About Project Pluto: Project Pluto supplies astronomical software, both commercial and freeware, to amateur and professional astronomers. The foremost product is the Guide CD-ROM Star Chart, a powerful general-purpose charting/desktop planetarium tool. The main purpose of this program is star chart generation, and it is unsurpassed in this area; but it also provides immense amounts of data on the objects displayed, ephemerides, telescope control, and other useful features.
The Charon astrometry/photometry software is mostly used for CCD astrometry of minor planets and comets. It can automatically match the pattern of stars in an image to stars in astrometric catalogues such as the GSC or A2.0, greatly increasing the speed at which position/magnitude measurement is done.
The Find_Orb orbit determination software can take a set of positional measurements of an asteroid, comet, or natural or artificial satellite, and determine its orbit.
