Hmm, you can't be looking very hard. Photoshop is probably still the primary application used by the majority of beginner astrophotographers. With good reason I might add because it has so much support through tutorials and how to pieces online. Coupled with DSS you have everything you need.

Of course if you want to torment yourself there is PI but in my experience that is something some people move to, not a beginners tool.

As to books, look at "The Deep-Sky Imaging Primer" by Bracken, still the best starting point in my opinion.

Note, Bracken covers Photoshop and PI.

The Hubble Imaging Team have used Photoshop from the start, do you need a better endorsement?
