowing even higher performance and reliability.Ĭore and utility applications of astrophotography suite
In the latest generation we made so far the most radical change. Later we focused on the performance and reliability and transferred the whole development to INDIGO framework.
Astrodslr rebel xti drivers#
AstroDSLR Getting started with the INDIGO agents based backyard astrophotography application suiteĪbout eight years ago we started to develop a software with the idea to make Apple macOS and iOS the first class platforms for backyard astrophotography.Īt the beginning, the most important task was to add as many hardware drivers as possible.
