C: GCX Astro-Image Processor
Summary:
C: Process astronomical images and control CCDs
Description:
C: |-
<p>Gcx is an astronomical image processing and data reduction tool, with an easy to use graphical user
interface. It provides a complete set of data reduction functions for CCD photometry, with frame WCS
fitting, automatic star identification, aperture photometry of target and standard stars, single-frame
ensemble photometry solution finding, multi-frame color coefficient fitting, extinction coefficient fitting,
and all-sky photometry; as well as general-purpose astronomical image processing functions (bias, dark,
flat, frame alignment and stacking); It can function as a FITS viewer. The program can control CCD cameras
and telescopes, and implement automatic observation scripting. Cameras are controlled through a hardware-specific
server, to which gcx connects through a TCP socket. It generates FITS files with comprehensive header
information.</p>
