A professional solution
The astrophotography isn’t a simple activity... often the amount of equipment and software involved becomes a source of considerable trouble. Voyager is the perfect choice for those who search for a professional and very reliable solution.
The purpose of Voyager is to obtain the best quality data from its own instruments, with only the bare essentials. Voyager is a multi core optimized software, resilient, with advanced built-in algorithms and advanced A.I. driven automatation.
A.I. driven Automata
Voyager uses AI technology to improve focus, star recognition, equation calculation for VCurve, statistical calculations, and decisions for how to handle exceptions generated by the watchdog timers. Watchdogs are timers that oversee all requests to external hardware / software and recover from soft errors. In conclusion advanced AI technology inside Voyager contributes significantly to Voyager's exceptional reliability.
Made in Italy with Passion
Yes, this is yet another astrophotography software product, but it is written by an astrophotographer for other astrophotographers, including those who travel to enjoy their hobby. Every minute saved is a minute earned for photons capturing. As any experienced astrophotographer knows, things don't always work perfectly - the guide star is lost - a cloud passes by - and again Voyager is designed for maximum recovery and reliability when these things happen.
Astrophotography like a Pro
Everything is Under Control
Voyager is a systems integration software, interfacing third-part software products to make them work together and achieve practical results, using a single management console. Voyager’s goal is to reduce user interaction with the various software components needed for astrophotography, thus freeing up the astrophotographer to concentrate on other things. Voyager can interface and control a wide range of mounts, cameras, focusers, domes, weather inputs and much more.
Voyager can also be configured to send warnings to the user by external message systems – sms, email, etc. – among those included.
Voyager allows you to invoke external scripts. The unique Voyager DragScript system is both easy to use and extremely flexible in application. With Voyager you can plan anything from a simple to a complex single imaging session or multiple imaging sessions. It will provide, exactly as if you were operating yourself, a complete operational approach including equipment connection and shutdown at the end of a session. This level of control allows you to determine what you wish to image and how, many other automated programs don’t do this. Voyager also has the ability to shoot sky flats or flats from a panel. When shooting sky flats Voyager can be programmed to calculate astronomical twilight and dawn.

Look at the result
The FIT Viewer runs in its own window so you can view a full size image without having to share screen space with Voyager itself.
According to Voyager‘s “Reliability is First Priority” philosophy, it runs in its own process space, so you can view your images, change the screen stretch, etc. – without interference to Voyager’s core job – while acquiring images.

Single Star and Multiple Stars Autofocus
RoboFire VCurve and LocalField
VCurve autofocus is done on a single star at the center of the field of view. VCurve works best when your optics are flat – the focal point is the same across the field – or when the region of interest is in the center of the field, in a portion that is flat or close to flat (same focus). For example, this is a good choice for small galaxies and planetary nebulae.
LocalField autofocus optimizes the average focus (HFD: Half Flux Diameter) of multiple stars across the entire field. If your optics are not flat – there is some variation across the field – and your region of interest spans the field, LocalField will give you the best focus across the entire image. For example, this is a good choice for large nebulae or star clusters taking up the entire field.
Ahead, once again
Voyager Web Dashboard
Also hosted locally on voyager's internal web server (from Voyager 2.2.1).
This will let you use the dashboad with and without an internet connection, when started from Lan.
Voyager Web Dashboard is a Responsive Web Interface that reports session data and let you have control over your running Voyager installation, from your backyard or halfway around the world. Voyager Web Dashboard is where you can find the overview of all your connected equipment and totally manage it, taking a shot, pointing a target (celestial object) or performing an entire night session calling and executing your favourite Sequence or DragScript.
With a glance in the “engine room” you can check in realtime a preview of the last shot, in a zoomable 1:1 fullscreen window and much more
Viking Remote i/o web control
If you use Viking and manage it with Voyager, also in multi instance mode, you can control your I/O card(s) status and send commands directly by the WebDashboard.
Virtual field of view
Voyager Web Dashboard contains now Framing and Mosaic planning with Virtual Field of View.
This is an interactive window, based on Aladin Lite, that shows your real Field of View, auto caltulated from your setting data in Voyager at first connection. With a deepsky color image preview you can easily drag and drop the frame getting real time J2000 coordinates. Fully integrated with RoboClip web, you can do quick and easy framing and mosaic planning, storing your data in RoboClip and getting into Voyager main interface, target, sequence, dragscript, mosaic etc. Mosaic Planning feature calculate the single tiles rotation, in Fixed Mode drawing “rotated” tiles near the pole, or Adjusted Mode for those that needs to correct single tiles Position Angle with camera rotator. Take a try, Virtual FoV Framing and Mosaic is accurate, useful, easy and fun.

Developer
Application Server for your Voyager Web/Desktop.
Voyager is equipped with a sophisticated Application Server (AS) dedicated to interactions with external programs and web pages.
Develop your dedicated desktop or web application using the many Voyager APIs. The communication protocol is based on JSON / JSON-RPC and is avaiable from TCP-IP or WebSocket. Test the functionality of the AS through our online web application, you can connect anywhere to your Voyager even locally. If you are interested in new APIs, make your request to the support email.
Need an I/O Board Control Integration?
Do you know Viking?
Control your I/O with Viking
Viking can control your I/O board also through Voyager and Drag Script
More than 40 I/O boards supported in native mode !!
Viking is a companion of Voyager for management of I/O Cards. It’s also a stand alone GUI interface to control a lot of ready out of the box I/O Cards and domotic protocols on the market. Contains an Application Server (multithreading and multiclient) working in TCP/IP locally or over the LAN that use JSON-RPC Protocol.
Viking supports now multi-instances, if you own two licenses (Maximum 2 instances allowed).
Voyager have inside integrated the client to manage it and for use with DragScript. Also you can implement your own integration with other automation suite thanks to API methods exposed in JSON-RPC. All cards are normalized and client can use the same protocol to communicate command and retrieve status.
You can control/read/set:
– Digital Output
– DAC output
– Digital Input
– Analog Input
– PWM
– Automation switch
You can perfom a complex automation control like control mount parking before closing roof or ventilate and warmup constantly the dome space. Perform heating operation in dome and manage powering recharcing for solar cell.
Viking ASCOM Driver
Starting from 1.0.26 Viking has now a Switch-type ASCOM Driver so other automation applications such as SGP and NINA (and generally who have a Switch ASCOM client) can now use our creature. We believe that Viking is a great product and that it has potential that is right to express themselves beyond Voyager.
Thanks to the collaboration with Michael Poelzl, who carried out the entire development, the driver is ready and usable, complete with installation and excellent configuration form.
