Further use of AstroEdit on Seestar stacked and saved results

Workflow processing an image downloaded to the Seestar S30-controlling iPad upon termination of 62 minutes of live-stacking:

Click on an image to get a closer view

The image loaded int AstroEdit has the watermark at the bottom which needs to be cropped out. This is why it may be better to set the Seestar not to save with a watermark


The image is set for cropping

The watermark is cropped out

The cropped image ready for processing

Removing the stars

The removed stars

Contrast increased on the starless image

The stars put back into the image

The stars reduced in AI mode (maybe a bit too much but to emphasize the effect)

The Original image

The processed image

A blink comparison of the original and processed images

There are more things that could have been done to the image, but this simply illustrates some of the things that are possible with AstroEdit in iOS.
