Anomalous

Unlock the full potential of your astrophotography with Anomalous. Designed specifically for amateur astronomers, astrophotographers, and deep-sky researchers, Anomalous is a powerful image analysis, plate solving, and anomaly detection tool right in your pocket.

Whether you're identifying known deep-sky objects or searching for undocumented structures, Anomalous bridges the gap between raw data and scientific discovery. Import your frames, map them to the night sky, and let advanced algorithms scan for the unknown.

✨ **KEY FEATURES**

🔭 **Instant Plate Solving**

Automatically plate solve your images to map exact celestial coordinates. Use the blazing-fast native offline solver (with downloadable star indexes ranging from Wide to All-Sky) for remote dark sites, or explicitly upload to Astrometry.net for online solving.

🌌 **Massive Celestial Catalogs**

Instantly annotate your images with a comprehensive suite of nearly 20,000 built-in objects, including OpenNGC (NGC, IC, Messier, Caldwell), Sh2, Barnard, LDN, LBN, RCW, vdB, and Abell. Expand your search dynamically with deep online integration to VizieR, SIMBAD, Gaia DR3, 2MASS, and the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED).

🔍 **DeepScan Anomaly Detection**

Go beyond known catalogs. Anomalous uses multiscale wavelet detection, pixel analysis, and localized machine learning models to identify undocumented or anomalous structures in your deep space frames. Uncover something new hidden in your own data.

🗺️ **Multi-Wavelength Sky Surveys**

Compare your images against professional survey data seamlessly. Fade your field of view into optical, infrared, UV, Hydrogen-alpha, OIII, X-ray, and gamma-ray surveys (including Pan-STARRS DR1 and DSS2) to cross-reference your findings while maintaining your exact coordinates and viewport.

📊 **Scientific Reporting & Export**

Turn your discoveries into actionable data. Generate beautiful, view-aware scientific PDF reports detailing unknown objects, complete with survey color comparisons. Export data to ZIP, image, or raw data formats for further research, all saved locally to an organized archive.

📸 **AstroBin Integration**

Connect directly to AstroBin to browse, import, and analyze published images directly within the app.

🛠️ **PRO-LEVEL TOOLS & FORMATS**

• **Extensive Format Support:** Import linear or stretched FITS, XISF, TIFF, PNG, and JPEG files.

• **Raw Processing:** Built-in Auto Stretch with independent channel adjustments and on-the-fly Bayer-mosaic debayering (RGGB, BGGR, GRBG, GBRG) for monochrome raw files.

• **Night Vision Friendly:** Multiple UI themes including OLED Black, Red OLED (for preserving night vision at the telescope), and Dim Teal.

• **Privacy & Offline First:** Core plate solving, catalog annotation, and anomaly detection can run entirely offline—perfect for remote imaging sessions without cell service.
