Astrosift

FITS images and headers

Purpose-Built

A private FITS image and header workbench for HDU inventory, monochrome previews, stretch controls, pixel statistics, star-candidate measurement, and observation handoff.

Core Features

  • Open primary FITS image HDUs with common integer and float bit depths
  • Inspect 80-character header cards and extension inventory
  • Preview monochrome data with linear, square-root, or logarithmic stretch
  • Measure background, saturation, centroid, FWHM, and candidate peaks
  • Export a contact sheet, pixel statistics, and observation report

Private by Design

No account, subscription, ads, tracking, third-party analytics, or developer-operated backend. Core features work offline, and your work stays on device unless you deliberately share or export it.

Use It Responsibly

Astrosift is an inspection and planning tool, not a calibrated scientific pipeline. Verify photometry, world coordinates, debayering, and observatory-specific conventions elsewhere.
