Fisch ImageLab™ Software
Fisch Image Lab Software
Fisch Image Lab software allows you to create images like the above from a wide variety of supported telescopes and CCD/CMOS imagers.
 
About Fisch Image Lab

Fisch Image Lab was conceived and written by Greg Fisch. Over the past 20 years, Greg has developed a number of sophisticated software projects ranging from six-legged walking robots to CT Scanners. Many projects were involved directly with Astronomy or Space research.

One of Greg's best known projects was a program called Epoch 2000. This program was one of the early Desktop Observatory programs. It featured a high-accuracy starmap, telescope control and image processing all in one program! The software was eventually purchased in 1995 by Meade Intruments Corporation. Meade is still supplying a version of the software with their telescopes and imagers.

With today's advanced telescopes and low-cost, high-quality imagers, everyone interested in Astronomy can produce breath taking Astronomical images using Fisch Image Lab software.
Image Capture
  • Sophisticated, easy to use CCD/CMOS imager controller
    • Automatic stacking and rotation that allows imaging with telescopes in Alt-Az configuration
    • Telescope guiding in either Alt-Az or Equatorial modes
    • Separate control of Main Imager and Guider
    • Filter wheel support (on selected imagers)
  • Automatic Bias Frame, Dark Frame and Flat Field processing while the image is being captured.
  • Images automatically added into a SQL Database for easy cataloging and searching
Image Processing
  • High-precision, floating point image processing
    • 32-bit Monochrome
    • 96-bit Color.
  • Image Prescaler to quickly and accurately fit full-range images into the limited range of computer monitors
  • All image processing functions work with either RGB or Monochrome images
  • Convolution filters: Average, Gaussian Blur, Sharpen, Edge-enhance, and many others
  • Additive, Average and Median Combine merge features
  • RGB Merge with Luminance and color only function.
  • Simple image registration facility built into the Merge and RGB Merge functions
  • Digital Development Processing
  • Unlimited Undo/Redo
  • And many other features
