Diffraction Limited MaxIm DL 7.1.2

Diffraction Limited MaxIm DL is a specialized software designed for low-light and astrophotography applications, primarily using scientific-grade CCD cameras. Here's an overview of features, versions, and user feedback. Once your images are collected, MaxIm DL can automatically assemble your calibration images into groups, select the correct group for each individual image, calibrate and stack your images. You can process hundreds of images from different targets with just a few clicks.

MaxIm DL also includes advanced optical and astronomical capabilities. Photometric measurements are performed using best-practice mean-median and partial-pixel algorithms tested by professional astronomers. Astronomical measurements are made using PinPoint LE, widely recognized as the most powerful and accurate package available today.
