- All three apps share a Rust core; the site describes frame scoring, alignment, and stacking as the common workflow.
Field notes
The three apps divide the work by subject: solar video, planetary and lunar frames, and deep-sky exposures. The site lays out a shared sequence—align frames, rank them for sharpness, then stack selected images—and says the common core is written in Rust. It identifies the software as GPL version 3 or later with additional terms, and names Laurence and Laura of 12 Hobbies Studio as its makers.
