Introduction

What is Pyastroimageview?

Pyastroimageview is an image acquisition program that allows taking images with a supported astronomy hardware (via ASCOM or INDI) including:

• cameras

• mounts

• focusers

• filter wheels

Pyastroimageview can take an image sequence and in addition pyastroimageview will control PHD2 to cause dither events while taking an image sequence.

Pyastroimageview also has an JSON-RPC-like API that allows it to act as a hub for hardware like cameras which do not always support multiple clients.
