Just back from the Imaging the Sky Conference in Portland, and I think my PixInsight presentation went fairly well. I covered the general layout and functionality, then did a live demo of LRGB processing with some NGC7331 data from my CDK 12.5. I took a page from Steve Leshin's great presentation at AIC, and started with calibrated and aligned L,R,G, and B masters, and went from there. I managed to cover DBE, Deconvolution, Multiscale Median Transform, LRGB Combination, Noise Reduction, HDR Multiscale Transform, etc, etc, with a bit of Masking and Histogram Transformation thrown in - all in an hour - phew!
People are always wowed by DBE and the multi-scale processing. The data I used were from my CDK first light, and I had no flats, but DBE made short work of the vignetting (although I made it clear that I don't recommend this approach!). I also showed an annotated final image of NGC7331, and emphasized all of the great user contributed tools that are available in PI.
I suspect we may have a few new members of the PI family joining us soon...
