They're an Indian company, so I guess that the most popular OS in India is Windows.
Maybe things will change in the future.

You can do very similar things with a plug-in called Kaleidoscope. Same thing really but with more control.
The plug-in is free but only works in photoshop.
It can be found here.

Great picture but shouldn't that be "Stairs UP to Heaven?"

Good heaven's above!
You've made beautiful look more beautiful.

I've always been a Chess player as far back as I can remember.
This picture is a fanciful acknowledgement of that.

Things have come on a lot - I use a solarmax II which gives about 0.5A bandwidth and dedicated mono camera.
I do have a permanent mounted pier system but most of my solar ones (and planetary for that matter) are taken with a portable kit. Well if you call 30Kg additional luggage just for my astronomy kit portable !?
Suggest you leave London for a night and head off to the south downs with an F2 ish 30mm lens and give the milky way a shot. - lots of nice dark skies down there.
Clear Skies
Yes. . .things have definitely come on - in leaps and bounds.
I sold all my kit years ago; the age old scenario: boy meets girl/marriage beckons/need of money/sell every non-essential possession/divorce/looks backward at what might have been.
These days I am left with a Sony A550 and not much else.
The interest is still there - all my life in fact, but the great divider now is time, or lack of it.
I will bear your suggestion in mind for future reference, and seek some technical advice from my brother (who is a photographer).

The UK is a bit far north for most of the planets so I have some archived ones taken nearer the equator.
Ah. . .so you've travelled with your equipment in tow. And yes, the equator is an ideal place to see the planets. In my youth I didn't have the wherewithal to mount such expeditions so I became restricted to the UK and had to settle for Astronomy classes in night school gathering as much knowledge as I could. The worst obstacle I came across when star gazing was light pollution - so the milky-way. . .no chance!
Your images of the Sun take me back to the time when I purchased my first Sun filter and began observing what I could see, I didn't get the detail you have here but I did get to see Sun spots for the first time.
Great pictures as always, and I look forward to seeing more of your archived material.

Krita? Never heard of it, but then again, I presume I haven't heard of lots of software related things.
Lovely rendition.

STARTRACKER,
hope this helps
It might help now, but 40+ years ago those gadgets didn't exist.

Apart from all these 'deep field' images - which are remarkable in themselves, do you ever train your equipment on the planets?
I once had telescopes and all the fuzz that goes with it, but finding the planets was a right sod unless you knew (obviously) the exact point amongst the constellations in which to find them. I had limited success but boy! It was fascinating to say the least.

This isn't how I pictured Snake Pass...
Haha! Nor anything else come to think of it.

There's no end to your imagination, right? Great job.
Imagination is as imagination does.
I think Affinity has become my muse - allowing me to realise dreams in picture form.

I like Terry Pratchett's notion that inspirations just fly through space like neutrinos, and eventually strike someone's brain at random. Happens to me a lot.
Great artwork, by the way!Thanks, Kasper-V.
Yes, inspiration is a fickle thing and I like Terry Pratchett's interpretation of it. I end up creating pictures that I never imagined when I began them.
Oh. . .hang on! here comes another neutrino.

How on earth do you keep track of all the paths/curves?
Looks like Spaghetti Junction from my point of view.

Not too sure why I did this, it just grabbed me as a good idea.

@AffinityJules If you click on the image you'll be able to download the hi-res version.
I didn't realise you could do that. I clicked on the image and I got the same size picture, I didn't notice the little box on the bottom left until afterwards.
I'll remember that for next time.
I have to say that your treatment of this picture to get a good selection was something I would never have thought to do. I live and learn.

I see that everyone is avoiding this one, can't say I blame them.
This, at best, is tricky, and it all depends on the resolution and quality of the image itself. The one posted here is very small and thus problematic at best.
There is no selection tool that will correctly identify the portions you want to keep without pre-editing.
For something like this, and the time it would take to get a good selection, I personally would resort to cutting out the image with the pen tool. That would be the most accurate, but time consuming method.
But, someone in here might know a far better way than what I suggested.

Just as an example, this is a typical image made from the 'mirror' mode. There are two other modes: copy & blend.
