Konus Sky Explorer Software

Posted on by admin

May 10, 2017 It also comes with a moon and sky map and a CD-ROMs with the 'sky explorer' software. Product Dimensions: 9. Most of KONUS telescope include a free copy of the Windows based software “Sky Explorer”, which is a special version of the well-known planetarium software Perseus. This software will soon become a perfect companion. How to Update - posted in mySKY™Sky Explorer: Anyone have any idea on how to update mySKY. I just got mine and I dont seem to have any problems with it. It is locking onto GPS sats well, and hasnt had a problem IDing and seeking objects. Though I have had limited use with it the past week and a half.

Unleash your Inner Scientist™

Haven’t you always wanted to “do some science” with your telescope or standalone DSLR?

The science is easy and exciting. You can learn as you go with our tutorial videos.

With just a small telescope you can easily:

  • determine any star’s OBAFGKM star-type and temperature from its spectra curve.
  • identify the composition of a star or nebula from its emission and absorption lines
  • detect the cosmological red-shift of a distant quasar!
  • measure the blue-shift of a supernova’s expanding shell as it races towards us at millions of miles/hour.

Sky and Telescope Interview

Hear how easy it is to get started and the wonderful results you can get with a DSLR or a small backyard telescope. Dark skies and big telescopes aren’t necessary! You can probably get great spectra with your current setup, even from the suburbs. Watch this video:

The short video below will explain a bit more about spectroscopy with a small telescope, how exciting it is, and how you can probably use your current equipment.

Pardon our smile!

We’re pleased that Sky & Telescope Magazine awarded our RSpec software their “Hot Product” award. The award is given for product excellence and technical leadership. Our customers tell us the award was well-deserved because our ground-breaking software allows you to easily capture and process the spectra of stars.

Now you can easily capture the spectra of stars

Our RSpec software enables you to rapidly go from a static image (FITS, JPG, etc. or DSLR) or video file to a calibrated spectrum graph – in real-time. Now you can see a star or planet’s spectrum graph instantly, right at your telescope! No more waiting until later to see if you got the spectrum you hoped for.

Getting started in spectroscopy is easy. Use our inexpensive Star Analyser grating (link) on almost any camera or telescope. You’ll be able to easily see the spectra of distant stars. You can even use an unguided DSLR camera — no telescope needed.

But, don’t take our word for it — the video below shows the spectra of a bright star taken at 5 frames/second using an inexpensive video camera!

In the past, creating an intensity graph from a star’s spectrum was a painful trial-and-error process. But, now, because RSpec displays your profile graph immediately, it’s painless.

No one likes the drudgery of complicated image processing and steep learning curves. Astronomy is supposed to be fun! With RSpec, you can go from your original image to a calibrated profile graph in just a few clicks. See a star’s spectrum in real-time at your telescope!
