DeepSkyStacker

Simplifies steps of deep sky pictures
DeepSkyStacker is a program designed for astronomers, astrophysicists and all those who take pictures of the night sky. If you have different pictures of stars, such as light frames, darks frames, offset/bias frames and flat frames, you need to load them all into the program and wait for the results. The processing process takes a long time, so it is ideal to leave the program working at night.
DeepSkyStacker significantly simplifies the process of stacking and processing multiple astrophotography images to enhance detail and reduce noise.

DeepSkyStacker is an image stacking and processing software for astrophotography. It is used to combine multiple exposures of the same object to reduce noise, increase the signal-to-noise ratio, and improve overall image quality. It has features such as automatic detection and rejection of bad pixels, automatic alignment of images, and advanced noise reduction techniques. DeepSkyStacker can also be used to create star-trails and correct distortion.

DeepSkyStacker is a great imaging software that allows you to quickly and easily stack many images of the night sky. It has many great features such as auto-alignment, noise reduction, and a variety of filters to choose from. I found the user interface to be very intuitive and easy to navigate. It also allows you to save your settings for future stacking sessions. The stacking process itself was fast and the results were quite good. Overall, I found DeepSkyStacker to be a good tool for astrophotographers.
