Choose your favorite framing.

The orientation of objects in the image is no more dependant of the orientation of the camera, your mount type or the position of the object in the sky. You are free to choose the perfect composition for your astrophotography masterpiece.

An innovative and intelligent algorithm that delivers the best image quality.

CovalENS benefits from a process used by experienced astrophotographers, called dithering. It dramatically improves the quality of images by cancelling out hot pixels, fixing pattern noise and more. The stacking process operates simultaneously so you end up with an image file ready for post-processing. Calibration frames are no more required.
