ARIS Join the Waitlist

Where Your Images Live

Every frame your rig captures is written to the rig’s own disk as it is captured. Nothing depends on your phone, tablet, or browser staying connected, and that archive on the rig is where your data lives. ARIS gives you two ways to reach it:

  • Files — the browser for the rig’s disk. Frames are organized in a persistent Project / Target / Type / Filter tree with astronomy-standard FITS headers, grouped by night. Open it from the Home screen or the folder button on the Imaging screen to review a session, inspect FITS metadata, and rename or delete data at the source.
  • Data Sync — the ARIS Shuttle pulls completed frames from your rigs to a folder you choose on your own Mac or Windows computer, organized for Siril and PixInsight. This is how the archive gets to the computer where you process.

Live-stack and deep-stack outputs appear in the tree automatically: an armed live stack persists its result as a night-scoped FITS, and when a completed sequence triggers an overnight deep stack, the master FITS and a stretched JPEG drop straight into the target’s folder — no manual export step.

A file that is already on your device

Section titled “A file that is already on your device”

The FITS Viewer opens a FITS file (.fits, .fit or .fts) that is already on the device you are holding — a frame you downloaded from Files, or one from another tool. It works with no telescope connected, and nothing is uploaded. Open it with the FITS Viewer button on the Imaging screen, below the folder button.
