Creating an Animated GIF in AstroImajeJ and GIMP
Images of asteroids and comets are interesting but are even more so when you can see the object moving against the background stars. In this tutorial, you’ll learn: How to create an animated GIF...
PixInsight AutoIntegrate.js Processing Script
PixInsight offers a lot of capability for processing astronomical images; however, it can be difficult to learn due to its unconventional, process-based, approach. While PixInsight offers a broad variety of processes, it is extensible...
