Description

Astrophotography is fun, the quiet click of the camera and when you see what comes in on the PC. But then comes the tiresome image processing. Welcome to reality: should it be red or pink today, how do I get the last background smoke out (=never), why do I always make the same stupid mistakes with PI? Questions from yesterday that are still relevant tomorrow
