How SIMS is used to search for novae
21.7.2008
Kamil Hornoch is todays most successful discoverer of novae in the M31 galaxy. He uses CCD camera on his backyard telescope to image Great Andromeda Galaxy and searches for “new” stars. With almost 40 discoveries on his account, astronomers observing on multi-meter telescopes sometimes help him with the effort. He also uses SIMS software package to calibrate and process CCD images.
Introduction to SIMS
21.7.2008
SIMS software package was developed to support G2 astronomical CCD cameras. But SIMS functionality is much wider than simply acquiring images from the camera. Number of available tools support image calibration, image blink, sub-pixel image addition and (L)RGB image composition, various mathematical operation and filters etc. SIMS also supports sequential image capturing, including filter changes, delays and sub-sequences. Native image format is FITS and SIMS also allows FITS header control and modifications.
