I've just downloaded this for my Mac and find that it's very easy and intuitive to use. I've used "Startrails" before and this is very similar. It's always good to have alternatives...

Excellent. :)

Does it make smooth movies? I tried downloading Startrails.de a few weeks ago on my PC but the site wasn't responding. And, so far, I've only tried making a timelapse in iMovie, but, the settings are too course -- not fine enough to allow for smooth timelapses. I suspect it's like the jump from GarageBand to Logic Studio, I'll need to make the upgrade from iMovie to Final Cut Pro X.

Babez, have you tried Jasc Animation Shop?

No. Might have to...

StarStax is awesome. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now.

The best thing, it even does cumulative images where it saves the result after each addition to the stack. Great for timelapses.

It doesn't actually make movies though - that's the only thing missing from it.

Thanks Chris! Always looking for Mac astro software. :)



I've got the exe file if you like.
