  1. Astronomical Video Reduction Software TaNgra Hristo Pavlov IOTA 2011, 17 June 2011

  2. LiMovie • Pros • Lunar Occultations • Fresnel Diffraction Tool • Lunar Grazes and Mutual Events • Cons • Basic tracking • “Blind” measurements • May need other software (AviSynth) • Manual update

  3. Tangra • Pros • Review measurements frame by frame • Can open almost all videos directly • Workflow. Improved tracking • Range of measurement methods • Pre-processing and software integration • Cons • No Lunar Occultations support • No Mutual Events support

  4. Tangra - Photometric Methods • Papers • Mighell, K., 1999, "Algorithms for CCD Stellar Photometry“ • Stetson. P., 1986, "DAPHOT: A computer program for crowded-field stellar photometry", • Naylor, T. 1998, An Optimal Extraction for Imaging Photometry • Aperture Photometry • PSF Photometry • Numerical • Analytical • Optimal Extraction

  5. Low Pass Filter – LP

  6. Low Pass Difference Filter – LPD

  7. Demo

  8. Video Astrometry • Accuracy ~ 0.2 pixels (~ 0.3 arcsec) • Fast moving objects • Measuring multiple frames • Scientific value • Near Earth Asteroids (NEA) • Comets

  9. Tangra Astrometry - Requirements • Star catalogue – UCAC2, UCAC3 or NOMAD • Calibration • Take video of a known field • Manually identify three stars

  10. Astrometry of NEA

  11. Astrometry - NEA

  12. Astrometry - Comet

  13. Astrometry – Comet
