Rapide et efficace

Une application simple qui donne de très bon résultats en des temps records ! Merci

Thank you very much!

Great for quick Seestar FITS edits

This is a great app - nice one developer! I can quickly export raw files from my Seestar, save to my phone and then import the fit file into this app. It’s lets you do some quick edits to bring out details, colour etc, even gradient reduction. You can then export as a tif so you can further edit in Lightroom. There are loads of features. Denoise wasn’t quite strong enough but overall this is a great app for a quick mobile workflow. There is nothing else available like it - I’d highly recommend for any Seestar or Dwarf user if wanting to edit on the go

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your comment. Glad you like it. More update about AI Hubble is coming soon. Have fun!

Still crashes after selecting AI and star reduction

This is a useful tool for quickly editing images…when it doesn’t crash. The most recent update was supposed to fix the crashes, but it doesn’t. 75% of the time, when I open an image and try to reduce the number of stars through AI, it crashes. I can’t use a program that constantly crashes, especially the features I bought it for.
UPDATE 04-09-26: The problem seems to be more stable now. The developer asked me to upload a few images I had edited with this program and he tweaked it. I find myself using this program for doing quick edits. It works well for that.

Pretty good but…

Really cool tool but the AI tool still makes it crash after the bug fixes.

Awesome

Works very well for what it cost and the platform it’s on. I’m happy with it.

Files are grayed out, no reply to requests for help

Yong Chang Loh, please reply to my requests for help opening .fit files. All files are grayed out and I can only open the jpegs saved in Apple Photos. This seriously decreases the usefulness of the app.

Response from developer

Hi. I can help if you send me your fits file to ustransit74@gmail.com. I will look into your files and provide you an update. Thank you. PS. I have uploaded version 2.60 for Apple review. This update fixes the grayed out fits file.

Cannot open files, no response to emails

I really want to make Astroedit my primary post-processing app for Seestar images, but as it stands it works only with pictures saved to Apple Photos, and that is a major problem, since they are only jpegs.

When I try to open files they are all grayed out.

Two emails to the contact address have received no reply, and that is very disappointing.

Have you send to ustransit74@gmail.com? I have not received your email. Thanks. PS. I have uploaded version 2.60 for Apple review. This update fixes the grayed out fits file.

Very cool

Good Work. Hope you keep updating. I use a dwarf mini

Thank you!

Crashes and doesn’t accept FITS

AI satellites and oval crashes all the time and the app doesn’t seem to accept FITS files and that’s the only reason I purchased it

Response from developer

The crash is usually due to out of memory. I have just upload a new update that uses less memory. Please try it and let me know how it goes at ustransit74@gmail.com. Thank you very much.

Crashes

It does work but on my device (17 pro so plenty of power) it always crashes on wavelet and sometimes AI. Could do with nicer UI bring it into 2026, current look reminds me of iPhone 3GS, also work the bugs out.

Meh, not that great

Buggy app locks up frequently. Results aren’t much different from the iPhone photo editor. I assumed the app analyzed the Seestar S50 photo and was one step processing but it’s not.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your comment. Not sure if I understand you. Seestar app has a denoise function that automatically removes noise, gradient and adjust contrast. Is that what you are looking for? Talk to me at ustransit74@gmail.com.

Awesome

This is an amazing piece of software. I am extremely impressed and it really lives up to “Simple and Quick”. Sad I can’t give more stars. Any chance we can read fits files for stacking? Thanks so much for this APP!

Response from developer

Thank you very much. I do have the idea to stack fits file for the comet. I am waiting for the feedback of the current jpeg comet stacking. If you like to support fits file stacking development, you can subscribe at the help section in the app. Talk to me at ustransit74@gmail.com

Top ! Version française ?

Cette application offre un rendu immédiat, superbe et riche en couleurs. Il manque juste une version française. Pourriez-vous y travailler s’il vous plaît ?

Response from developer

Thank you very much. We will look into its implementation!

So cool!!!

If your are a beginner or even an advanced astrophotographer, this app is really cool and makes things really easy.

Response from developer

Thank you very much. Glad it helps you!

Unusable

Unfortunately the app crashes constantly before I can do anything.

Response from developer

Could you email me at ustransit74@gmail.com for support? I should be able to help you. Do provide the device model and detail on when the app crashes e.g. crash when opening the app? Thank you very much.

First quick try on a couple of images

First quick try on a couple of images, it just keeps crashing after a few minutes. Looks like it could be good if it didn’t crash.

Response from developer

When does it crash? And what is the device? Email me at ustransit74@gmail.com for support. Do attach one of your image. Thank you.

Wow!

Impressive indeed. I must say I was hesitant and I’m still learning , but AstroEdit is clearly something the developer is putting a lot of work into. Being able to get colors and depth straight from the Seestar is incredibly convenient. Also pleased to see the developer is still pushing updates. For the price, you simply need to get it. I have a great image of M45 I’m quite proud of. AstroEdit was able to get the blue isolated to the right spots, without making the rest of the objects oversaturated. Maybe I’m not using the right terms, but all I know is the image of M45 after AstroEdit looks just like the example image in the Seestar app. Fantastic work to the person behind this app! Developer: I just finished a stacked image of V398 Cephei NGC7822 on my Seestar S50 that I would love to submit if it would help with your training tools/app development. Please let me know. Great app!!!

Sorry for the late reply as I am working on a new feature. Yes please. Send your image to ustransit74@gmail.com and thank you very much!

Amazing

This app is absolutely amazing. It transformed my first Seestar images into ready to share photos in minutes. I wish I could show some examples here :-) There are so many options, including seamlessly removing and adding back the stars. I have been watching videos on astrophotography editing on YouTube and there are many programs that can be used on a PC (some free). However, editing for free involves using several programs, and the cost of paid editing software is significant ($ and learning). Either way, the complicated workflow is a drawback. This app was super easy to use. Some functions may be complex so you have to know a bit about what each is doing or just try it and see. It’s easy to undo changes and even flash back to the original photo. There is a brief tutorial. For just a few dollars, this app is well worth the cost.

Thank you very much!

Easy to use and surprisingly good results!

I was a little sceptical tbh when I first saw this app but having used it a few times now I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality of the output, it’s not going to replace your normal, fairly long winded Astro workflow but as a quick and dirty solution it is pretty damn good!
