PixInsight is much more than an imaging application: it is a live, evolving project that originates from the inside of astrophotography as a changing force. PixInsight gathers a growing, dynamic community of users and developers that generate a wealth of resources including images, learning material, research works, development projects and a variety of technical documents. PixInsight Magazine is a communication vehicle for all of that creativity.
PixInsight Magazine is a free electronic publication with a broad subject matter: astrophotography, image processing, software development, instrumentation, astronomy and astrophysics, science outreach and related disciplines. It is open to everybody, free and publicly available, with a focus on quality, modern design, innovation and advanced contents.
