Siril

Siril is a fantastic application made for amateur astronomers and anyone who loves photographing the night sky. It comes packed with features that help you process astrophotography images like a pro!

Astrophotography Made Easy

This software uses smart image-processing algorithms to edit those stunning deep sky photographs. One of its coolest features is the ability to detect and register stars in your images. It does this using two main methods: Discrete Fourier Transformations and Point Spread Functions, making the whole star detection process super automatic.

Manual Alignment for Better Results

If you happen to have some lower-quality images, don't worry! Siril also offers manual alignment. This means you can take those tricky photos that didn't get corrected automatically and adjust them yourself. It's great because it gives you control over your edits!

Powerful Image Operations

Siril allows you to do all sorts of operations like conversion, stacking, alignment, and even enhancing your images. So whether you're just starting or are a seasoned astrophotographer, you'll find this tool handy.

Supported Formats

The main image format that Siril works with is FITS, which is 16-bit unsigned. But if you've got images in other formats, no worries! Siril has a built-in converter to help you out.

Image Quality Considerations

You should know that while Siril does support 32-bit images (which many astrophotographers use), loading these can mess with the quality of your final results. So it's best to stick with what works!
