Stacking, Aligning and Blinking/Animation

  • Stack from file or open images
  • Align via automatic star matching with improved star identification, image translation, rotation, and automatic scaling — blink images against those from other telescopes or POSS
  • Manual image alignment with 1-star, 2-star, or overlay mode. Automatic centoids for star alignment, and automatic "next" function.
  • Align via astrometric plate solution and PinPoint LE
  • Planet auto-alignment
  • Set the reference image (stationary)
  • Rejected images marked with X strikethrough
  • Bicubic or bilinear resampling
  • Combine with sum, average, median, sigma clip, or standard deviation masking; normalization available
  • Adjustable animation/blinking speed with on-the-fly image equalization, linked quick-stretch
  • Color stack using RGB, LRGB, CMY, LCMY, and two-color
