FITS processor
Open a stacked FITS image and get an automatic starting result: color decoding when present, a conservative sky correction, stretch, and gentle finishing. Then compare, adjust, and export. Your image stays on this device.
Your capture plan is ready
Your FITS file is processed on this device. Astrojoe syncs your plan and processing recipe, not the raw capture, unless you explicitly choose a cloud feature in the future.
City skyglow adds a bright, tilted wash over the whole frame. This step removes that gradient, flattens the background and neutralizes its color — the single biggest improvement for light-polluted captures.
Every object type needs a different stretch. We apply a conservative starting point tuned for your target — you can always push it further later.
Balanced color, smoother background, a touch of contrast. Hold the compare button to see how far your data has come, then export.
Your image is ready.

ADVANCED CONTROLS
Works with uncompressed stacked mono, planar RGB, and Bayer FITS images. Automatic processing is a starting point, not calibration or stacking. Dark/flat calibration, star removal, photometric color calibration, and 16-bit TIFF export are not included — join the waitlist to hear when they land.
Shot noise, satellites and Bortle 7 skyglow sold separately. ✦
