PixInsight - a quick update on post processing
When I started with astrophotography last year I exclusively worked with free software for the post processing tasks. I mostly used SIRIL and a little bit of Gimp as tools. Some of the early results I have shared in this blog. They were ok at the time, but I knew that I wanted them to become better in the long run. So early this year, during galaxy season, I was starting to search for the software environment I would be using during my next steps. In principle the free tools can be used to produce extraordinary results much beyond what I was doing at the time. However, I felt that there may be limitations at some point and apparently most astrophotographers are switching to other tools eventually. As a result of that there is very little information available about how to use the free tools specifically in astrophotography beyond the very basic tasks. I tested a few solutions, but eventually decided for PixInsight, apparently a pretty large number of astrophotographers are using this
