PlanetEdit - Simple and Quick3.01 - App Store

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. Accept all format recognised by the Photo app. In addition, it open .ser files. First, copy them to the Files app. Then tap Open button in PlanetEdit app. Choose Open Files App. Tested for a 3.5Gb .ser file.
