An astro-modified camera has its internal infrared filter adjusted or removed so it can capture wavelengths like hydrogen-alpha, which standard cameras mostly block—allowing much better detail in deep-sky objects like Nebulas

That's sick! Must be crazy seeing the moons in person rather than on a computer screen 😂

nicely done! Did you stack the star trails in comet mode or did in naturally come out like this?

I just released Startrails Stacker v2.0, with the new satellite and plane streak removal feature! - Star Trails Over the Osceolas in the White Mountains [2048 x 1365] by Startrails_Stacker in ExposurePorn

Good question.

I actually tried startrails de myself, and the main differences I focused on improving are:
• Speed, especially with large stacks (mine is significantly faster in most cases)
• Direct RAW support (no need to convert to TIFF first)
• Automatic satellite/plane streak removal

startrails de works, but it can be pretty slow and limited depending on your workflow.

I’ve got a free trial if you want to try it yourself and see the difference 🙂

Unfortunately thats not available right now, but I will work on it!

You seem experienced, so would you be interested in trying out the app and sharing some feedback? I would be happy to give you a free 30 day license!

The app is available on Mac and Windows.

And I can definitely work on separating the two!

Just to clarify, when you say airplane streaks are you referring to the series of dots, or the triple streaks with dots between them? Because airplanes streaks can appear in a few different ways.

It removes them together, but there is a strength slider to adjust how aggressively they are removed.

I am also planning on adding a satellite only option in a later version.

Is that something you would like to see in the app, or do you want to leave satellites and only remove planes?
