History

ALS was born from an initial attempt at livestacking using Ekos to control Siril via custom shell scripts. These shell scripts then evolved into Python code. What started as a small toy for a few friends spending their nights photographing the universe has grown into a full-fledged application used worldwide.

Mission

Be dedicated to the principles of open source and sharing
Ensure ALS is available on all platforms
Offer intuitive and user-friendly tools

Our goal is to provide a simple, unobtrusive, and high-performing software. ALS is designed to be intuitive, allowing users to focus on what matters most: capturing the wonders of the night sky. We strive to maintain a balance between ease of use and performance, offering powerful features without compromising the user experience.

With ALS, we aim to make astrophotography more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, meeting the needs of enthusiasts at all levels.
