Digital imaging has become an essential practice of astronomy, and virtually all astroimages are acquired by means of specialized CCD cameras or DSLR cameras. These devices require specialized software to properly control image acquisition, and the raw images require specialized processing to bring out the best image possible.PRISM is a multifunctional program that, while very powerful, is usable by all astroimagers from beginner to expert level of experience. It allows acquisition of images with virtually all of the imaging instruments currently available. It provides methods to analyze the images that are acquired and then to perform preprocessing, image combining, and final image processing all within one piece of software. This comprehensive capability of PRISM is its main advantage over using combinations of other software as it avoids incompatibilities.
PRISM, is :
-A complete skymap module allowing you to achieve efficient observations
-A complete full observatory control software (telescopes, filter wheel, focuser, dome, derotator, weather station, pointing model), this is performed either by native API or by ASCOM.
-Able to support a vast range of CCD cameras from different manufacturers, and it supports two cameras at the same time (the primary and the secondary guiding camera). Canon DSLR cameras are also controlled..
-Equipped with embedded powerful preprocessing functions, to remove all unwanted image artifacts from CCD cameras.
-Equipped with Integrated image processing functions allowing to get the best out of your images.
-Equipped with several image analysis functions such as plate solving, photometric data reduction, asteroid search and much more
-Able to support an automated observation module, that allows remote automation of your observations.
-Contains a complete script language that allows the user to create their own functions or to automate repetitive tasks
-A great value when you consider that the feature to price ratio is very low.
-An unique software product unmatched in the market.
