I am currently writing a Database windows program in Visual Studios just for the Astrophotographer. I have all my tables up and running but still have a little bit to do yet. I want to make sure that it will run on 64bit OS. There really is not a lot out there in high end professional software just for the Astrophotograhper, and I have been using a excel book which I made up for my log book, but is cummbersome and dose not have enough scope.
I have been ill for awhile and stuck at home, so I decided to code one nice application dedicated just for the Astrophotographer. The program will have the targets information, magnitude, distance, photo etc..and the imaging sessions, including, frames, file type, Filters, Camera Temp, Exposure, Equipment and location and conditions.
It will also keep a data log of Photos of frames and final processed shots with appropriate fields for Calibration used, and Processing used.
This will take about 12 months to have it available to the public, after the programing, Formatting and a solid debbuging
I will release a demo as soon as it is up to scratch.
At this stage it will not have any features for control of camera's or mounts etc or a Planetarium. I would like to access any Astronomical Catalogues which proberbly will not be too hard to do at this stage, might add the others in another version.
