Become a sponsor to DeepSkyStacker
Hi there, I'm David Partridge, the current lead developer for DeepSkyStacker. I live in PIllerton Priors (a small village in Warwickshire) in the UK.
As you may know we've been working for some time to make DeepSkyStacker portable by changing the code so that instead of MFC (which is Windows only) it uses the Qt framework which is designed for portability. We finally completed that conversion at around the end of November 2024.
Today (14th June 2025) we have reached the point of releasing the first beta for DeepSkyStacker 6.1.0 which supports Linux, macOS and Windows.
How will your contributions help?
-
It will help to pay for hardware that was needed needed for development of these new platforms (a Mac Mini M4)
-
It will help pay for an Apple Developer license which is necessary to distribute code for Macs.
Total sponsorship to date (14th June 2025) is a bit over USD900, so any contribution you make will be most gratefully received.
