Solar Eclipse MaestroOverview

Solar Eclipse Maestro is the most versatile and feature-rich application for solar eclipses. It can handle any solar eclipse, provide you Baily's beads preview and animation, simulate an all-sky view or weather statistics, and a lot more. To help you enjoy the event, it can controls up to four USB or Firewire connected cameras (Nikon and Canon DSLRs, plus Nikon Coolpix line) and up to four USB or Ethernet connected SBIG CCD cameras with their filter wheels during an eclipse so that you can be free to concentrate on observing the event visually. Actions can be preprogrammed according to a script. Observer position (latitude and longitude coordinates, altitude) is used to calculate local circumstances so that camera actions can be referenced to specific eclipse events. Refraction, lunar limb profile effects, and ∆T correction supported. Sun/Moon diagram and large event countdown display. Eclipse color-coded map with mouse-over geographic cursor coordinates and eclipse duration info to indicate where to move to increase your eclipse duration. A maximum eclipse diagram at the mouse-over location can also be displayed. Two versions are available: one Universal Binary for OS X 10.4 Tiger and later, the second Intel-only for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and later.

  • Live View (Lv) mode support to allow easier focusing and exposure compensation,
  • Night-vision mode to preserve your dark adaptation for totality,
  • Exposure Calculator to find the best exposure for each eclipse event,
  • Support for all Nikon and Canon DSLRs,
  • Support for all SBIG CCD cameras with their filter wheels,
  • Baily's beads simulator,
  • Sky chart,
  • PDF exports,
  • And a lot more...

NEW

  • Higher accuracy Besselian elements are now used for ASE 2013, HSE 2013, ASE 2014, TSE 2015, TSE 2016, ASE 2016, ASE 2017, deltaT and dUT1 have been updated to the latest values
  • Many under the hood improvements were made
  • An interesting new feature was improved for Nikon DSLRs: shooting at full resolution with the mirror always raised is possible (shouldn't be confused with video mode) using the two instructions LVPSTART and LVPSTOP. This gives even better results and reduce the time needed between successive frames as you don't need to wait after locking-up the mirror.
  • Other new and improved features and bug fixes.
