Readable
Typography first. Minimal visual noise. Data should be easier to understand than the interface itself.
Open data for astrophotography.
Catalogs, annotation, metadata, and publishing tools for people who would rather understand the sky than fight the software.
Principles
Reproducible
Catalogs are generated from authoritative sources rather than maintained by hand.
Open
Everything possible should be inspectable, scriptable, and reusable.

- Modern NGC / IC catalog generation
- Reflection, dark, and molecular cloud catalogs
