DepAstroCCD an original astrometric tool

Abstract

A complex software for preparation and treatment of astro photographic plates and double-star observations recorded with CCD cameras is developed. The preparation interface contains a catalogue base for the choice of observation objects and an interface for bringing into accordance the telescope and CCD camera performance with the assumptions of the postprocessor interface. The processing is based on the original development of image gradient removing software and classical FFT method and autocorrelation. The software has been tested on several theoretical and real images of double stars.
