“His Majesty” Pixinsight

Hi all,

I am new to the Astrophotography world. Will be purchasing a rig in the coming months and am taking time to learn as much as I can before starting. I hear there is much processing software such as photoshop, Gimp, and Pixinsight.

I often read expressions such as “His Majesty” Pixinsight, insinuating a clear superiority over other processing software.

Do many of you use Pixinsight? Is it worth the money? In other words: can the same results be achieved on free software such as Gimp? If I go with Pixinsight, any recommended tutorials? (I hear the learning curve is quite steep). I am currently leaning towards purchasing Pixinsight once I get my rig and free trial expires, as I hear nothing but praise about it.

Many thanks for your comments
Stéphane
