The Mira Difference.
- Get the best results for astronomical image data acquired
with CCD cameras, digitized photos, and the Internet.
- Experience an effective GUI design that assures a short learning curve,
helping you achieve better results faster. Not only does Mira put commonly
used tools where you are looking, but it integrates visualization, processing,
and measurement in a way that quickly becomes second nature, making it easier
to get what you need from your data. Mira brings together image visualization,
stacks, processing, measurements, and multi-image graphics in an efficient and
intuitive way that no other software has been able to copy.
- Mira’s superior image display and processing code makes it
easier and faster to work with today’s large images, especially when
displaying many images simultaneously or working with stacks containing 100’s
of images. Mira users routinely process stacks of 200-400 images in a single
window. Using today's P4 and Athlon-class machines, users can smoothly zoom, pan,
and adjust a grayscale or pseudo-color palette while animating tens or
hundreds of 1k x 1k, 32 bit real images at 20-30 frames per second.
- Use a broad selection of advanced tools to reduce noise,
remove artifacts, maximize detail, and reveal virtually undetectable features.
Combined with Mira's superior visualization tools, you will be able to see
more detail and detect fainter objects than with other software.
- Achieve maximum signal-to-noise ratio with maximum
sharpness using Mira’s superior, yet easy to use image combining and
registration. Registration and combining are critically important steps in
scientific image processing applications. Mira not only provides a greater
number of useful options, but also more effectively integrates these tasks
into your work flow.
- Characterize and compute image properties, luminance,
statistics, FWHM, and more; Measure precision coordinates, distance, and
angles—including world coordinate when using a FITS WCS calibration. No
other software makes these measurements so easily and accurately and presents
them in a common, readily usable format.
- Versatile, highly accurate aperture photometry package measures multiple
point sources on single images, image sets, and time series containing
100’s of images. Mira' s exact elliptical/circular aperture algorithm is not
available elsewhere. Especially using small apertures, it assures the greatest
accuracy and smallest photometric errors.
