Siril is now fully capable to pre-process and process '''deep sky''' images. One feature still missing for '''planetary''' images processing is image deformation, but it is still capable of registering and processing them in an elegant way. The new star detection registration is perfect for deep sky images, but there are also two automatic translation-only registrations, one more suited for planetary and bright nebula images, based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Fourier_transform DFT], and another more simple targetted at deep-sky images, based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_spread_function PSF] on a single reference star. Additionally, a manual alignment capability makes it also well fitted for amateur astronomers having feature-less or bad quality images that automatic tools fail to align properly.
Siril is able to process '''planetary''' images (many small images) as well as '''deep sky''' images (a few large images with full pre-processing data). Registration is able to automatically align (translation only) planetary images, using [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Fourier_transform DFT], as well as deep-sky images, using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_spread_function PSF] on a reference star, as long as the shift between images in not too large. The manual alignment capability makes it also well fitted for amateur astronomers having bad quality images that automatic tools fail to align properly.

Siril is able to process planetary images (many small images) as well as deep sky images (a few large images with full pre-processing data). Registration is able to automatically align (translation only) planetary images, using DFT, as well as deep-sky images, using PSF on a reference star, as long as the shift between images in not too large. The manual alignment capability makes it also well fitted for amateur astronomers having bad quality images that automatic tools fail to align properly.
