Your inbox is all we ask. Nothing converts behind your back.
Every feature, switched on
The trial is the maxed-out experience, not a teaser.
Unlimited telescopes
Run your whole rig, your imaging buddy's too, as many as you like.
Install AstroMate
A couple of minutes with Docker or on a Raspberry Pi. Pick your setup.
Run with Docker, or OrbStack on macOS — same docker CLI:
docker run -d --name astromate \
-p 80:80 -v astromate-data:/data \
--restart unless-stopped \
astromate/astromate:latestThen open http://localhost in a browser.
The Clear Skies Guarantee
A month of clouds shouldn't cost you the trial.
Astronomy has one dependency we can't automate: weather. If your 30 days pass and the sky never cooperated, one click extends your trial by another week. We email you the link before the trial ends. No support ticket, no negotiating, still no card. Bad weather is the sky's fault, not yours.
And when it ends?
AstroMate pauses.Your data doesn't.
Every FITS file the trial downloaded sits in plain folders on your disk, grouped by target, filter, exposure and temperature, and stays there. We never hold your frames hostage.
Like what a month of sorted mornings feels like? Pick a plan and the automation resumes exactly where it left off. Walk away, and you keep the tidiest astrophotography library you've ever had.
your frames, your disk, your network, always
