✦ Astrophotography Without Limits

AstroMax Studio

Professional tools for astrophotographers — a smart session planning app and advanced processing scripts that pull every detail from your deep-sky data.

Built by astrophotographers
for astrophotographers

AstroMax was born out of a passion for exploring the cosmos and the frustration of not having tools that fit the real needs of amateur and semi-professional astrophotographers.

🔭

AstroMax App

A comprehensive desktop application for planning and managing astrophotography sessions. It integrates target visibility, weather conditions, field rotation, and intelligent scheduling across an entire night — everything in one place.

Processing Scripts

A collection of advanced Python and Bash scripts that automate the most demanding steps in post-processing. From automated stacking and calibration to custom stretch algorithms that extract the maximum from your data.

🌌

App Development

The application was developed through a multi-month iterative process, testing every feature during real imaging nights. The focus is on a clean, intuitive interface backed by professional power — no unnecessary complexity.

📜

Script Development

Each script was created as a solution to a specific problem encountered in the field. They have been tested on hundreds of hours of raw data across different cameras, telescopes, and conditions — from light-polluted skies to dark sites.
