Astro Imaging Toolbox
Two products. One astrophotography workflow philosophy.

Astro software for real imaging workflows.

Astro Imaging Toolbox brings together practical, offline-first tools for planning, processing and understanding astrophotography data. The ecosystem currently has two live products: the full Astro Imaging Toolbox desktop suite and Seestar Companion for Seestar and Universal FITS workflows.

The Products

Each product has a clear job. One is the full astrophotography suite. The other is a focused decision assistant for FITS sessions.

Astro Imaging Toolbox stacking interface
Main desktop suite

Astro Imaging Toolbox

The Windows command center for planning, stacking, calibration, stretching, gradient correction, star separation, denoise, detail recovery, Solar Insight, Lunar Atlas Pro, Seestar ingest and export.

  • Best for deep-sky, solar, planetary, lunar and full processing workflows.
  • Designed to reduce app switching across a full imaging session.
  • AIT 2.4.0 adds Lunar Atlas Pro with automatic landmark matching and a separate 3D Solar System viewer.

Seestar Companion stack recommendation
FITS session intelligence

Seestar Companion

Built around Seestar workflows, but useful beyond Seestar through Universal FITS mode. Analyze any valid FITS dataset, monitor live folders and decide which frames are worth stacking.

  • Best for session quality, frame diagnostics and stack decisions.
  • Supports Seestar folders, custom archives and generic FITS datasets.
  • One-time purchase for Windows and macOS.

Which Product Do I Need

A simple way to choose without decoding feature lists.

Your situation

You want one Windows suite for planning, stacking, solving, cleanup, masks, gradients, mosaics, planetary work and export.

Choose AIT

Astro Imaging Toolbox is the broad workflow environment. It is the product for end-to-end astrophotography work.

Why

It replaces the "small utility for every step" feeling with one coherent desktop suite.

Your situation

You already have FITS frames and want to know what is good, borderline, weak, worth stacking or worth rejecting.

Choose Seestar Companion

Seestar Companion is the focused decision tool for Seestar folders and Universal FITS datasets.

Why

It helps you understand session quality before you spend time processing the wrong frames.

Your situation

You use Seestar and also want a broader processing, planning and export environment.

Consider both

Use Seestar Companion to judge the session and Astro Imaging Toolbox to continue deeper workflow work.

Why

They solve different parts of the same astrophotography problem: decisions first, processing next.

Why Visitors Can Trust The Ecosystem

Trust is not only visual polish. It is clear ownership, clear licensing, practical documentation and software that solves real observing problems.
