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.
