App Overview & Navigation

Astro PM organizes a complete astrophotography workflow – from choosing targets to watching subs arrive – into a handful of panels. This page is a map of where everything lives and how the pieces fit together.

• Projects – your imaging projects: target, exposure plan, progress, constraints, charts, and weather for each one.
• Equipment – sites, telescopes, cameras, filters, and Imaging Systems (your named rigs).
• Sky View – a planetarium for framing targets, setting rotation, and building mosaics.
• Simulator / NINA Sync – builds the nightly schedule for a rig, shows the plan as a graph and log, and pushes everything to the cloud for NINA.
• Weather – forecast panels per site plus a satellite imagery player.
• Image Analysis – scans your captured subs and feeds accepted counts back into project progress.

1. Set up equipment once – sites, scopes, cameras, filters, and an Imaging System per rig.
2. Create a project – pick a target, frame it in Sky View, attach an exposure plan.
3. Simulate the night – the scheduler allocates time across all active projects and shows you exactly what will be shot, when, and through which filter.
4. Sync to the cloud – NINA picks up the plan each night and executes it.
5. Review progress – captured subs count down each project until it is complete.
