Why I Build AstroCollector

I built AstroCollector because I was tired of manually copying files between imaging devices, storage systems and processing machines. As my astrophotography library grew, keeping everything organized and backed up became almost as much work as capturing the images themselves.

AstroCollector started as a tool to solve that problem for my own workflow.
