Hey all,
After a few months of heads-down work, AstroEquip is open for a small beta. It's a free, vendor-neutral software suite for astrophotographers. No mandatory signup, no products to sell. Just software tools.
Two things to play with:
Gear Finder: answer a few questions, get a scored match across 25 brands and 126 pieces of kit (mounts, OTAs, cameras, filters, reducers). Tells you what plays nicely with what you already own and flags compatibility issues before you buy.
Telescope Simulator: Aladin Lite + Simbad-powered. Punch in your scope + camera, see real FOVs over real sky, swap filters and reducers, try rotation modes.
Both live at astroequip.store/, astroequip.eu/, astroequip.se/
