I know I've asked before but please, please, PLEASE, can you do a "how to" review on using Astra image. I've tried it and just keep getting frustrated.

Ok, maybe I'll write something up. btw I tried to go to the website of the software developers for Astra Image (
www.phasespace.com.au) but that site doesn't seem to be working anymore.
I wonder if they are still in business?
I've just run across another package that looks like it might also be good - AstroArt. It's a bit $$$ ($275 aussie dollars) but it has some nice features, like reading 32 bit FITS files, RL deconvolution, etc.
I'm going to blow the budget and buy a copy to try out. They have a demo version that's free, but it's missing a few things.
AstroArt has one BIG positive - it's extensible, and comes with a free SDK (Software Developers Kit). Something that bugs me about our existing tools like Registax is that I can't jump in and fix it's bugs (and there are still many). At least with this package I might be able to write plugins to implement some of my ideas.
