Planning and logging astronomical observations via computational astronomy, open data, and public APIs.

🎓 This repo forms a part of my university dissertation that received a final mark of 91%.

Please note that this repository comprises the client of the full distributed client-server architecture that was implemented to make AstroCue function. As with most similar setups, the client is mostly passive, acting as a intermediary between the user and the server (backend).

This is a React and Next.js web app, written in TypeScript. It is hosted on Vercel. It uses React Context for state management, and MUI for UI components. Axios is used for HTTP requests.

The large majority of the logic and interesting implementation details are held and documented in the separate AstroCue-Server repository. There you will also find links to the main dissertation document, as well as a demo video that can be used to see how AstroCue functioned along with its main features and UI elements.

Please note that since receiving grades for this project, AstroCue is no longer active. The webpage (astrocue.co.uk) can still be seen, but new registrations and logins are no longer accepted.
