Why AstroArmory Exists
Our Mission
AstroArmory started as a personal project and was created to simplify the increasingly complex world of astrophotography equipment management, something that is typically done with spreadsheets or pen and paper.
As astrophotographers add telescopes, cameras, filters, focusers, reducers, and accessories, tracking configurations becomes difficult. Important details such as backfocus, compatibility, payload limits, costs, and imaging history are often spread across spreadsheets, notes, and memory.
AstroArmory was developed to provide a single platform for organizing equipment, building imaging rigs, tracking projects, and planning imaging sessions – a tool to bring structure and clarity to this wonderful hobby of ours. The goal is to simplify astrophotography and make it even more accessible to everyone.
Feedback from the community will play a huge role in shaping how AstroArmory evolves moving forward. I’m still learning and growing as an astrophotographer, and I need the community’s help in making this tool even better. Please use the contact section to leave your feedback – negative or positive.
The Team
Sid Krishnamoorthi
I’m a computational aero-materials engineer by day and an amateur astrophotographer at night (when the weather cooperates). I live in Indiana with my wife and dog where I typically image from my backyard. My current rigs feature a William Optics SpaceCat51 and Sky-Watcher Quattro 200P Imaging Newtonian along with ZWO 533MC Pro and ZWO 2600MC DUO cameras. Click the links below to see my work!
Astrophotography is complex and already very expensive – which is why AstroArmory will always be free for users. If you feel inclined to support me in the future development of AstroArmory and any future projects, just give me a follow on my socials and share AstroArmory with others. Thank you and clear skies!
Brannon Quel
Brannon is an astrophotographer and key contributor to AstroArmory. He worked on the conceptualization and data mining for the major improvements seen in v2.0.0. His idea of having an included library of items has helped AstroArmory become even more user-friendly. Check out his AstroBin account using the link below!
