Can I retrieve the raw images and process them myself?

Can I retrieve the raw images and process them myself?

Yes! You can save and process your raw images by inserting a USB key into STELLINA’s dedicated compartment before starting your observation. The retrieved files will be available in the following formats:

  • JPEG: The final images processed automatically by STELLINA.
  • FITS: Raw single-frame images that require manual stacking.
  • TIFF (16-bit, uncompressed): High-quality files for advanced processing.

You can edit these images using specialized software such as PixInsight, Deep Sky Stacker, and Siril.
