Measure thePixels
Astrophotography by evidence, not instinct.
NOVA measures an image, makes bounded processing decisions, records why, and leaves the evidence open for human review.

A SeeStar S50 is a compact robotic telescope. Capturing the photons is only the first half; NOVA measures and automates the difficult processing decisions that turn stacked data into a finished image.
One project. Four ways in.
The photographs are the result. The measurements explain the result. The handbook shares the method. The build log shows what failed and changed.
Images
Finished astrophotography with NOVA's recorded assessment.
NOVA
The architecture, decision loop, validation, and limits of the system.
Handbook
A growing process-first reference: 11 published methods, with sources and validation status.
Build Log
Experiments, mistakes, decisions, and the measurements that changed NOVA.
Public preview: the images, processing history,
and production system are real. Installation guidance is being verified on clean machines
before NOVA is presented as a supported release.
