Image processing software choice

What to use? As a newcomer to AP, I’m looking to acquire some software to stack and process subs from my DSLR.

I’ve looked at what seem to be the popular ones: ImagesPlus, Nebulosity, Registax, CCDStack, DSS & Maxim DL.

With the prices ranging from zip (for DSS) to $499 USD for Maxim DL (Pro), I am interested to know if there is really that much difference in the essential elements that each package has. I know that some offer camera (and even observatory) control too, so does it just boil down to you get what you pay for, or are there other important differences?

Apologies if this topic has been thrashed around previously – but I couldn’t find such a thread.



Cheers,
Chris
