It looks like a great bit of software for increasing the possiblities of what you can do when processing your images. There are some great features like adding star diffraction spikes to your image and noise reduction.
Some functions are pretty slow and heavy on the CPU. I run a quad core 6gig box for processing and some functions take 30minutes or more to run. But they are macros and you can figure out what's going on if you are that way inclined.
I use them and some take maybe a minute but not more.
I use a duo core 2 laptop.
The main ones I use that are helpful are the increase star colour action and the reduce noise action. Reduce star size is also handy. There are others I use from time to time but not routinely.
He also adds to them every now and then.
There are a few free ones around. Chris Schur's website I think it is has a few free ones for galaxy processing.
Oh God....Brighten DSOs. I can go and bake a cake, mow the lawn and paint the house by the time that runs on my poor little beast. All those minimize components.
