About:
Siril is a specialized astronomical image processing program designed for post-processing FITS, SER, and other astronomical image sequences. It provides tools for aligning, stacking, and enhancing images to reveal faint deep-sky objects. Its main value is automating complex workflows to produce high-quality results from raw telescope data.
Key Features:
  • Automatic and manual registration of star images
  • Stacking and calibration of image sequences
  • Photometric and astrometric plate solving
  • Background extraction and noise reduction tools
  • Command-line interface for scripting
Use Cases:
  • Processing deep-sky astrophotography data
  • Stacking multiple exposures to reduce noise
  • Calibrating raw images with darks and flats
Alternatives:
  • PixInsight – Commercial software with more advanced tools but higher cost
  • GIMP – General-purpose editor lacking specialized astro workflows
