See what each workspace starts with

The demo gallery lists the generated input, visible preparation, outputs and limits for every Star Trail Stacker workspace without turning an unbenchmarked sample into a quality claim. These are generated demonstrations, not camera results.

What “try” means here

A working sample opens its named local workspace and prepares the generated files through the same visible controls as your own files. Star Trails may then run automatically; the other five modes stop at their documented ready state.

The six built gallery descriptors, each naming its workspace, synthetic demonstration status and a different explicit limitation
Deterministic built descriptor screenshot — not camera output or a benchmark. These six cards are synthetic demonstrations and each visible line names what its sample does not establish. No result-quality comparison is implied.
