Drafts stay private
Drafts hold processing notes, pending metadata, and staging assets so you can iterate before anything is public:- Version notes — track edits, crop decisions, and processing changes.
- Metadata review — target, telescope, camera, location, and acquisition details stay attached to the draft.
- Publish handoff — move the finished image into the public record once the story and data are complete.
What a post carries
Target metadata
Object, type, night, and the equipment behind the capture.
Final asset
The processed image with a generated thumbnail.
Story
Description and processing notes — the part most galleries throw away.
Visibility
Shared only when you publish; private while you iterate.
