🚀 ALS v1.0 — The Big One!
It’s finally happening.
After years of pixel-pushing, photon-wrangling, and late-night debugging under the stars, Astro Live Stacker is soon
reaching version 1.0 — our first truly feature-complete release. 🥳
🌌 What’s new?
The highlight of this milestone: flat calibration.
Yep, the long-awaited ability to correct your subs using master flats is here — and it completes the calibration suite
alongside master darks. With this, ALS officially checks all the boxes we’d dreamed of when the project began.
🔭 Why it matters
This is more than “just another release.”
It’s a turning point: ALS now covers the full live-stacking workflow from capture to calibrated, stacked, and stretched
images — all in real time, all open-source, all cross-platform.
🧪 Want to try it early?
Curious stargazers can already get their hands on preview builds and put the new flat calibration through its paces:
👉 Testing builds
Feedback, bug reports, or even “hey, it worked!” messages are all welcome. You can drop your thoughts in our usual channels — every bit of feedback helps polish the final 1.0 release.
❤️ Thanks, everyone
This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the testers, contributors, and the community that kept believing that live stacking could be both powerful and fun.
So, fire up your gear, grab a few flats, and help us make ALS v1.0 shine.
The sky’s the limit — literally. 🌠
