  PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

                     AstroMB Computer Aided Astronomy v2.7p

   AstroMB is a smart astronomical database...

   It's a relational database that handles astronomical images and catalogs.

   It's smart because it can match images and catalogs, to do astrometry
   and photometry, automatically detecting the differences (intruders and
   variable objects).

   AstroMB is also a sky charting program that can drive a telescope and
   communicate with 3rd party programs supporting Microsoft scripting.

   AstroMB can work robotically: it can slew a telescope, take images with
   CCDSoftV5 or MaximDL, solve their astrometry and photometry, and
   automatically record in its database the variables and intruders it
   detects.

   AstroMB runs on any PC with MS-Windows.

   The main features of the software package allow you:

    - To view astronomical images, displayed with celestial and
      galactic axes.

    - To handle astronomical catalogs, as disc files and via the
      Internet.

    - To match images with astronomical catalogs. To derive the
      astrometry and the photometry of an image by comparison with
      astronomical catalogs.

    - To identify sources on images from astronomical catalogs.
      To automatically detect variables and intruders. To highlight
      features by digitizing them.

    - To match different images of the same area of the sky and to
      blink them.

    - To manage astronomical images and catalogs from a database.
      Images can be quickly retrieved by keywords or by coordinates.
      The descriptions of thousands of publicly available images are
      ready to be installed.

    - To make sky maps to display horizons, image contours,
      astronomical objects, a telescope direction.

    - To associate files and programs with any image, catalog,
      astronomical object and view and run them from your browser.

    - To drive a telescope, with misalignment and flexure
      compensation.

    - To make robotic observations with a third party program to drive
      a camera that supports Microsoft scripting.

    - To be automatically alerted for intruders and variables detected
      on your images.
