Like what software?

From astronomical point of view, everything I run under Windows 8.1 is running under Windows 10, except for that drag and drop bug (I will install the final version, I hope it will work by than)

I'm using Windows 10 Beta since day 1 of testing, currently still running build 10049, and I had used StarTools for processing my astronomy images under Windows 10 since than, I had no problem whatsoever. There is a drag and drop problem between different programs (like dragging files from Windows E...

I'm crazy, but not crazy enough. I'm thinking about using CodeLite with wxWidgets. It won't be graphics heavy, I need more the ability to deploy as well for Windows as for Linux too, maybe MacOS down the line. Let's see, thank you for the ideas, I have a few more weeks two think about the concept un...

Hi! I have a not so astronomy related question but I'm curious: soon I will have a new software for a client and I'm thinking about to take the cross platform development way, but I don't know where to start. What IDE ate you using for development? How do you manage to develop/build for multiple pla...

From a white zone I think a CLS-CCD filter would help you, although I don't know if there is such a thing for Nikon, most probably there is. Dust haze might be a possibility too for your data. I'm using StarTools only for a few months so I'm learning too, I watched all the tutorials, I read the foru...

I hope you don't mind, I took a run on your image. I saw your artifacts too when I did wipe, so I cropped out a few pixels from the margins (with StarTools). I'm pretty sure you can do a better process on this data, I did not try very hard too bring out max details (like I did not use the HDR modul ...

I really don't think we should see real time results. I think it's more thank OK to see only steps where you need some user input and than the final stack. the in-between stuff can be don with some progress bar or some information somewhere on the screen to see that the software ain't frozen (so usi...

Thank you. I never thought to align the two images once again with a stack software. I always used Photoshop. I will try that, thank you

You don't have to install anything as far as I know. Just start "StarTools-Windows32.exe" if you have a 32bit WIndows or "StarTools-Windows64.exe" if you have a 64bit Windows. I did not install anything as far as I can remember

Hi! I have some pretty bad Orion Nebula data from last December (just about my third astro photo try), but I tried something different there: knowing the bright core of the Nebula, I made two sets of exposure: some 118x120s ISO3200 for the outer part of the nebula, and same amount but with 20s for t...
