Open Star

This program is in alpha development and is not yet ready for general use.

Open Star interactively reads multiple images of a fixed star field from a designated directory structure, sums them, rescales the sum, and displays it. This has the affect of maintaining the objects in fixed positions ( stars ) in the summed image, while averaging away sensor noise and transient objects ( planes, satellites, UFOs, etc ). The program also supports normalizing hot pixels by subtracting out a dark field image.
