Tool for reading/monitoring Elite Dangerous journals for interesting objects. Successor to the original Elite Observatory, rewritten from scratch using .NET 5.0 and AvaloniaUI.

How To Use

Observatory Core differs from the originsl Elite Observatory in that it is a fully generic reader for the Elite Dangerous journal files, passing those events along to plugins to do the actual work.

Observatory will attempt to locate your Elite Dangerous journal location in its default location, though other locations can be specified from the settings in the "Core" application tab. Due to the variety of possible system configurations this automatic detection does not function under Linux, so all Linux users will need to browse for the correct location.

The "Read All" button will read all journal files in the specified folder, handing their contents over to all loaded worker plugins.

For specifics on what each plugin does, please refer to their specific github repositories:
