libnova is a general purpose, double precision, celestial mechanics, astrometry and astrodynamics library.

Java based astronomical logging software which stores it's data in a free and open XML based format (OpenAstronomyLog). Discontinued project: Please check out the fork: https://github.com/capape/observation-manager for an updated version

Aciqra is a virtual planetarium and sky mapping program which tracks celestial bodies including planets, deep sky objects and stars to an accuracy of a fraction of a degree for thousands of years into both the future and the past. It includes the 2.5 million stars of the Tycho-2 catalog supplemented by data of 120,000 stars from the Hipparcos catalog, 13,000 deep space objects from the NGC and IC catalogs and a large number of asteroids and comets from the Minor Planet Center. The program is platform-independent and can be made to work on most modern computers that support OpenGL.

JOSAST ( Java Open Source Amateur Satellite Toolkit) is a set of java source code used for amateur satellite, hamradio and also astronomia activities ... Reusable package and complete software should be available.

Project to calculate and distribute the general relativistic corrections to clock rates for the surfaces of various solar system bodies. These corrections are also known as time ephemerides.

DSPSR is a high-performance, object-oriented, digital signal processing library for radio pulsar astronomy. It implements an extensive range of algorithms and features, and can read data from most observatories, instruments, and file formats.

PSRCHIVE is an application suite and development library for use in the storage and analysis of pulsar astronomical data. It includes an extensive range of algorithms and tools commonly used in a wide variety of experiments.

Modern, nice software for astrologers. Contains different views of horoscope: classical chart, planets view and plain text. Provides detail information about each element of horoscope. Uses 9 house systems, over 40 aspects for horoscope calculation, tropical and sidereal sign and much more.

AstronomicalAlgorithms is a FREE portable ANSI C implementation of some of the algorithms published in Astronomical Algorithms by Jean Meeus (2nd edition, December 1998, Willmann-Bell ISBN 0943396638)

A simple command to convert calendar dates to julian dates. Quite useful in timing situations where you need elapsed time between dates. Also useful for astronomy applications.

MoonPlanner is a Java calendar that allow to view moon's phases, moon's signs (constellations in which the moon is), and show the part of the plant corresponding to each sign (flower, fruit, leaf or root). For every calendar's day the user can attach notes (that are stored in a persistent database). At the startup the program will remind you if there will be notes for current day. Timezones and localizations (En, IT) are supported by the application. This calendar is usable between 1900 and 2020. This tool can be useful to plan gardening tasks or to view some astrology informations. References and requirements: - JRE/JDK version 1.5 or later must be installed on host computer. - UI are made using SWT by Eclipse (see http://www.eclipse.org/swt/). - The software uses AstroLib library version 1.1.5 provided by Mark Huss to calculate Moon's phases (http://mhuss.com/AstroLib.html). - The software uses Apache Derby 10.9.1.0 (http://db.apache.org/derby/) as embedded database.

Parallel Iterative Deconvolution is a multithreaded ImageJ plugin for iterative image deblurring.

Ham's Actor is a software for radio hams. Is a bundle of many functions and tools, so you just have to have one software. Functions: Log Book, GrayLine, satellite tracing, contesting, maps, callbook, and so on...

OpenAstrology is Java based Object-orientated implementation of Astrology. OpenAstrology will provide a platfrom to plug-in in the knowledge of Astrology and the derived solution will be the best real time Astrology solution

SIGPROC - a collection of signal processing programs developed for pulsar data reduction has been developed and maintained since 1999. The package is used to search for and visualize the presence of pulsed signals in noisy radio astronomy data.

Parallel Spectral Deconvolution is a multithreaded ImageJ plugin for spectral image deblurring.

This library is used to calculate the position of a satellite or the moon on any geographical location on the earth's surface. The Library is writte in C++ and OOP. The Actual Status of the Library can download from the svn-repository. On my website oe5tpo.com can you find infos about satpos, but this infos are all in German!

BoPlanets is a virtual planetarium showing the planets relatively to any observing planet. The planets can be viewed in ecliptical-, equatorial- or horizontal view. The times of rise, transit and set of a planet can be determined. Click on the link below to the web site of BoPlanets to see the help file of BoPlanets.

VStar is a multi-platform, easy-to-use variable star observation visualisation and analysis tool. Data can be read from a file or the AAVSO database, light curves and phase plots created, period analysis performed, and filters applied. Plugins can be developed, e.g. to make additional observation sources available.
