Lynkeos - an application for processing of astronomical images
Lynkeos [
options] [
file]
Lynkeos is a program dedicated to processing of astronomical (mainly
planetary) images taken with a webcam through a telescope. It can import
images and movies in various formats. The images are stacked and processed
with different algorithms to improve the quality of the end result.
Lynkeos is optimized for multi-processor and multi-core machines.
No options are supported apart from the global GNUstep
--GNU-Debug
option. If supplied,
file must be a Lynkeos Project file (Apple binary
property list with
.seq extension).
Lynkeos is fully configurable from its GUI interface. The only option
which is not exposed to the user is for debugging inter-thread communication.
It can be set with the
defaults(1) tool:
defaults write Lynkeos ThreadConnectionDebug
n
Where
n should be a number representing the debug level:
1 for
debug messages related to the queue and
2 for full debugging (more
verbose).
Because
Lynkeos does all of its image processing in secondary threads, it
only works with the default cairo GNUstep backend. Certain functionality is
disabled or does not work properly due to incomplete GNUstep implementations
of the Cocoa API or differences in behavior.
