I didn't think it would be possible, but here we are!  I spent a long time getting this together so everyone can use my very popular WIMI!  Now anyone can explore any astrophoto and see what what all is known and maybe you will find something new not in any database!! 

I have also fully implemented this with Seti Astro's Suite as another tab too.

Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux!

I'd like you to have my greatest heartfelt gratitude for your kind contributions! 

When you released Statistical Strech as a stand alone version I immediately tried it, and in literally with just 4 clicks it produced a smoother, better streched image to further work with than I ever could do myself.

For me, who could never truly grasp streching (I understand the concept, but I just can't get it right) this is truly a blessing, I can finally utilise the whole potential of my recorded and stacked data.

THANK YOU!

Wow – looks like a great application.  I did download it on my Mac Studio and have had several issues & crashes.  Would you like me to communicate the details back to you?  If so, let me know how.

sadly me too. Stat stretch generally seems better than I can manage as a noob manually.
If nothing else, it's a fantastic tool for learning.
