DESKTOP APPLICATION / IMAGE TOOLS
The problem behind the project
Astronomy image files carry both scientific image data and acquisition metadata. This desktop application makes those files easier to inspect without turning a quick check into a full image-processing session.
What it includes
- Multi-image XISF and multi-HDU FITS inspection.
- Linear and Auto-STF display with zoom, pan, and pixel-value readout.
- Searchable keywords, image statistics, XISF properties, and raw headers.
- Validated FITS-keyword editing with structural keywords protected.
- XISF-to-FITS export, batch conversion, and optional external ASTAP plate solving.
Built with
Python · PySide6 / Qt · NumPy · Astropy · xisf
Project context
A small desktop tool rather than a complete processing suite. Optional plate solving requires a separate ASTAP installation. Use copies of important data when editing metadata or converting files.
