Getting Started with N.I.N.A.

While our core focus remains PixInsight, image acquisition has always been part of the bigger picture. In fact, our most attended workshop to date Acquisition Best Practices focused entirely on improving data collection techniques. This series builds on that success, now with a deep dive into N.I.N.A., the most widely adopted imaging platform among our own team and many of our subscribers.​

​

In Workshop 1, we’ll guide you through the complete setup of N.I.N.A., starting with understanding what the software does and how it streamlines equipment control. You’ll learn how to install N.I.N.A., navigate its interface, and connect your imaging equipment properly, including the essential steps for driver installation and ASCOM platform setup. We’ll cover connecting devices within N.I.N.A., integrating external programs like plate solvers and planetarium software, and installing key plugins to expand N.I.N.A.‘s capabilities. Finally, we’ll configure your imaging options, file management settings, and customize the imaging tab layout to prepare for smooth and efficient imaging sessions.
