N.I.N.A. plugin registry

theatr.us for N.I.N.A.

AutoPierCam adds a read-only Pier Camera panel to the Imaging tab. Install the AutoPierCam capture agent separately; the N.I.N.A. plugin connects to its preview without opening the camera.

This repository also publishes Chatstronomy, which bridges N.I.N.A. with Discord and Matrix through Chatstronomy Hub or a locally run bot, and PSF Guard Sync, which synchronizes N.I.N.A. Target Scheduler and capture data with PSF Guard. Field Kit adds Alpaca safety monitoring and the AF above HFR sequencer trigger; see its setup and usage guide. Regain is retryable, fault-tolerant camera capture: the vendor SDK runs in an isolated worker, downloads are retried, and the direct USB drivers can re-read a frame still held in camera memory instead of repeating the exposure. Its drivers for rotators, filter wheels, focusers and flat panels span more than one vendor, with the same setup across N.I.N.A., Windows ASCOM and a cross-platform Alpaca server. See the Regain documentation, source and releases. Regain is independent and is not affiliated with ZWO.

Starfront TargetScheduler Collab connects a telescope to a Starfront collaboration. It reports where the mount points, and can pull tonight's assigned panels into Target Scheduler. Built for the Starfront app, N.I.N.A. and Target Scheduler, following the AstroCollab API spec. See the setup guide.

PSF Guard Director 0.1.0.2 is an experimental acquisition preview. It requires N.I.N.A. 3.3 nightly #58 (3.3.0.1058) or newer. It includes pairing, local target scheduling, native N.I.N.A. actions and live/deferred check-ins. Real-sky full-night acceptance remains open; do not use it for unattended imaging. It is separate from PSF Guard Sync. See the preview releases.
