ABSTRACT

This chapter and the four that follow are new to edition two. Their inclusion is designed to push the quality envelope of your image processing using PixInsight. These five chapters discuss selected processes in more detail, the first of which looks at the often overlooked and highly automated process of image pre-processing. Pre-processing is a key step that is often taken for granted, on account that powerful tools can automate the process. Pre-processing consists of four main steps:

calibration
