I'm just learning myself, and as far as I can tell, yes, pixinsight is powerful and if you have the time to learn it, great, but it's also not for the faint of heart, it's fairly expensive and it's poorly documented for such a complex program - as in, there is literally no manual. You can look at processing videos, but you can't just go 'Hm, I wonder what that does' and look it up in a reference, which is pretty lazy, IMO. To find out, you will need to google the PI forum and read the thread and extract the relevant tidbits of information from the noise of the thread. unless more experienced users know something I don't?
But I guess there's Startools as well. Or you can use Photoshop to a certain extent. I just took the plunge because I figured I'm here for the long haul, I might as well get the right tools for the job and take the pain of that poorly documented learning curve once.
