Before and after

What deconvolution actually recovers

The same frame, unprocessed on the left and processed on the right. Drag the handle across, or use the arrow keys.

Nothing here is generated. No machine-learning upscaling and no invented detail — the sharpness on the processed side came from photons your sensor already recorded. How the deconvolution works.

From the developer's own backyard

Twenty-one deep sky objects, one 90 mm refractor

Captured and processed by David Biggs from a NexDome observatory in northern California, using an early version of BiggSky. Not a remote observatory, not a metre-class scope.

Why this matters more than a spec sheet

Every image here came off a 90 mm apochromatic refractor on a Vixen Great Polaris mount, guiding at 0.6 to 1.0 arc-seconds RMS, under the light pollution of the Sacramento area. The mount runs OnStep on a Teensy, the focuser is custom, and several parts are 3D printed.

The processing is the point. If the software only worked on data from a mountaintop, it would not be much use to anyone reading this.
