INDIGO A1

INDIGO A1 is a versatile graphical user interface designed for use with both external and built-in INDIGO servers. Developed to be truly multiplatform, it is compatible with macOS, iPadOS (operating without the built-in server feature), and iOS (excluding the built-in server functionality and subject to additional limitations). This wide-ranging compatibility ensures that users can manage and interact with the INDIGO server across various devices, enhancing accessibility and user experience in astronomical software management. The software offers comprehensive control over image capture, guiding, and mount operation, facilitating seamless astronomical photography sessions. With its intuitive interface, users can effortlessly adjust exposure settings, capture multiple frames, and execute precise image stacking for optimal results. It integrates advanced guiding functionalities, enabling users to maintain accurate tracking of celestial objects over extended periods, crucial for capturing long-exposure images. Control over telescope mounts and auxiliary devices such as focusers and filter wheels is streamlined, allowing for precise adjustments and automated sequences tailored to specific imaging goals. Plate solving capabilities within the software swiftly analyze captured images, accurately identifying celestial objects and providing precise coordinates for precise targeting and framing. Advanced scripting and automation features empower users to create custom workflows and sequences, automating repetitive tasks and maximizing efficiency during imaging sessions. Real-time monitoring and feedback mechanisms provide users with crucial information on equipment status, guiding accuracy, and imaging progress, enabling timely adjustments for optimal results. Whether deployed on a single computer or in distributed setups across multiple devices, the software synchronizes seamlessly, ensuring consistent performance and data integrity. Its compatibility with various astrophotography equipment brands and models enhances versatility, catering to the diverse needs of amateur and professional astronomers alike. Regular updates and community-driven support channels ensure ongoing development and enhancement, keeping the software at the forefront of astrophotography technology and meeting the evolving needs of enthusiasts and professionals. INDIGO A1 replaces retired INDIGO D1, AstroImager, AstroDSLR, AstroGuider, AstroTelescope and INDIGO Server products.
