Astronomy software built for remote observatories
Generic planetarium apps and desktop remote-desktop tools were not designed for unattended imaging. FRAOS is astronomy software that connects scheduling, automation, weather, and safety into one remote console — so your observatory keeps working through the night.
What FRAOS includes
- ✓Interactive Atlas with day/night sky modes and target search (NGC, Messier, IC)
- ✓Tonight schedule strip with weather-permitted hours and twilight boundaries
- ✓Session queue with deep-sky and variable-star workflows
- ✓LRGB and narrowband filter plans with per-filter exposure counts
- ✓Project Mode for multi-night target completion
- ✓Live 3D mount and dome telemetry in the remote console
- ✓Imaging Dashboard with session progress, previews, and sensor temperature
- ✓Integrated weather gates for cloud, rain, and wind
- ✓10–50 GB cloud storage depending on plan
- ✓Over-the-air updates for Control Client and Station
Borean Control Client runs on your Mac or Windows laptop. Borean Station runs on the observatory PC alongside NINA. Together they form a complete astrophotography software stack for operators who need reliability more than flashy demos.
Whether you image from a suburban roll-off roof or a remote dark-sky site, FRAOS gives you the same operational picture: what is scheduled tonight, what is running now, and whether the sky is still clear enough to continue.
