Congratulations Juan, Vicent, Carlos, and the others involved in the inaugural publication of what I think could be a seminal event for PI. The presentation is very well done and initial content great. The venue certainly provides a great vehicle for providing useful an hopefully a lot of tutorial information. Is there a planned new issue publication interval?

Again, great job.

Hi Stephen, thanks,

We are thinking to publish about 4 issues per year, although the magazine has not any defined periodicity: the issue is released when we think we have enough content.


Best regards,
Vicent.

Just got around to reading the new magazine. Thanks for an excellent publication! Looking forward to more instructional articles - great way to learn PI. By the way Sergi's Orion's Belt 6.67 hours - superb. You could easily spend a lifetime imaging that area of the sky and never tire of it. NGC6914 is equally stunning - superlatives!

Congratulations to all involved, I've read it all but don't claim to actually understand it all  ;D

I'd love to see a beginners corner where some of the more common tools are explored and explained in depth.

Keep up the good work.

Hi all,

Again thanks to everybody for your supporting words.

It seems I've managed to 'fix' the magazine's page for IE 8 in compatibility view mode (that is, destroy the page's source code in order to satisfy a brain-damaged web 'browser'). Could the people with IE 8 / compatibility check if everything is well visible now:

Yes...they are there!....even on my lowly laptop running a brain damaged browser.  ;)

Do you reckon any of this Microsoft stuff will ever catch on?  >:D

Hi,

the links are there now  8).

But try to scroll to the bottom of the page...quite a long distance. Probably some JavaScript effect.

Just read the magazine and wanted to say how great I thought it was.  Thanks to the article authors, in particular, Vicent, Juan and Carlos.  I thought I'd mention that personally I am particularly interested in reading in future articles some of the details of how the multiscale processing is, in fact, done in PI with particular attention to where the a trous wavelet transform is being used, why and how it is advantageous other other multiscale methods.  The history of it was very interesting in the introductory article that, at first evolution, the multiscale processing used other techniques than wavelets. If I understand correctly, present PI uses ATWT exclusively for multiscale processing and seems to have them embedded in just about every PI process.  Juan's article educated me on modern s/w engineering as I haven't kept up and hopefully will make me a smarter user.  Finally Carlos' article turned on the light bulb for perhaps using PI for some non-astronomical image processing applications of my own (or encouraged me to think about using PI instead of matlab for them).
Looking forward to the next issue.
