PixInsight — Video Tutorials

An image is worth a thousand words; a video is worth a thousand images. From the very basics of PixInsight's graphical user interface, to in-depth descriptions of processing tools and techniques, watching PixInsight's video tutorials is the best way to learn and get the most out of PixInsight.

Our video tutorials have been produced as QuickTime™ movies (.mov files). If your web browser doesn't load and show them automatically, you'll probably need to install a QuickTime plug-in. For your convenience, here is a link to Mozilla's add-on store.

Make sure to visit this page, as well as the tutorials and examples sections frequently to stay tuned, as they are being updated with new learning material at a constant rate.
