About:
Skymaker is a specialized astronomical image simulation program designed to generate synthetic images of the sky. It accurately models point sources and extended objects while accounting for various observational parameters like seeing conditions and background noise. This tool is essential for testing and validating astronomical data processing pipelines.
Key Features:
  • High-fidelity image simulation
  • Accurate modeling of PSF and noise
  • Supports both point and extended sources
  • Configurable observational parameters
  • Integration with other Astromatica tools
Use Cases:
  • Testing astronomical image processing pipelines
  • Validating source detection algorithms
  • Planning telescope observations
  • Creating training data for ML-based astronomy tools
Alternatives:
  • GALSIM – More focused on galaxy simulations, Python-based
  • MOFFAT – Simpler PSF simulation tool with fewer features
