I have not used PixInsight, but read what they are doing at\u00a0https:\/\/pixinsight.com\/<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The commercial license is 230 Euros (about $275). They have free versions, but not sure what limitations, if any.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All their image processing workshops listed are from 2017. There are software tutorials by their “PTeam” members at\u00a0https:\/\/pixinsight.com\/tutorials\/index.html<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I do not know how many people in HAS or connected use, or are interested in PixInsight. You are hoping to learn some fascinating processing methods in a few days. Even following their examples (only talked about, not shown or automated) could be problematic.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I searched “houston astronomical society” “pixinsight” and found 526 entry points with a range of connections. Having never been to the dark site, perhaps PixInsight is a constantly mentioned thing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This was taken at the HAS Dark Site:\u00a0https:\/\/www.astrobin.com\/60gvga\/C\/<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Here is their Video page\u00a0https:\/\/pixinsight.com\/videos\/index.html<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Here is their YouTube\u00a0https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/PixInsight<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
They are using C++ and have added some wrappers. Here is the C++ Class Library for the really hard core. I show their modules, because that is what they are interested in and the tools they know.\u00a0https:\/\/pixinsight.com\/developer\/pcl\/doc\/html\/modules.html<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Here is their GitLab Class Library –\u00a0https:\/\/gitlab.com\/pixinsight\/PCL\/<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
They have a SpiderMonkey Javascript scripting language environment. That is a lot of things to learn with few working examples. I might be missing something.\u00a0https:\/\/pixinsight.com\/developer\/pjsr\/index.html<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Search “PixInsight” on google and get 525,000 entry points. It is often talked about, and several people have offered videos and guides to pieces of it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“PixInsight” (“tutorial” OR “beginner” OR “getting started”) has 45,000 entry pages, so I am guessing it has a steep and long learning curve. But just guessing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
