Software

I have been using MaximDL since early 2005, and starting in early 2006 I have been investigating using VB to create plugins to perform helpful tasks related to image acquisition or image processing.

The plugins I've written are all available for free download from my MaximDL page.

In December 2006 I tried out the trial version of ACP, an observatory automation package from DC3 Dreams.
This was a milestone in my imaging process, I could now image multiple targets per night at their optimum times, with automatic guiding and focus control.

In addition, the open nature of the ACP architecture allows a developer to use the automation interface to easily build complex applications using the features exposed from ACP.

The applications I've written using ACP are also available for free download from my ACP page.

Any applications not directly linked to MaximDL or ACP are available on the Miscellaneous development page.
