Header accounting only. No pixel analysis, quality ranking or duplicate detection.
Every row starts with a frame.
Select your retained lights to inspect the original header beside your corrections. Your files are never modified.
Walk through a reconciliationFITS keyword mapping and missing frame types
Use the keyword names written by your capture software. Mapping does not convert units. Per-frame corrections take precedence.
Connect labels to equipment.
A FITS label such as Ha is not an AstroBin equipment ID. Supply your numeric ID, or deliberately leave the optional field blank. Neither choice changes the retained-frame count.
Select files to map their source filter labels.
IDs are not verified against AstroBin. Distinct physical filters sharing one label need a per-frame label correction or separate reviews.
Check the acquisition handoff.
One row per recorded calendar date, source filter and exact exposure. Expand a source list to trace the count.
