CCD Explorer Windows Software
A free Windows based program I wrote that allows you to store information about your CCD images in a database. The program allows you to organize and sort your images. It supports most graphic formats and has many features built into it including support for 16 and 32 bit images. Although created for CCD imaging, it can be used for astrophotography as well.
CCD Explore has many new features that were not in version 1.0 such as printing, some image processing, and converting to other file formats. In addition you can now customize your reference tables for equipment, cameras, and filters you use.
The software comes with an installer and will work with Windows 98 or higher including Windows Vista, the next version of Windows
In addition, the software has some 45,000 defined U.S. cities with longitude, latitude, time zones, and other information. Using defined cities, you can quickly look up information on the sun, moon, and planets.
CCD Explorer is FREE

You can customize my Web site on your computer for your location to get statistical information on the sun, moon, and planets. This includes lunar phases to 2035, rise and set times, magnitudes, phases, RA and DEC positions, distances, and much more. In addition, I update my database every month with current events happening in the sky and what the planets are doing for the current month. To set up your location, just enter your US or Canada city or zip code on the top of the page. If your city is not found or you do not have a U.S. or Canada zip code, use the City Locator. You can save your location for future visits so you do not have to enter your information each time you visit my site.
