PLAY Prima Luce AstrophotographY software for telescopes

PLAY is the astrophotography software that allows you to record beautiful pictures of the night sky in the simplest way, with the telescope, mount and camera you prefer! Connect all your telescope devices to PLAY and start your exploration of the Universe: check the Planetarium sky chart to find astrophotography targets, visualise your field of view, and automatically point to the target you select (also with Auto Alignment); focus your image (also with AutoFocus) and rotate your camera sensor; capture Dark, Flat, and Bias calibration files to optimise your image processing; control your camera to preview images or to record a sequence (also with AutoStacking).
PLAY allows you to configurate your telescope by selecting OTA, EQ or Alt-Az mount provided with ASCOM drivers, astronomy camera and filter wheels provided with ASCOM drivers, ESATTO focuser or SESTO SENSO 2 focusing motor, ARCO rotator, GIOTTO flat field generator, ALTO telescope cover motor and ScopeDome observatory domes!
In order to use PLAY you have to have at least ESATTO focuser, SESTO SENSO 2 focusing motor, GIOTTO flat field generator or ALTO telescope cover motor. PLAY is free and you can can download it from the DOWNLOAD section of our website!

I'm a NINA diehard but I actually prefer the user interface on this. Nice work, PLL. I might give it a go!

This is going to be revolutionary, mark my words.

[@whatmattersmost6725]

Sorry mark my words it will not be!

Can a custom landscape be added so the software knows when the object will come from behind trees, my house etc

[@Oscaro9928]

Does play allow one to use the TTS-160 derotator?

[@Primalucelab]

PLAY supports the ARCO rotator for alt-az astrophotography with the Panther mount (and others), not other de-rotators

So... You criticize the "close systems" but lock into Windows instead of making it available for all platforms ( macOS , Linux, etc.. ). Even put a screen shot using a MacBook... Amazing!! Good luck, I don't think many people will lock into your "pornographically expensive" systems.

Innovation takes time and windows is the most common platform and a great choice for a starting point… price is not everything, value is … not sure what contribution have you made to the community besides criticism 😂

@@AsKyOdAyeah, you can’t really pump out a software with support for all these operating systems by snapping your fingers.

@@natevailikit1536 yep and good to see other companies getting into the astro game, current top 3 companies own the market and set prices, outsiders will encourage innovation and drive price down in future
