CCDStack was built from the ground up to simplify the image processing workflow while employing next generation technologies to improve the quality of your images. From calibration to LRGB color composites, CCDStack provides all the tools you need process you astronomical data into outstanding images.
CCDStack is a native 32-bit processing application that utilizes a powerful image manager to place all you images in a stack. Once your images are loaded up in this stack, processing can be performed on your images as one group of data. This allows for new, advanced image processing techniques not before available in commercial software.
CCDStack provides all the tools you need for your image processing workflow:
- Real-Time DDP Display
- Dark, Flat and Bias frame calibration
- Star Bloom Removal
- Image alignment and registration
- Re-sampling of registered images
- Image normalization
- Advanced Data Rejection
- Image Combine
- Gradient Removal
- Deconvolution and Sharpening
- Full LRGB Color Capabilities
CCDWARE products are available here for download in fully working trial versions. You can freely download and install these versions on your computer for evaluation. You can evaluate a program during a trial period after the installation without any cost or obligation. Payment is required if you wish to continue using it beyond the trial period.

Image Data:
CCDStack accepts image-file formats FITS, SBIG, TIFF, JPEG, and BMP. Depending on the format, CCDStack reads 8, 16 and 32 bit monochrome files to create 32-bit floating-point image data and 24, 48, and 96 bit color files to create three 32-bit floating-point data structures.
The image data data is a 32-bit floating-point array that is the underlying base data for the image. Most of the data procedures operate on the image data but most of the image display function
