Can you Nebulosity users confim when using the original DSI for planet and deep space, it beats the included Autostar suite of software for capturing?

However, if don't want to use this Autostar feature, yes. The caveat is that Nebulosity far exceeds Autostar in image processing, not capturing.

Nebulosity user interface is far easier IMO. I rarely image with my DSI 1 but its still guiding under PHD and Nebulosity perfectly. Yep, Nebulosity, Pixinsight and Photoshop CS4 does most everything I need at this time and I'm happy with it. If I did miss anything from Autostar suite I have long forgotten about it.

I mostly use Nebulosity for its really nice color ballance function and converting my final FITS3P image to TIFF. I used to use it for a lot more than that, but I eventually migrated back to Envisage for acquisition and stacking, Nebulosity for color ballance and format conversion, and Photoshop for final processing.

Major image processing is best done in Photoshop. you Dont have to be a scientist to know how to use it. Everything else is way too complicated.

See above.

It's just such a nice collection of tools and it's a great value.

I follow this same structure, although I have to admit I haven't tried Nebulosity for capture as I find Envisage extremely simple to use.

The reasons are: I guide with PhD guiding and Nebulosity has an interface with it. I was never successful guiding with autostar, even when I had a Meade mount. Nebulosity has a fine focus capability that is much better than autostar. I use DSI cameras primarily for guiding and take most photographs with a DSLR that is not supported by autostar. I like Nebulosity much more because I can capture and process with a single program that has the same interface and controls. Hope this helps. Charlie B Post Extras:       Pages: 1
