New to PixInsight? Our 2 hour pre-recorded Workshop will get you processing your astrophotography images in no time! PixInsight for Newbies Purchase After a night of catching photons, you can hardly wait to see and share the cosmic beauty of your photographs! While many options for deep-sky image processing software exist, none can match PixInsight for its versatility. As a very powerful program, the learning curve can seem daunting to the new user, but we’d like to show you that it’s not! In this workshop, we’ll take the mystery out of PixInsight, and show you how to produce pleasing results in just a few, simple steps. Warren Keller and Ron Brecher have teamed up to deliver a series of information-packed ‘Virtual Workshops’ covering deep-sky image processing with PixInsight. Each 2-hour session will show beginners the most important tools and settings needed to create jaw-dropping astrophotos! Working directly with Warren and Ron, and practicing with the data and resources provided, you’ll move confidently from beginner to experienced user in no time. The first Virtual Workshop will demonstrate a compact workflow for producing color images, including: Understanding the PixInsight user interface Evaluating the quality of individual subframes Making master frames from one-shot color and monochrome (R, G, B) subframes Processing the masters using a basic ‘process icon set’ Saving a project for future use Saving a JPEG to share Future Virtual Workshops will expand on this basic workflow and delve more deeply into specialized topics.

Mosaics and Other Special Techniques Recorded Workshop Purchase This workshop will be delivered in two parts: Part 1 – Mosaics: Have you ever wanted to image a deep-sky object that was larger than your camera’s field of view? Using a smaller telescope is an option, but usually at the expense of resolution. Instead, you can stitch multiple panes together to make a seamless mosaic of a larger region. The sky really is the limit! We’ll show you how to use these essential mosaic-making tools: StarAlignment – options and settings used for making a mosaic template and preparing panes for merging into a mosaic GradientMergeMosaic – to combine multiple mosaic panes prepared with StarAlignment Part 2 – Special Sauce: You can add these steps to your workflow, as appropriate, to enhance your images further. We’ll show you where they fit in with the workflow that we have covered in previous workshops. MorphologicalTransformation – change the size and/or shape of stars ExponentialTransformation – bring up faint details outside your main object Repaired HSV Separation Script – correct color mismatches in star centers These techniques can be used with narrowband data from one-shot color and monochrome astronomical cameras, as well as DSLRs. For many of these methods, we’ll use and build upon the tools and techniques introduced in our previous workshops.
