Starlink::AST provides a perl wrapper to the Starlink AST library.
The Starlink AST library provides facilities for transforming coordinates
from one system to another in an object oriented manner. Multiple
coordinate frames can be associated with a data set and it is also
possible to generate automatic mappings between frames.

Coordinate frame objects can be imported from FITS headers and from
NDF files.

- Add p5-Astro-Coords 0.15

Astro::Coords is a class for manipulating and transforming astronomical
coordinates. Can handle the following coordinate types:
- Equatorial RA/Dec, galactic (including proper motions and parallax)
- Planets
- Comets/Asteroids
- Fixed locations in azimuth and elevations
- Interpolated apparent coordinates

For time dependent calculations a telescope location and reference time must be
provided. See Astro::Telescope and DateTime for details on specifying location
and reference epoch.

- Add p5-Astro-PAL 1.05

Astro::PAL provides a Perl interface to either the Starlink PAL positional
astronomy library.

Return values are returned on the stack rather than being modified in place.

In addition small utility subroutines are provided that do useful tasks (from
the author's point of view) - specifically routines for calculating the Local
Sidereal Time.

- Add p5-Astro-Flux 0.01

Astro::Flux provides a class for handling astronomical flux quantities. This
class does not currently support conversions from one flux type to another (say,
from magnitudes to Janskies) but may in the future.

WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Astro-Flux/

06:57 sunpoet 

- Add p5-Astro-WaveBand 0.08

Class to transparently deal with the conversion between filters, wavelength,
frequency and other methods of specifying a location in the electro-magentic
spectrum.

Astro::WaveBand tries to determine the natural form of the numbers such that a
request for a summary of the object when it contains 2.2 microns would return
the filter name but would return the wavelength if it was not a standard filter.
In ambiguous cases an instrument name is required to decide what to return. In
really ambiguous cases the user can specify the unit in which to display the
numbers on stringification.

Used mainly as a way of storing a single number in a database table but using
logic to determine the number that an observer is most likely to understand.

Numerical comparison operators can be used to compare two Astro::WaveBand
objects. When checking equality, the "natural" and "instrument" methods are
used, so if two Astro::WaveBand objects return the same value from those
methods, they are considered to be equal. When checking other comparisons such
as greater than, the wavelength is used.

QLandkarte GT is the ultimate outdoor aficionado's tool. It supports GPS maps in

And it fills the gap Garmin leaves in refusing to support Linux. QLandkarte GT
is the proof that writing portable applications for Unix, Windows and OSX is
feasible with a minimum of overhead. No excuses!

QLandkarte GT does replace the original QLandkarte with a much more flexible
architecture. It's not limited to a map format or device. Thus if you think your
Magellan GPS or other should be supported, join the team.

Additionally it is a front end to the GDAL tools, to make georeferencing scanned
maps feasible for the normal user. Compared to similar tools like QGis, it's
target users are more on the consumer side than on the scientific one.
QLandkarte GT might not let you select every possible feature of the GDAL tools,
but it will simplify their use to the demands of most users.

RoadMap is at an early stage of development. At this time there are no
routing features implemented yet. RoadMap can only display the map around
a specified street address or follow a GPS device (using gpsd). The plan
for the future is to implement some navigation features similar to those
found in commercial street navigation systems.

RoadMap uses a binary file format for representing the maps that is compact
enough to allow the storage of many maps on a Compact Flash or MultiMedia
card. The map of Los Angeles county takes about 10 Mbytes of flash space.
RoadMap comes with a set of tools to convert the US Census bureau data

Add port astro/xeartk:

xeartk is a tkgeomap application that uses the geomap::wdgeomap command
to create an interactive map. The geographic data is from the xearth
root window program. by Kirk Lauritz Johnson in an interactive widget.
xeartk is not part of and does not require xearth. It only uses the
outline data defined in file mapdata.c of the xearth source
distribution. The cities are from factmonster.

Adjust the map view by Shift-Double-Clicking or Shift-Dragging. Double
click a dot to display information about the city there on the terminal.

Add port astro/ptiger:

ptiger is a Tcl/Tk/Tkgeomap script that uses wdgeomap to display U.S.
Census Burea populated places on an interactive geographic map.

To run it, type ptiger on the command line. After a few seconds, a map
should appear. Adjust the view by Dragging or Double-Clicking. As the
cursor moves, a label below the map displays the cursor location and
the azimuth and range from the + marker to the cursor. Move the + marker
by Right-Double-Clicking. The map has dots at places with population
greater than a user selected threshold. Moving the cursor over a dot
labels the place with its name and displays the population in another
label below the map. In addition to the wdgeomap menus, a Places menu
enables adjustment of the population threshold and dot size. There is
also a Find menu that does a case insensitive regular expression search
for a named place.

This program computes ephemerides of Sun, Moon, planets, comets, and stars
using rigorous reduction methods from the _Astronomical Almanac_ and related
sources. Includes PLAN404 series for positions of the planets, and a long-term
extension of modern Lunar theory for the Moon's position. Reads ASCII file
catalogues of stars and orbital elements. Displays all adjustments as it finds
local azimuth and elevation, rise and set times, etc.

WeatherSpect provides a reasonably accurate simulation of what the
weather looks like outside, in ASCII art. It includes rain, snow,
lightning, sleet, and hail. The windspeed and cloudiness are reflected
in the velocity and quantity of clouds. There are trees that age,
reproduce and die over the course of an hour, and a sun and moon that
follow the actual sun and moonrise. There's also a dancing turtle.

GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes from one format to another,
whether that format is a common mapping format like Delorme, Streets and Trips,
or even a serial upload or download to a GPS unit such as those from Garmin and
Magellan. By flattening the Tower of Babel that the authors of various programs
for manipulating GPS data have imposed upon us, it returns to us the ability
to freely move our own waypoint data between the programs and hardware we
choose to use.
It contains extensive data manipulation abilities making it a convenient for
server-side processing or as the backend for other tools.

gpsd is a service daemon that monitors one or more GPSes
attached to a host computer through serial or USB ports,
making all data on the location/course/velocity of the
sensors available to be queried on TCP port 2947 of the
host computer. With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications
(such as navigational and wardriving software) can share
access to GPSes without contention or loss of data. Also,
gpsd responds to queries with a format that is substantially
easier to parse than the NMEA 0183 emitted by most GPSes.

SETI - Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence

Use your unused CPU cycles to aid in computations analyzing radio
telescope information for possible signs of ET.

This version of SETI@home is based on BOINC (Berkeley Open
Infrastructure for Network Computing).  Several other projects
besides SETI@home are using BOINC.  BOINC lets you participate in
more than one project, and it lets you specify what fraction of
your computer time should go to each project.

This port requires net/boinc-client and together these supersede
the astro/setiathome port which is now known as SETI-Classic.

Be sure to join the "FreeBSD" team on the SETI website once you're
up and running.
