Product Details
- PixInsight has taken the astro-imaging world by storm. As the first comprehensive postprocessing platform to be created by astro-imagers for astro-imagers, it has for many replaced other generic graphics editors as the software of choice. PixInsight has been embraced by professionals such as the James Webb (and Hubble) Space Telescope's science imager Joseph DePasquale and Calar Alto's Vicent Peris, as well as thousands of amateurs around the world. While PixInsight is extremely powerful, very little has been printed on the subject. The first edition of this book broke that mold, offering a comprehensive look into the software’s capabilities. This second edition expands on the several new processes added to the PixInsight platform since that time, detailing and demonstrating each one with a now-expanded workflow. Addressing topics such as PhotometricColorCalibration, Large-Scale Pixel Rejection, LocalNormalization and a host of other functions, this text remains the authoritative guide to PixInsight.

Astronomy Editorial Review
This book provides a detailed explanation of everything in PixInsight and is recommended for those who already own the software. The author has a good grasp of the subject, and the book is a valuable asset for anyone trying to learn about the software. However, the book is not a beginner's tutorial and tends to take beginners along too many paths. The lack of a companion set of download images for the reader to use while following along in the book is a serious shortfall. The printing quality of the book is also poor, with a large percentage of the pages being out of focus or blurry.
