RegiStax is a image processing software which runs under Windows. It is released as freeware .

RegiStax merges a stack of images of the same scene in order to average out noise (eg atmospheric disturbances between camera and subject). The stack of images can be in the form of individual consecutive shots or from frames of a movie camera trained on the scene.

History

The program was released (version 1.0.0) by Cor Berrevoets (The Netherlands) on 19 May 2002) [1]. This initial version had facilities for stack alignment, grading and selection of images to merge, and image enhancement using techniques such as wavelet processing[2] [3].

Features

Image of the transit of venus, shot as consecutive photographs then processed into a single image.
Image of part of the moon, shot as a video then processed into one still image.
