StarFlow – Annual License – 1 Device

Description

Annual License for 1 Device

Complete stacking pipeline
– **Calibration** with master bias, dark, flat, and dark-flat frames to remove sensor and optical artifacts.
– **Registration** using star-pattern (asterism) matching for sub-pixel alignment of every frame.
– **Stacking** with a choice of robust methods — sigma-clipping, winsorized clipping, median, and average — with automatic **satellite- and aircraft-trail rejection**.
– **One-shot-colour (OSC/Bayer) support** with debayering.
– **Memory-efficient processing** that keeps large image sets manageable on ordinary hardware.

Non-destructive editing suite
Seven editing stages, applied in a natural left-to-right workflow, each with a live preview:
– **Crop** — trim messy edges left by frame alignment.
– **Gradient** — remove uneven background glow from light pollution or the Moon.
– **Denoise** — wavelet, total-variation, and non-local-means methods.
– **Curves** — professional stretching (Generalised Hyperbolic Stretch, arcsinh, and more) to reveal faint detail.
– **Stars** — reduce or fully remove stars to make your nebula or galaxy stand out.
– **Detail & Deconvolution** — sharpen and enhance real detail with classical upscaling, unsharp masking, and Richardson-Lucy deconvolution.

Tools for serious sessions
– **Multi-session stacking** — combine data captured across several different nights.
– **Batch processing** — process multiple targets unattended.
– **FITS viewer** — open and inspect any image with flexible stretch controls.
– **Master frame builder** — create reusable calibration masters from your calibration shots.

 Privacy by design
– **Your images never leave your computer.** All processing is local.
– **No analytics or telemetry.** StarFlow doesn’t track how you use it.
– The only data sent is what’s needed to validate your licence.
