Webpages about the issue image processing:
Deep Sky Stacker. An interesting and good freeware
for stacking of astro images. Used by myself more and more frequent. By now, there is
version 3.3.6 available but is not yet linked from the homepage.
Here ist the rar compressed file of this version.
Giotto
Free image processing software from Georg Dittie ideal for stacking and
sharpening of planet and deep sky images.
Registax Also a very good freeware for image processing it will be
often used by myself for the stacking of videoclips.
The Gimp A great
freeware tool for image processing of all kind. This program is available
for Linux and Windows. Its functional range is close to the range of
expensive commercial programs. I use it for processing of all my images!
Neat Image
A software for smoothing of noisy CCD exposures or coarse fotos. It is
ideal to give astronomical images a final finish. At the homepage a very
powerful free demo version of this software is ready for download.
