Astrometrica provides the ability to easily compare astromerical images for the purpose of moving object detection. See links below for software, installation guides, instructions, and practice image sets.

The International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC) is a citizen science program that provides high-quality astronomical data to citizen scientists around the world. These citizen scientists are able to make original astronomical discoveries and participate in hands-on astronomy. This service is provided at no cost!

3 天之前 · Use the free Astrometrica software package to “flip” between your four images to identify objects that are moving across the background of stars. Advanced users can access a wide range of image analysis tools. Earn a certificate recognizing your contributions. Time: Completing the tutorial takes about 2 hours.

When new members join our amateur research community, they are encouraged to form groups and are trained in using the Astrometrica program to search for asteroids using practice datasets. Participants learn to analyze these datasets, prepare Minor Planet Center (MPC) reports, and submit them to IASC.

Please visit the Astrometrica page to download the latest IASC version of Astrometrica. This version of Astrometrica has been tailored to IASC and is not the same as versions found on other sites. You should also download the Quick Start Guide, as it has instructions on how to set up Astrometrica correctly.

By accessing high-quality astronomical data, participants engage in hands-on astronomy, making original discoveries and gaining insights into asteroid impacts and planetary defense. Program Duration: August 1 to 26, 2024. Only 100 teams will be guided by STEM & Space Mentors. Register your child!

您可以通过查看Astrometrica右下角的状态栏来查看加载了哪个星表。 星表是状态栏中的第一个条目。 要更改星表，请单击工具栏上的设置按钮（蓝色扳手）。

It outlines the key steps to: 1) start Astrometrica and load image sets, 2) visually scan blinking images using the blink utility to detect moving objects, 3) manually measure detected objects across multiple images, and 4) generate and submit Minor Planet Center reports of findings through the team page.

2024年11月5日 · Help keep Earth safe from near-Earth asteroids by finding more. The International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC) is a citizen science program that provides high-quality astronomical data to citizen scientists around the world.

2019年12月6日 · Self-signed certificate encountered. I have contacted the MPC staff on that matter and I will keep you updated. I am getting the same message when I try to download the MPCOrb.dat file. I did not notice the message about the certificate at first as it only appeared on the screen for a fraction of a second.
