First steps in Pixinsight
« on: 2017 August 06 07:53:38 »
Hi all,
I'm very new to Pixinsight.
I would ask what could be a good starting point for learn PI.

What do you think about the book "Inside Pixinsight" from Keller?
With the new 1.8.5 release some of the topics of the book could be obsolete?
Do you have any advice or suggestions?

Thank you very much in advance

Lorenzo J.

The book is an excellent starting point and most of what's written there is still relevant and accurate. The things introduced in the latest version are nice additions, but you can still just work as before if you wanted to. So for learning the basics the book will still be relevant

Most of what I know about PI I have learned it from this source. The section on preprocessing has made a huge difference in the final image quality.

Good luck!
