SalsaJ is a software dedicated to image handling and analysis in the classroom. It is particularly adapted to professional astronomy images. It is written in Java and can be used on several platforms for which there is a Java environment. It is based on ImageJ, a free Java software created by Wayne Rasband (Reseach Service Branch, National Institute of Mental health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA).

USB-LPT converter
In order to circumvent problem that modern laptops do not have LPT ports, necessary to control long exposure webcams, we have manufactured special USB-LPT converter (standard converters don't do the job) and new version of SalsaJ . Together, converter with new SalsaJ allow to control webcam through 2 USB ports. Note that the USB-LPT converter works only with Windows operating system, see also detailed description and installation guide .
Schools participating in the project should contact national coordinators, others are invited to contact the Astrokrak internet store at http://www.euhou.net/astrokrak@astrokrak.pl .
