StarStaX

StarStaX is a fast multi-platform image stacking and blending software, which allows to merge a series of photos into a single image using different blending modes. It is developed primarily forStar Trail Photography where the relative motion of the stars in consecutive images creates structures looking like star trails. Besides star trails, it can be of great use in more general image blending tasks, such as light painting, noise reduction, or synthetic exposure enlargement.
StarStaX has advanced features such as interactive gap-filling and can create an image sequence of the blending process which can easily be converted into great looking time-lapse videos. Check out the StarStaX Flickr Group for some great photos created using StarStaX!
StarStaX is available as a download for Mac OS X and Windows. It is free to download and free to use for any purpose, including commercial projects.

Please also review usage, tutorial, support, and license information.

Features

• Blending/stacking modes: Lighten, Darken, Average, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication
• Interactive gap filling mode to automatically close small gaps in star trails (see the StarStaX tutorial)
• Comet mode blending to create comet-like star trails
• Supports a multitude of image formats (JPG, TIFF up to 16-bit/channel, PNG, etc.), Raw images cannot (yet) be developed using StarStaX – there are many better tools for that. For Raw images, use your favorite Raw converter, make your adjustments and export the images as TIFF.
• Cumulative mode: A stacked image can be saved after each frame is processed (to create a cumulative stacking video)
• Averaging and subtraction of dark frames to remove hot pixels and noise
• Smooth zoom, 100% view, different view interpolation modes (anti-aliasing)
• GPU support for fast navigation within images
