How it works & why it's private WebAssemblyNo uploadOpen source ↗ Background extraction → star-safe denoise → star lift → asinh stretch — all in your browser tab.
Everything runs inside your browser tab: scientific image processing compiled to WebAssembly, with no server and no upload. The pipeline flattens the light-pollution gradient, denoises color and luminance while protecting point stars, lifts faint stars, then applies a black-point cut and a gentle asinh stretch — the same maths used for telescope imagery.
