Fedora Astronomy proposed packages

This is list of packages proposed to be included in Fedora.

If you are interested in helping and want to package any of them, feel free to do so. Have no experience with RPM packaging? No problem, just drop a message to the mailing list and we'll mentor you!

Don't forget to move the entry to UnderReview once you submit a review.

When adding a package, please double-check packages already in Fedora and refused packages first.

You're encouraged to add a note to the table below if you'll really appreciate some particular package in Fedora. We'll use it when deciding what to package next!

Package name Description Packager Note
astrobuffer AstroBuffer is a CCD astrophotography image manipulation application. - Next version will be out by end of next month
astroguider Astroguider analyzes the picture taken by a Webcam (or any other camera), and follows an object (e.g. a star). None Needs patching
+AstroMD A Multi Dimensional visualization and analysis toolkit for astrophysics. None
+ audela Audela is a free and open source astronomy software intended for digital observations (guider) None Hard one
AVSOMAT A small utility to automate the reduction of variable stars. None
+ Cartes du Ciel/SkyChart A software to draw chart of the night sky for the amateur astronomer from a bunch of stars and nebulae catalogs. LubomirRintel Ready to review, pending lazarus fix for fpc-2.2.2
Chicam chicam is a small suite of command line utilities to process frames from webcams or digital SLRs. None
einstein Einstein@GNOME is a GNOME panel applet that lets you participate in the Einstein@Home neutron star search. DebarshiRay
+ ESO-MIDAS The ESO-MIDAS system provides general tools for image processing and data reduction. SergioPascual Testing a first version of the package.
Indi INDI is a distributed control protocol designed to operate astronomical instrumentation. HuzaifaSidhpurwala
MarsMOLA The Mars Orbiter Laser Alitimeter experiment carried on the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft produced a topographic map of the entire surface of Mars. None
NightView The NightView is a software package to control of the SBIG's CCD cameras under Linux. It provides full iterative or batch control of a camera and a filter wheel. It is developed on Monte Boo observatory as a main control software of our camera and telescope. The develop is under GPL so a source code is open for possible changes. LubomirRintel
Nova Nova is a free integrated observational environment for amateur astronomers. It's aim is to combine ephemeris, sky view, observatory control and basic image capture functionality into an easy to use Gnome application. None
OrbitViewer OrbitViewer is an interactive applet that displays the orbit of small bodies (comets or asteroids) in the solar system in 3D None
PartView Partiview is free, open-source software from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. None
PP3 PP3 creates celestial charts. It generates resolution independent maps of very high graphical quality. They can be used for example as illustrations in books or on web pages. You may use own databases or free ones from the Internet. None
PyIraf Python interface to Iraf (but Iraf isn't free for the moment). SergioPascual Packaged, but unusable without Iraf
PyMidas Python interface to Midas None
Qastrocam Qastrocam is a capture program that can work with any video4linux device. Its main purpose is to do astrophotography. None
radial This program calculates the radial velocities of both stars in a binary system None
s4l Mel Bartels SCOPE telescope stepper controller program None
savi SaVi is software written to facilitate the visualization and analysis None
+ shiny SBIG cameras control None
SImg SImg is a software mainly developed for astronomical image processing. None
SkyDome SkyDome is a starmap including the radio sky with an original user interface. None
skyviewer OpenGL based program to display HEALPix -based skymaps None
Starbase Data Tables an ASCII relational database for UNIX. None
Starlink Starlink is a collection of software packages used by many astronomers. All GPL'ed, but a mess to package up. None'
wcslib An implementation of the FITS WCS standard None
coriander Coriander is the Linux graphical user interface (GUI) for controlling a Digital Camera through the IEEE1394 bus (aka FireWire, or iLink). None
+ corrida Meteorites archiver. None
SkyViewer SkyViewer is an OpenGL-based program written by Nicholas Phillips to display HEALPix-based sky maps from FITS format files. The program will display sky maps on a 3D sphere or a 2D Mollweide projection. Real time panning and zooming are supported, as are rotations of the 3D sphere (if you have a fast graphics card). None
planets3d The purpose of Planets 3D is to show a simulation of our solar system. The focus lies on a nice graphic (3D OpenGL) and the possibility to modify the objects of the solar system to see what happens. None
xplns Xplns reproduces real starry sky on your display of X Window System. It calculates the position of many celestial objects (stars, galaxies, nebulae, constellations, planets, comets, etc.) very accurately. You can enjoy the past and future sky on the desk top as if you have traveled all around the world. In solar system projection mode, you can examine motion of solar objects. None
galaxy ... None
low predict PREDICT is an open-source, multi-user satellite tracking and orbital prediction program written under the Linux operating system by John A. Magliacane, KD2BD. None
starcats A Star Catalog visualization and data record retrieval tool. None
