AIPS - Astronomical Image Processing System
[open source - Unix, and VMS] A software package for interactive (and, optionally, batch) calibration and editing of radio interferometric data and for the calibration, construction, display and analysis of astronomical images made from those data using Fourier synthesis methods.
AIPS++
http://aips2.nrao.edu/docs/html/aips++.html
[open source - Unix, WinNT] The next generation AIPS software.
AstroArt
http://www.sira.it/msb/astroart.htm
[commercial, demo available - Win95/98/NT] A complete software product for analysis and processing of astronomical images. With the built-in star atlas based on the Guide Star Catalogue, it is also possible to perform astrometric and photometric calibration on your images.
Auriga Imaging
Auriga Imaging's program RegiStar automatically registers (aligns) astrophotos -- no user intervention required.
CCD Astronomy
http://home.t-online.de/home/mrimkus/astrmain.htm
[some are free, MS-Win] Software tools for Cookbook camera.
CCDSoFT
[commercial, demo available - Win95/98] Main image processing features: unsharp mask, maximum entropy and Lucy-Richardson deconvolution, multilayer with auto-align, median, mosaic, RGB, LRGB images.
ESO-MIDAS: Image Data Analysis System
[open source - Linux/Unix, VAX/VMS/OpenVMS] General tools for image processing and data reduction with emphasis on astronomical applications including stellar and surface photometry, image sharpening and decomposition, as well as imaging and special reduction packages for ESO instrumentation.
GIPSY - Groningen Image Processing System
http://www.astro.rug.nl/~gipsy/
[open source - Unix] A highly interactive software system for the reduction and display of astronomical data.
IDL - Interactive Data Language
[commercial - multiplatform] Data analysis, visualization, and cross-platform application development software.
IRAF - Image Reduction and Analysis Facility
[open source - Unix, OpenVMS] A general-purpose software system for the reduction and analysis of astronomical data. IRAF is written and supported by the IRAF programming group at the National Optical Astronomy Observatories (NOAO) in Tucson, Arizona.
