Apply advanced MaxIm DL technology to your DSLR imaging.

Produce Stunning Astrophotos

Taking your images is just half the fun. Use MaxDSLR to turn your raw frames into a gorgeous celestial vista.

Using RAW frames eliminates the artifacts caused by in-camera processing, including debayer and JPEG artifacts, and increases the available bit depth. First use MaxDSLRs calibration tools to quickly and easily remove bias, dark current, and fix flat-fielding errors. Then transform the raw "Bayer Matrix" image into a color frame. You can process dozens of images in one batch using the Command Sequence window.

Next, you'll want to stack dozens of images to produce a composite long exposure image. A single command will stack all of your images, with automatic alignment to remove any drift.

Now all that remains is to process your image to final form. Use Range Restricted Filters^TM to sharpen bright areas of the image, and smooth the faint, noisy background detail. Then use the Curves command to fine-tune your image for optimum display.
