Through a cooperative effort involving Software Bisque, NASA, The Mount Wilson Observatory Institute, Pasadena, California and the Telescope support is provided for a number of different types of instruments. With TheSky, SkyPro and the Remote Astronomy Software, a user can directly control computer-driven telescopes and CCD cameras TheSky and SkyPro work in tandem to orchestrate locating, identifying, and acquiring images of deep sky objects. The companion SkyPro CCD Astronomy Software is a Windows-based image processing program that also controls CCD (charge coupled device) cameras, transforming raw CCD data into imagery and extracting hidden information.

As shown above, theĪstronomer can use a mouse to zoom in on any zone of the view presented. Dozens of commands make it easy to locate any area of the sky the software presents a wide angle view that identifies each constellation and bright object.

With TheSky, amateur and professional astronomers can quickly plot any of the Hubble data onto the computer screen. The programs were developed by Software Bisque, Golden, Colorado with NASA input, in particular the 19-million-object database compiled for the Hubble Space Telescope. Theįamily includes, in addition to TheSky, the SkyPro image processing program and the Remote Astronomy Software for running a telescope and imaging system. TheSky is part of a software family that incorporates NASA astronomy technology developed for the Hubble Space Telescope. In the accompanying photos are a new astronomy software package called TheSky and a sample chart view generated by the program.
