I’ve been meaning to make astrophotography centered software for understanding night photos. A year ago, presenting at the someone challenged me, when discussing the color of space, to make a tool for color blind astrophotographers.
So here it is! SpectraVision!
SpectraVision - science-first astrophotography for everyone.
It runs entirely in your browser. No install, no upload, your photos never leave your device. Load any Milky Way shot and get real scientific data instantly:
• Colour temperature mapped across your sky in Kelvin
• Light pollution identified by source - sodium, LED, mercury, airglow
• Broadcast-grade waveform monitor + 3D vectorscope
• Star count, FWHM focus quality, SQM sky rating
• Plate solving to identify exactly what’s in your shot
• 23 analysis and correction tools total
The CVD tab is the one I’m most proud of. It replaces colour judgment with numbers - Kelvin, R:G:B ratios, live gauges — so colorblind photographers can balance a sky correctly without ever having to trust their eyes.
Supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF (8, 16, and 32-bit float), and RAW files from most major camera brands.
Free. Always.
