Keep track of your deep sky objects, planetary shots, and wide-field captures all in one place.\n\n## Features\n\n- **Image Catalog**: Organize your astrophotography images with metadata\n- **Search \u0026 Filter**: Find images by object type, date, equipment, or other criteria\n- **Image Data Management**: Track technical details like exposure settings, equipment used, and capture conditions\n- **DSO Visibility Calculator**: Used to determine when DSOs are optimally visible\n- **Best DSO Tonight**: Calculates and displays the best Deep Sky Objects visible from user's location tonight\n- **DSO Target List**: DSO Target management list for planning observing sessions.\n- **Telescope FOV Simulator**: Visualize future astrophotography sessions and what equipment to use.\n- **Collage Builder**: Create collages of your DSO images.\n- **Image Gallery**: View all your images in a gallery view. (With filters)\n- **Weather Forecast**: 7 day weather forecast with astro related scoring. The weather detail window shows hourly forecast per day. \n\n## Screenshots\n  ### DSO Detail\n  ![DSO detail](screenshots/DSO-Detail.jpg)\n\n  ### DSO Visibility Calculator\n  ![DSO visibility calculator showing optimal viewing times](screenshots/DSO-Visibility-Calculator.jpg)\n\n  ### Best DSO Tonight\n  ![Best DSO Tonight](screenshots/Best-DSO-Tonight.jpg)\n\n  ### DSO Target List\n  ![DSO Target List](screenshots/DSO-Target-List.jpg)\n\n  ### Telescope FOV Simulator (Aladin-Lite)\n  ![FOV simulator preview](screenshots/Aladin-Lite-Telescope-FOV.jpg)\n\n  ### DSO Image Gallery\n  ![DSO Image Gallery](screenshots/DSO-Image-Gallery.jpg)\n\n  ### Image Viewer\n  ![Image Viewer](screenshots/Image-Viewer.jpg)\n\n  ### Weather Overview\n  ![Weather Overview](screenshots/Weather-Overview.jpg)\n\n  ### Weather Details\n  ![Weather Details](screenshots/Weather-Details.jpg)\n\n  ### NINA Dashboard\n  ![Nina Dashboard](screenshots/NINA-Dashboard.jpg)\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Download Latest Release\n\n1. Go to the [Releases](https://github.com/quake101/CosmosCollection/releases) page\n2. Download the latest version for your operating system:\n   - Windows: `CosmosCollection-Windows.zip`\n   - macOS: `CosmosCollection-macOS.zip`\n   - Linux: `CosmosCollection-Linux.zip`\n3. Extract the downloaded file\n4. Run the application executable\n\n#### Linux System Requirements\n\nBefore running Cosmos Collection on Linux, you need to install the required Qt system libraries:\n\n**Ubuntu/Debian:**\n```bash\nsudo apt-get update\nsudo apt-get install libxcb-cursor0\n```\n\n**Fedora/RHEL:**\n```bash\nsudo dnf install xcb-util-cursor\n```\n\n**Arch Linux:**\n```bash\nsudo pacman -S xcb-util-cursor\n```\n\nThis is a one-time system setup required for Qt 6.5+ applications.\n\n### Building from Source\n\nIf you prefer to build from source:\n\n#### Prerequisites\n\n- Python 3.x\n- Required dependencies (see requirements.txt)\n- **Linux only**: System Qt libraries (see Linux System Requirements above)\n\n#### Installation\n\n1. Clone or download the CosmosCollection project\n2. Install dependencies:\n   ```\n   pip install -r requirements.txt\n   ```\n3. Run the application:\n   ```\n   python main.py\n   ```\n\n## Usage\n\nLaunch Cosmos Collection and start building your personal astrophotography catalog by importing your images and adding relevant metadata for each capture.\n\n## Command Line Interface\n\nCosmos Collection supports command line operations for scripting and automation.\n\n### Using the CLI\n\n**Compiled Release:** Use the `CosmosCollection-CLI` executable included in the release:\n```bash\n# Windows\nCosmosCollection-CLI.exe --list-dsos\n\n# Linux/macOS\n./CosmosCollection-CLI --list-dsos\n```\n\n**From Source:** Use Python directly:\n```bash\npython main.py --list-dsos\n```\n\n### Add an Image\n\n```bash\n# Basic usage (from source)\npython main.py --add-image --dso \"M31\" --image \"/path/to/image.jpg\"\n\n# Basic usage (compiled release)\nCosmosCollection-CLI --add-image --dso \"M31\" --image \"/path/to/image.jpg\"\n\n# With full metadata\npython main.py --add-image --dso \"NGC 7000\" --image \"/path/to/image.tif\" \\\n    --equipment \"Telescope: AT72ED, Camera: ASI2600\" \\\n    --integration \"3600\" \\\n    --date \"2024-01-15\" \\\n    --notes \"First light!\" \\\n    --set-favorite\n```\n\n**Options:**\n| Option | Description |\n|--------|-------------|\n| `--dso NAME` | DSO name (required) - e.g., M31, NGC 7000, IC 1396 |\n| `--image PATH` | Path to the image file (required) |\n| `--equipment TEXT` | Equipment used (optional) |\n| `--integration SECONDS` | Integration time in seconds (optional) |\n| `--date YYYY-MM-DD` | Date the image was taken (optional) |\n| `--notes TEXT` | Notes about the image (optional) |\n| `--set-favorite` | Set this image as the favorite for the DSO |\n\n### Search for DSOs\n\n```bash\n# From source\npython main.py --search-dso \"M31\"\n\n# Compiled release\nCosmosCollection-CLI --search-dso \"M31\"\nCosmosCollection-CLI --search-dso \"Orion\"\nCosmosCollection-CLI --search-dso \"NGC 70\"\n```\n\n### List All DSOs\n\n```bash\n# From source\npython main.py --list-dsos\n\n# Compiled release\nCosmosCollection-CLI --list-dsos\n```\n\n### Help\n\n```bash\n# From source\npython main.py --help\n\n# Compiled release\nCosmosCollection-CLI --help\n```\n\n## Contributing\n\nThis is a personal project for astrophotography organization and session planning tool.
