First session free
Send me your raw telescope files. You get one finished image back within 24 hours.
Seestar, DSLR or astro camera — send the frames exactly as they came off the camera and they come back as one clean, colour-calibrated image, ready to share. The first session is free. After that it's €29 a session, and every one is worked on by hand.

This is what comes back.
Real telescope data — the M8 Lagoon and M20 Trifid nebulae. On the left, one raw light frame as the camera recorded it, green cast and all. On the right, the same night after stacking, gradient removal and colour calibration.
1 raw frame
Your finished image
Drag the handle. One frame against the finished image — same data, nothing added, nothing borrowed from another night.
How it works
Email me a link to your frames
Drop the files in Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer and send the link to [email protected]. Nothing is uploaded to this site.
I process it by hand
Frames aligned and stacked, the sky gradient removed, colour calibrated against real star colour, then stretched until the faint detail is actually visible.
Your image comes back within 24 hours
One finished image, full resolution, ready to post — plus a short note on what your data did well and what would make the next night better.
What to send
If you are not sure you have the right files, send what you have and ask — that costs nothing either.
Send this
- Your light frames, as they came off the camera — FITS, RAW (CR2, NEF, ARW) or TIFF.
- Any darks, flats and bias frames you took. Helpful, not required.
- On a Seestar: the whole folder for that target, sub-frames included, rather than only the app's finished picture.
- One line on the gear and the night: what you shot with, roughly how long each exposure was, and how many you kept.
- A link to a folder — Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer.
Good to know
- One target per session. A second target is a second session.
- Your files stay in your own cloud folder. Nothing is stored on this site.
- Your image is yours — post it, print it, sell it. No watermark on what you get back.
- If the data can't be saved, you'll be told why instead of being sent a polished excuse.
- Everything is done by hand, so a session is answered personally, not by a robot.
Your first session
Free
One target, processed by hand, back within 24 hours. Nothing to pay and nothing to cancel. In return, the before-and-after may be shown on this site or in our portfolio — always with you credited as the author.
Every session after that
€29 per session
One-time, per target. No subscription, and no session you didn't ask for. VAT is added at checkout where it applies.
Three sessions a week, no more. Every image is worked on by hand, and three is what fits in a week without the 24 hours slipping.
Send your filesSend your files
One email is the whole process. There is no form to fill in, no account to make and no upload to wait for.
- Paste the link to your folder.
- Say what you shot it with.
- That's it — your image comes back within 24 hours.
Three sessions a week is the limit, because every one is processed by hand. If the week is already full, you'll get a reply telling you which week your files can be taken.
Prefer to write it yourself? Just email [email protected] with the link. Your address is used to send your image back and nothing else.
Honest questions, honest answers
Is the first session really free?
Yes. Your first set of raw files is processed and returned at no charge — nothing to pay, nothing to cancel, no card asked for. If you like what comes back, the next session is €29.
How long does it take?
Your finished image comes back within 24 hours of the session starting. If something about your data means it will take longer, you'll hear that before the 24 hours are up, not after.
How many sessions do you take?
Three a week. Every image is worked on by hand, so three is what fits in a week without the quality dropping or the 24 hours slipping. If the week is already full when your files arrive, you'll get a reply telling you which week they can be taken — there is no queue to join and no place to hold.
Which cameras and telescopes does this work with?
Smart telescopes such as the Seestar S50 and S30, DSLR and mirrorless cameras on a tripod or a tracker, and dedicated astro cameras. What matters is that you kept the individual exposures, not just the finished picture the device made for you.
What exactly do I send?
Your light frames as they came off the camera — FITS, RAW (CR2, NEF, ARW) or TIFF — plus any darks, flats and bias frames if you took them. Put them in a Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer folder and email the link to [email protected].
Do I need an account or any software?
No. There is no signup, no upload on this site and nothing to install. Your files stay in your own cloud folder, you send a link, and an image comes back by email.
What if my data isn't good enough?
Then you'll be told that plainly, along with what went wrong and what to change next time out — and it still costs nothing. A flattering excuse would be worse than an honest answer.
Will my image be shown anywhere?
For a free session it may be: the before/after can appear in the gallery, always with your name or handle as the author. For a paid session, only if you say yes. Either way, one message and it comes down.
What about the phone app I keep seeing?
That's a separate thing, still being built — it's for shooting the moon, the aurora and meteors on a phone. This page is for the raw files you already have. You can join the app waitlist as well if you want both.
