Applications

• Mira Pro makes it easy to make research quality photometric measurements of any number of stars with any number of standards on any number of images. Doing ensemble photometry, plotting light curves, importing objects from target lists, and reporting results are a snap!
• Use Mira Pro as a powerful, general-use tool for astronomical research, including areas like variable star research, exosolar planet search, milli-mag level photometry, supernova patrol, minor planet detection and rotation, and data mining.
• Provides powerful tools for astronomical data reduction and visualization.
• Mira Pro is also great for analyzing 2-D and 3-D numerical models and simulations.
• Excellent for synoptic studies involving measurement or analysis of photometry, coordinates, distances, angles, brightness, and other parameters.

Around the world, Mira Pro, AP, and AL are used by more academic astronomers and students than all other commercial software packages combined.

Superior software is no accident. It requires understanding the problems and solutions and assembling a team of specialists and world-class developers to implement those solutions. At Mirametrics, that's exactly who we are. Mira Pro_™ provides the professional researcher or educator the tools to do it easier, faster, and better. Mira Pro includes an extensive collection of richly integrated, easy to use tools for image visualization, precision measurement, and data reduction. There is simply no other commercial application available that approaches Mira Pro for doing professional grade astronomy.

Especially if you have been slogging through image calibration using typical "CCD PROC" type tasks in other software packages, you will find Mira Pro a refreshing solution to an old problem. Image Calibration in Mira Pro is easier to configure, offers more options, and works faster than in other software. And what about 1-click calibration of a folder full of raw 4k x 4k images? No problem!

In 1990, we made a reality of astronomical image processing on the PC which was otherwise limited to expensive UNIX workstations. Since then, providing cutting edge solutions for astronomy and other disciplines has taught us many things. Mira Version 7 shows our commitment to more than just a lot of great features---it shows our attention to "human engineering". This translates as "Easy to understand and use". Using Mira Pro, you will get the superior quality results you expect and in a fraction of the time spent learning and using other software.

Discover how Mira Pro 7 can bring you results like you've never seen before.
