Siril is an open-source, cross-platform image processing software designed for astrophotography. It is a powerful tool that combines the functionality of many different image processing programs into one.
Siril can be used to process, analyze, and stack astronomical images. It also includes features for creating panoramas, creating animations, and performing photometric measurements.
Siril provides an intuitive, user-friendly graphical user interface for processing astronomical images.
Features:
• Image Processing: Siril provides a comprehensive set of tools for processing and editing astronomical images. It can be used to perform basic tasks such as cropping, rotating, adjusting brightness and contrast, and removing noise. It also includes more advanced features such as deconvolution, unsharp masking, and histogram stretching.
• Image Analysis: Siril provides a suite of tools for analyzing astronomical images. It can be used to measure photometric parameters such as
flux, background noise, and star sizes. It also includes features for measuring star positions and performing photometric measurements.
