| Purpose | BXA connects Xspec and Sherpa X-ray spectral analysis environments to UltraNest for Bayesian parameter estimation and model comparison. | Sky Guide identifies stars, constellations, planets, and satellites when users hold the app overhead. |
| Support | The project directs users to file bug reports and feedback as GitHub issues and asks bug reports to include operating system, Sherpa or Xspec version, setup details, and reproduction steps. | Fifth Star Labs links to a Sky Guide Support site from its product page. |
