Software for automated asteroids and comets discoveries
Free download the most current version of the CoLiTec software. It's time for discoveries!
Free download brief manuals of the CoLiTec software.
Free download full documentation of the CoLiTec software.
Processing pipeline managed by OLDAS and allows for real-time data processing and assigns confirmation of the most interesting objects at the night of their preliminary discovery.
More...Modern viewer of obtained results with a user-friendly GUI. The viewer runs independently of the main program and it can be used for independent review of CoLiTec operation results .
More...Software allows to manage of archive, including searching for data by parameters (coordinates). Retrieve additional data via VizieR (SDSS v8 and 2MASS).
More...CoLiTec operation results can be monitored from anywhere in the world. All that is required is any modern smartphones, a tablet or laptops running on any OS platform.
More...Group of asteroids that are in the vicinity of the Lagrange points L4 and L5 of Jupiter in a 1:1 orbital resonance. These asteroids were named after characters in the Trojan War, described in the Iliad.
2010 XR32, 2010 XG21, 2010 VO138, 2010 VT36, 2011 QJ9, 2011 QQ47,Small celestial body having a foggy view, orbiting the Sun in conic section with a very extended orbit. When a comet approaching the sun can form a long tail of gas and dust.
(MPEC 2010-X101) C/2011 X1 (Elenin)Relatively small celestial body of the Solar System, orbiting the Sun. Asteroids are much lower on the mass and size of the planet, are irregular in shape, and have no atmosphere, although it and they can have satellites.
(MPEC 2011-Q51) 2011 QY37Class of small planets in the Solar System, moving between the orbits of Jupiter and Neptune. By May 2000, the family of centaurs were already about 15 members; all of them give the names of the mythical centaurs: Foul, Ness and other centaurs diameters of 100-300 km and they have a very dark surface.

"Since November 2010, the search processing surveys carried out using software package CoLiTec. Its use greatly increased the efficiency of observations and dramatically increased the number of discovered objects. In 2011 was commissioned system OLDAS, would allow for automatic processing of frames as they are received from the telescope, almost in real time. The program is constantly evolving and currently the main task is to increase efficiency and detection of fast and dim objects."

"Guys, today held the first small survey fully on the new software, as the observatory management and processing. CoLiTec software was worked without any problems, on 3 fields (on the Moon rose) 120 objects were found, 7 of them are new. Work satisfied, continue to refinement and tuning."
Igor Molotov, ISON
"Our observatory opened the hundredth asteroid! This is an ordinary main-belt asteroid, designated 2010 XU12. The asteroid was discovered by entering our "record" review on December 2nd , the entrance of which was discovered 139 new objects! And made 3196 measurements per night. Our survey program is going to a new level, completely replaced by automatic detection of moving objects. In this lunation a new program (CoLiTec software), developed by Ukrainian team of programmers, is run and adjusted. I am confident that the new year will bring us a lot of interesting discoveries!"

"…The Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics (Russian Academy of Sciences) scientist Leonid Elenin discovered a new comet tenth day of December last year, the survey by analyzing frames taken from a remote-controlled telescope automated observatory ISON-NM. This non-governmental Observatory built by the project of the International Astronomical International Scientific Optical Network (ISON). It is located in the mountains of New Mexico (USA), at a height of more than two kilometers, the main mirror of its review of the telescope has a diameter of 455 mm. Frames were processed by the CoLiTec software, created by Ukrainian specialists to detect moving space objects - asteroids, comets and debris - debris rockets and satellites, randomly moving around the Earth. After mathematical frames processing Leonid manually checked to weed out the noise and identify the set of celestial bodies such objects of interest. During this test, L. Elenin discovered slightly blurred trail, not like the asteroid left, and concluded - a new comet was found…"

"The first two asteroid in 2010 (WX3) and 2010 (WY), discoveried by the CoLiTec software on our ISON-NM observatory."

"On behalf of the ISON project and the ISON-NM observatory, congratulations with Happy New Year to all website readers! I wish you all happiness and good luck in the future, in 2011! I want to sum up the past year the main, more about this later - January 13, 2011 will celebrate six months of our survey program. During this time, discovered more than a hundred new objects, one of them is the astroid near-Earth (NEA) 2010 RN80, and the most important discovery is the first Russian comet C/2010 X1 (Elenin). In the Minor Planet Center (Minor Planet Center, MPC) sent tens of thousands of measurements on thousands of small bodies in the Solar System. At the beginning of the observatory used new CoLiTec software, in particular software package CLT for image processing and ACP + ACPS for effectively remote observatory management."

"Leonid opened his and our first comet. Hooray! Congratulations! Here it is on the pictures with the AZT-22 Maidanak. Comet was opened with help of CoLiTec software from Vadim Savanevich and his team!"
Igor Molotov, ISON
"Yes, without Igor it would not be a telescope and comet. Without Vadim Savanevich program it would not be a comet too. Well, thank you all of course (as in Oscars). Well, thank you, I still decided to finish last night such a success."
Leonid Elenin, ISON
"Congratulations to Igor Molotov, developers of the CoLiTec search program, Yura Ivashchenko, who supported these developments, and thanks Jure Kruglomu, who made this night so happy for many!"
