## 功能特色 / Features
- **多對齊點局部對齊 / Multi-alignment-point (AP) local alignment** — 以網格扭曲
修正大氣視寧度造成的局部形變，而非只做整體位移。 / Mesh-warp local
registration that corrects seeing-induced local distortion, not just a
global shift.
- **SER 影片直接讀取 / Reads SER capture files** — 支援 FireCapture、SharpCap 等
常用擷取軟體輸出的 `.ser` 檔（含 debayer）。 / Opens `.ser` files from
FireCapture, SharpCap and other capture tools (with debayering).
- **自動品質排名與挑幀 / Automatic quality ranking & frame selection** — 依銳利度
排名，取最佳的 top-% 疊合；可手動指定參考幀、手動排除壞幀。 / Ranks frames by
sharpness and stacks the best top-%; manual reference-frame pick and manual
frame rejection are also supported.
- **彩色與單色 / Colour & mono** — 支援 RGB 通道對齊與 drizzle。 / RGB channel
alignment and drizzle upscaling.
- **批次處理 / Batch processing** — 一次處理多個 SER 檔。 / Process many SER files
in one run.
- **繁體中文 / English 介面 / Bilingual UI**。

## English
### What is MapStacker?
MapStacker is a free desktop tool for **lucky-imaging planetary and lunar
astrophotography**. Feed it a SER capture of the Moon, Mars, Jupiter or Saturn
and it ranks the frames by sharpness, aligns the best ones with a
**multi-alignment-point mesh warp** (correcting local seeing distortion), and
stacks them into a sharp result you can then wavelet-sharpen elsewhere. The
workflow will feel familiar if you've used **AutoStakkert** or **RegiStax**;
what MapStacker adds is a single tool that runs **natively on Windows, macOS
and Linux** with a **bilingual (English / Traditional Chinese) UI**.
### Download
Get the latest build from the [**Releases**](../../releases/latest) page:
| Platform | File |
| --- | --- |
| Windows (x64) | `MapStacker-windows-x64.zip` |
| Linux (x64) | `MapStacker-linux-x64.zip` |
| macOS (Apple Silicon) | `MapStacker-macos-arm64.zip` |
### Requirements & notes
**Windows**
- Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit).
- Unzip and run `MapStacker.exe` from the folder; no separate Python install needed.
- If a missing VC++ runtime is reported, install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (usually already present on recent Windows).
**Linux**
- Requires **glibc ≥ 2.31** (Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, or equivalent).
- Unzip and run `MapStacker` from the folder.
- The GUI uses the Qt xcb platform plugin; it will not start in a headless or X11-less environment.
**macOS**
- **Apple Silicon (arm64) only**; Intel Macs are not supported.
- The app is unsigned. If Gatekeeper blocks the first launch, right-click → "Open", or allow it under System Settings → Privacy & Security.
### Languages
English and Traditional Chinese UI are bundled.
