Astro Imaging Toolbox now includes a dedicated solar analysis workspace for images, videos, Solar Archive comparison, timelapse creation, prominence inspection and scientific reporting.
- Automatic solar disk detection and pixel-to-kilometer scale calibration.
- Sunspot group detection with area, diameter and Earth-scale estimation.
- Prominence markers, direct measurements and manual arc measurements.
- Scientific CSV, PDF report, annotated image and social share card exports.
Why astrophotographers choose AIT
Astro Imaging Toolbox is built for astrophotographers who want a faster, cleaner workflow from planning to final output. Instead of juggling disconnected applications, you work inside one suite designed to reduce friction, save time and keep your sessions consistent.
One workflow, not twelve disconnected apps
Plan the target, inspect the sky, ingest the files, stack the data, solve the frame, remove gradients, build masks, and deliver the result without constantly changing software and mental context.
Made for actual nights, not only lab demos
Observation planning, Night Vision Mode, live-friendly dashboards, Seestar ingest, deep-sky stacking, planetary handling and export tools are all part of the same practical operating environment.
Professional feel without losing control
You get a cleaner shell, stronger tool consistency, and powerful processing workflows without being boxed into a simplistic toy experience.
Bottom line: AIT helps you spend less time managing software and more time planning, capturing and improving your data.
Core workflows in one suite
From target selection to final export, AIT covers the key stages of an astrophotography session inside one consistent desktop environment.
Deep-sky workflow
- Choose the right target with Observation Planner and Sky Atlas.
- Use Mosaic Planner Pro when a single frame is not enough.
- Ingest or monitor incoming data with Seestar Ingest when needed.
- Stack in Astro Stacking PRO with target-aware presets.
- Refine with Plate Solver, Gradient Hunter, and Auto-StarMask Studio.
- Export with Image Converter or keep the result inside the suite.
Planetary and lunar workflow
- Normalize or batch-convert source videos with Video Converter.
- Open planetary or lunar captures in AstroStack Studio - Planetary.
- Extract, rank, retain, and process the best frames.
- Use the suite as the operating layer around acquisition, selection, and delivery.
Built for the jobs you do most
These are some of the core areas where Astro Imaging Toolbox helps reduce friction and improve day-to-day astrophotography work.
Planning and field prep
Observation Planner, Sky Atlas, TiltMap Pro, Mosaic Planner Pro
Choose the right target, frame it properly, inspect the field, and even diagnose optical tilt before committing to a long session.
Capture-side workflow
Seestar Ingest and dashboard orchestration
Monitor incoming files, keep sessions organized, and move from acquisition to processing without breaking flow.
Deep-sky processing
Stretch Studio, Doctor tools, Astro Stacking PRO, Plate Solver
Stack intelligently, stretch with control, correct gradients, separate stars, denoise, recover detail and keep exports inside one suite.
Planetary and utility layer
Planetary workflow, Video Converter, Image Converter
Prepare capture videos, curate the best frames, and handle batch output without falling back to unrelated desktop utilities.
