Collaboration
Share projects with other imagers, manage roles, and track contributions
DeepSkyLog lets you open a project to multiple contributors. Team members can upload frames to the same project, and every frame is tagged with its contributor so you can track who contributed what.
Setting Up a Collaboration Project
- Open your project and click Edit
- Check the Collaboration Project checkbox — your project must have filter goals defined
- Save — you are now the collaboration Owner
- Open Collaboration Management from your project to invite team members
- Choose a role for each member: Member, Admin, or Viewer
- Invitations are valid for 30 days

Automatic Frame Routing
When a collaboration member uploads frames from NINA or the desktop uploader, DeepSkyLog automatically matches the target name to the collaboration project. Collaboration projects take priority over private projects — so if you have a private “M31” project and also belong to a collaboration “M31”, your uploads go to the collaboration.
Tracking Contributions
Every frame is tagged with the contributor. You can see per-member statistics including:
- Frame count per member
- Integration time per filter per member
- Session history and upload timeline
This is visible from the Collaboration Management panel inside the project.
