## What is PlanetEdit?

AstroEdit Planet is a very simple 4in1 app to stack planetary video. It will automatically crop the video and center the planet. It works on video that has planet moving across the view or planet centred in the view.  When you open the app, it auto loads a sample Saturn video. Tap Stack button to begin! 

PlanetEdit integrates the four legacy desktop software into a single delicate mobile app. Traditionally, astronomer has to install 4 different programs to process planetary video. They are (in process sequence):

1. PPIP for cropping video
2. AutoStakkert! for stacking frames
3. Registax for wavelet sharpening
4. Photoshop for RGB alignment and coloring

Features:
- Open video or image.
- Auto crop video and center frame.
- Auto set alignment points for stacking.
- Lucky stacking slider.
- Real time update of stacking result.
- Use 2 finger to pinch zoom, 1 finger to drag and 1 finger to long press to compare a frame(best quality). 
- RGB alignment.
- Basic image processing like saturation, bright, contrast and hue.
- 5 wavelet layers to extract detail and denoise.
- Save edited image to photo.

PlnetEdit has been tested for video capture in seestar S30, S50 smart telescope, ZWO camera, refractive telescope 80mm and Dobson 200mm telescope. Email me at ustransit74@gmail.com if you need any assistance. Attached a short planet video file if necessary.

### 1/5 — Does totally nothing

*2026-08-13*

Stays indefinitely on Jupiter demo no matter what I am trying to open. Is there a zero star option for review?

**Developer response:** Can you email me your video? I will see what is the problem and provide an app update. Ustransit74@gmail.com.

### 1/5 — Apparemment intéressant

*2026-04-24*

Je charge la video de la lune et pourtant rien ne se passe 
Je garde l image de présentation
Le bug est toujours présent 
Dommage

**Developer response:** Can you email me your video? I will see what is the problem and provide an app update. Ustransit74@gmail.com.

### 4/5 — Lots of potential for Apple users especially!

*2026-02-09*

I’m really excited about this app, I’ve been looking for something like this for a while.

Unfortunately though I can’t get the app to load any files. I’ve been trying with HEVC files of Jupiter taken with my iPhone through my telescope. Also with videos converted to H.264. But after I select the video it just returns to the default Jupiter file.

Help with this would be greatly appreciated! I also sent an email about this with more information to the email you provided in the other review.

Good luck on the development, excited for the progress!

**Developer response:** Try a shorter video like 3 seconds? I have not received your email. Ustransit74@gmail.com

### 1/5 — Went to stack a video of the moon and app add 560 photos of a blurry Jupiter?

*2026-01-27*

Just like the title says.

**Developer response:** Hi. It is not tested on moon. Maybe you can email me the moon video and I can provide you an update for moon stacking. Ustransit74@gmail.com PS I have fixed the saving bug in the version 1.2.
