<p class="rvps10"><span class="rvts22">Ekos</span><span class="rvts20"> is an advanced cross-platform (Windows®, Mac® OS, Linux®) observatory control and automation tool with a particular focus on Astrophotography. It is based on a modular extensible framework to perform common astrophotography tasks. This includes highly accurate GOTOs using astrometry solver, ability to measure </span><span class="rvts21">and</span><span class="rvts20"> correct polar alignment errors, auto-focus & auto-guide capabilities, and capture of single or stack of images with filter wheel support. Ekos is shipped with KStars.</span></p>
<p class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Ekos introductory video</span></p>
<p class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Features:</span></p>
<ul style="text-indent: 0px; padding: 0; margin: 0 0 0 24px; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: disc;">
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Control your telescope, CCD (& DSLRs), filter wheel, focuser, guider, adaptive optics unit, and any INDI-compatible auxiliary device from Ekos.</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts21">Built-in</span><span class="rvts20"> native </span><a class="rvts23" href="Guide1.html">autoguiding</a><span class="rvts20"> with support for automatic dithering between exposures and support for Adaptive Optics devices in addition to traditional guiders.</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><a class="rvts23" href="http://knro.blogspot.com/2013/10/demo-of-ekos-alignment-module.html">Extremely accurate GOTOs</a><span class="rvts20"> using astrometry.net solver (both Online and Offline solvers supported).</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Load & Slew: Load a FITS image, slew to solved coordinates, and center the mount on the exact image coordinates in order to get the same desired frame.</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Measure & Correct Polar Alignment errors using astromety.net solver.</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Easy to use </span><a class="rvts23" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx6Zz9lNd5Q">Polar Alignment Assistant</a><span class="rvts20"> tool. A very quick and reliable tool to polar align your German Equatorial Mount!</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Capture and record </span><a class="rvts23" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJFZWwlAQRM">video streams in SER format</a><span class="rvts20">.</span></li>

<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts21">Smart</span><span class="rvts20"> Dark Library: All your dark frames with different binning/temperature/frame settings are saved for future use. Ekos re-uses dark frames intelligently without taking unnecessary captures. You can configure how long you want to reuse all the dark frames.</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Define multiple driver profiles for local and remote setups. Switch among them easily.</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Auto and manual focus modes using Half-Flux-Radius (HFR) method.</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><a class="rvts23" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stsrcsPxUZA">Automated unattended meridian flip</a><span class="rvts20">. Ekos performs post meridian flip alignment, calibration, focusing, and guiding to resume the capture session.</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Automatic focus between exposures when a user-configurable HFR limit is exceeded.</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Powerful sequence queue for batch capture of images with optional prefixes, timestamps, filter wheel selection, and much more!</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Export and import sequence queue sets as Ekos Sequence Queue (.esq) files.</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><a class="rvts23" href="http://youtu.be/fg2HDFg_dCE">Center the telescope anywhere in a captured FITS image</a><span class="rvts20"> or any FITS with World Coordinate System (WCS) header.</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Automatic flat field capture, just set the desired ADU and let Ekos does the rest!</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Automatic abort and resumption of exposure tasks if guiding errors exceed a user-configurable value.</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Support for dome slaving.</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Complete integration with KStars Observation Planner and SkyMap.</span></li>
<li class="rvps10"><span class="rvts20">Fully scriptable via </span><a class="rvts23" href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus/">DBus</a><span class="rvts20">.</span></li>
