Can I retrieve the raw images and process them myself?

Yes, just plug a USB key into the STELLINA compartment before the start of your observation to retrieve the files in the following format:
  • The final photos processed by STELLINA are available in jpg format.
  • Raw images are available in fits format (single files to stack yourself) and Tiff (16-bit uncompressed file). You can process them with software such as PixInsight, Deep Sky Stacker, Siril

We have created a comparison guide to help you choose the format and image processing software here.
