What is Planetary System Stacker?

The program is mainly targeted at extended objects (moon, sun), but it works as well for planets. Results obtained in many tests show at least the same image quality as with the established software AutoStakkert!3.

The software is written in Python 3. The program uses array operations (OpenCV, numpy) wherever possible to speed up execution. A modern graphical user interface (implemented using the QT5 toolkit) and good usability were high priorities in designing the software. PSS is platform-independent and can be used where Python 3 is available. The software has been tested successfully on Windows, various Linux distributions, and macOS. Starting with version 0.8.0, PSS can be used either in GUI mode or from the command line, e.g. as part of a large automatic workflow.
