M51 the Whirlpool Galaxy
First ever processing with Pixinsight.
It seems that Pixinsight is the way to go for processing astrophotos but it comes with a hefty bill. I acquired the LE version of Pixinsight and started to do some reprocessing. I must say that it is a powerful tool and when used correctly it will make your images look great.
Here is my first ever photo processed with Pixinsight LE and I am happy with the results. I was able to get more of the faint stuff to pop out as well as a nice color balance.
Some day I may fork out the cash for the full version but for now I am content on using this version.
I would love to here some feedback as there is a steep learning curve with this program. Any tips on using this software would be appreciated.
