AstroForge turns smart-telescope stacks into finished images: in-house ML models for noise and star removal, trained on Seestar data, a professional linear pipeline and AUTO in one click. Pro results without the learning curve.

AstroForge
A 5-minute walkthrough of the standard editing workflow. Rotate, palette, denoise, star separation, sharpen and tone in one pass.
Not generic photo filters. Every step understands astronomical data — noise patterns, star profiles, emission lines. Drag the sliders: all comparisons are real AstroForge output.
Our own ML model was trained on Seestar S50/S30 stacks with their real, measured noise. It works on the raw linear data — before the stretch, where noise can still be separated cleanly — and keeps stars and the faintest filaments intact.

ML Denoise
A second in-house model removes the stars from the linear stack — including saturated giants and stars embedded in nebulosity. Edit the starless nebula and the star layer separately; recombined, you get exactly your original back.

1:1 crops from Seestar stacks · own star-removal model
AstroForge extracts Hα and OIII physically from your colour data, fills the stars out of the line maps and transfers the colour smoothly in OKLab. No invented signal — just a balanced palette, 60 % intensity by default and adjustable at any time.
OriginalHOO
AUTO renders small previews of the real pipeline and picks slider values by measured targets: sky level, no clipped highlights, no neon colours, controlled noise. 24 adaptive Looks give you a finished style in one click — and every value stays editable.
Everything that belongs in linear data happens there: satellite trails, hot pixels, banding, light pollution, gradient, deconvolution and noise reduction — only then comes the stretch. Deconvolution measures a field-variable PSF and treats stars and nebula separately.

LoadedDetail
NGC 7000, 100 % crop: loaded vs. after denoising, star separation and detail (deconvolution, nebula structure, HDR). The detail effects are computed on the starless layer, so stars keep clean edges.
Every format carries an embedded sRGB ICC profile, 8-bit output is always dithered against banding. Export at original resolution or up to 4K and 8K — optionally with annotations.
The built-in illustrated manual walks you through every step — with screenshots from your language version of the app. AstroForge itself detects your system language.
Simple mode with four sliders and AUTO, or a full L/R/G/B curve. Selective HSL across 8 colour bands.
Spectrophotometric colour calibration via Gaia DR3 for physically correct star colours.
Plate solving and labels for up to 500 objects per field — all 110 Messier objects, with type and magnitude.
Detects and removes satellite trails, hot and cold pixels and banding.
Turn your image into an interactive 3D scene and explore it from every angle.
2× astro upscaling and export at 4K or 8K for prints and posters.
Corrects coloured fringes, lateral chromatic aberration and purple star edges.
Crop with eight handles, rotate in 90° steps, add text annotations in 14 fonts.
