Mission Control

A Windows imaging suite for the night — and the place where the people who run it share what they catch. Capture under your own sky, post it to ours.

Two halves of one craft

Capture the night. Share the beauty.

In The Field

The Windows app

A single binary that talks to your mount, camera, filter wheel and guider — plans the night, captures the frames, solves the plates, stacks the result and processes the image, without a second tool in the loop.

  • Scripted multi-target, multi-filter sessions
  • Local plate solver and reliable autoguiding
  • Full bit-depth stacking and processing pipeline

▣ Capture & Process

Everything from first slew to final stretch.

⌖

Mission Control

Plan multi-target, multi-filter imaging sessions with slew-and-solve, guiding, capture and parking — all scripted and repeatable.

✦

Charting

Real-time, high resolution sky charts with deep-sky catalogues, ISS tracking, comets and minor planets — and your own processed images.

◐

Tonight

Browse what's observable from your location tonight, filtered by object type, catalogue, magnitude and elevation.

⊕

Plate solving & guiding

A built-in local plate solver with fast, reliable autoguiding — no external services, no per-frame round-trips.

≣

Multi-channel stacking

Stack frames from multi-filter sessions, re-register the result for pixel-perfect full-colour composites.

◊

Full bit-depth processing

Noise reduction, background extraction, wavelet sharpening and other high-quality algorithms in a fast, opinionated workflow.

◐ Share & Connect

A community built around the work, not the algorithm.

Bring it down. Send it back up.

The installer for the Windows suite is on the left. The community is on the right. Take both.
