What does Star Trail Photo Stacker do?
Combines aligned fixed-camera exposures with a transparent per-channel maximum model. It does not register stars, remove aircraft, correct gaps or diagnose hot pixels automatically.
What should I open or paste?
Open supported still PNG, JPEG or WebP images. Geometry and source markers can be edited in the workspace. The worked example defines the supported input fields. Edit its values, run the workflow and inspect the method notes before exporting. Each selected file must be nonempty and at most 25 MiB, with at most 30 files and 80 MiB total. Image jobs use up to 12 still frames, six million pixels per image and 18 million total pixels. Individual format inspectors may apply stricter limits.
What results can I export?
The Export view includes the task-specific artifacts listed for your actual result, a typed JSON report, a CSV table and a complete ZIP. Save project stores editable input and settings; selected binary sources are represented by fingerprints and must be reselected. Secret-option values are excluded from saved projects.
Does it upload files, run commands or change a live system?
