I have released three new FREE software applications for your Astronomy and Astrophotography!
PolarisView is an application to assist with the alignment of your GEM (German Equatorial Mount)
Telescope mount. PolarisView for Windows™ and PolarisView for Android™ devices.
MySiderealTime is an application to assist with your astronomy session if you are using a
star chart or need the Local Mean Sidereal Time. The sidereal time is displayed in 24 hour format in large text font so
that it is easy to read even on a small display. The text is red on a black background to preserve your night vision. The
local time is also displayed along with latitude and longitude, and GMT.
MyAstroLight turns your android device into a red reading light to preserve your night vision. The brightness
can be adjusted by swiping up or right to increase, and left or down to decrease. Double tapping will toggle between the
brightest and the most dim setting.
See the
Astrophotography Software Page for more information and to download the apps!

As always check back for updates to the galleries, as I have added images from a recent birding trip to Florida, and have acquired a couple specialized astrophotography cameras to add to the astrophotography gallery.
WatWare Nature Photography offers a stock collection of Nature Photographs for a variety of uses.

AstroPhotography is a new step for WatWare into photography of deep space and solar system objects. Photographing and processing night sky objects presents a special set of challenges. In addition to the Astrophotography gallery, you will find tips on what kind of equipment is required for shooting the various non-terrestrial objects, along with examples, and tips on processing the images.
