About Spacetime Pictures
Spacetime Pictures is a collaborative platform for astrophotography datasets, built for fairness, clarity, and trust.
Our mission is to make high-quality deep-sky data accessible, traceable, and self-sustaining — for those who capture the night sky and those who process it.
Explore the Sky
The platform is built around an interactive all-sky map.
Each tile represents a real observed field captured by a wide range of telescopes — from remote observatories to backyard rigs — contributed by astrophotographers worldwide.
Every dataset is fully documented with precise metadata — instruments, filters, integration time, sampling, coordinates, and catalogs — providing all the context needed to understand and process the data with ease.
Download and Process
Subscribers can download the full catalog's broadband or narrowband master stacks — calibrated, aligned, and standardized.
All datasets are delivered in 32-bit linear FITS format, ready for direct use in PixInsight, Siril, APP, or any preferred software.
Each file is verified for consistency and accompanied by a full-resolution processed preview and an information file.
A Growing Catalog
At maturity, the catalog will feature a continuous flow of 365 active curated datasets, with one new observation released every day.
Each license remains active for twelve months, during which ownership fully remains with the contributor.
In its first months, the platform will progressively ramp up toward this daily cadence : the perfect time to get approved early!
Contribute and Earn
Any registered user can submit a dataset.
The submission process takes four simple steps:
- upload a preview with title and description
- go through review and validation
- upload master files and technical details
- add your digital signature and payment informations
Once approved, the dataset enters the publication schedule, and the contributor receives an upfront payment.
When released, the data instantly becomes available to all subscribers.
A Fair Licensing Model
Every dataset follows a predefined licensing curve — a transparent and predictable model that evolves with the growth of the platform.
For contributors, it creates a fair and dynamic environment where each dataset competes transparently within the same model.
For subscribers, the monthly or yearly cost remains fixed, while the value of their access expands as the platform grows.
Community and Collaboration
Each dataset can inspire multiple interpretations.
Users can upload their own processed previews, showcase techniques and intent, and vote for their favorites.
Top-rated previews are featured across the platform, highlighting both artistic vision and technical skill.
Spacetime Pictures is built as a collaborative ecosystem where data and creativity meet.
