Thanks, David - really appreciate the feedback. Still pretty new to this stuff, so learning as I go, but always good to know I'm on the right track! Clear skies to you.
Very interesting video Matt, looks like I will have to try NINA, seems very straight forward Hope you will make some more videos about working with and setting up in NINA
Thanks, Ollie. The imaging tab in NINA is also configurable to your personal ways of displaying things, which is pretty good. I’ll do a video on how to configure that shortly...
Another tip, if you are cheap - like me - and don't want to pay for Photoshop monthly, they have Photoshop CS2 as a free download available. It contains most of the tooling you'll need for astrophotography.
You’re probably right, James! I think I’m so used to PS that it’s hard to change. And everything in PI has weird names! All I need is to put some effort into learning it - and this is the year it will happen!
I highly recommend Siril, which is also free. It is so much easier and it allows me to get very quick - and most importantly - consistent results. I have a Speedrun video up where I stack images and process to an end result it in less than 15 minutes. I was a DSS user until I started using multi-narrowband filters (first L-eNhance, now L-eXtreme). Then I wanted to be able to split Ha and OIII data, which is a key feature of Astro Pixel Processor. But I was reluctant to buy the software and then found Siril and fell in love.
I did download Siril a while back - but like most things, I never got the time to try it out too much. I will add that to my list of stuff to get more experience on!
I have just discovered your channel and I already love it.
I like a lot your funny speech and also, your comments are very useful for newbies.

Thanks for pushing me towards NINA. Was too lazy to consider but will start to research now. Great overview over your software, thanks a lot!!
NINA is great. I don’t know anyone who has tried it, and then not stuck with it! I’ll get the setup videos for NINA done ASAP for you!

Thanks, Siegfried, I will defo make that series of videos soon! NINA is so good. I don’t know anyone whose tried it and not stuck with it afterwards!
I've just started trying NINA more to address an issue I was having with APT and the interface of NINA is very well laid out. Nice video Matt.👍

@@EverydayAstro Yes I haven't played with this yet but the ability to have dockable frames looks great 👍
Nice video! Might have to try NINA. I love DSS, and PS!
NINA is simply the best, Caleb. Keep an eye out for my upcoming videos on how to set it up and get going!

Very good point, Martin! Thanks for sharing.
Am 100% a PixInsight guy, best software I've ever used, astro or otherwise.

@@EverydayAstro It takes some getting used to, and is much more hands-on, but is SO worth it. You know how to reach me if you have questions. :)
