About:
Lynkeos is a specialized astronomical image processing tool designed for stacking and enhancing video frames captured from webcams or planetary cameras. It enables amateur astronomers to significantly improve signal-to-noise ratio and bring out faint details in celestial objects like planets, the Moon, and bright deep-sky objects. The software provides essential processing workflows for aligning, stacking, and post-processing astronomical video data.
Key Features:
  • Live video capture and frame stacking
  • Alignment and stacking of image sequences
  • Post-processing tools including wavelets and deconvolution
  • Support for FITS and common image formats
Use Cases:
  • Planetary imaging: Stacking video captures of Jupiter, Saturn, or the Moon to sharpen details
  • Lunar imaging: Processing high-frame-rate video to enhance surface features and crater details
  • Deep-sky imaging: Stacking long-exposure webcam frames for bright nebulae and star clusters
Alternatives:
  • AutoStakkert! – Windows-only alternative with similar planetary stacking capabilities
  • PIPP – Planetary Imaging PreProcessor for sorting and pre-alignment
  • RegiStax – Classic Windows software for wavelet-based image enhancement
