Milky way processing or general astro photo processing

[NXU]

Can I ask for Affinity team to add video tutorial on processing a Milky way sot a getting the best out of it? the reason i say this is that this is a very good area for Affinity to get in to. As not many Astrophotographers are that happy with paying huge amounts of money for subscriptions.

Hi @NXU,

 

We have a spotlight article on taking photos of star trails and general astrophotography and can be found here

Hi,

Thanks for this.

I am returning after some time. Also Astronomy now last two editions are running a series on Affinity photo use i Astrophoto processing. It's written by Nic Szymanek, who is an authority on the subject. for years his articles were based on Adobe PS and lightroom. the fact that he has decided to do an article on Affinity Photo says a lot about Affinity photo. 

I will have a look at the article and comment about it here.

 

Best.

Hi,

I had a look at the article. astrophoto processing is much much more than star trails. I would argue that star trails is a starting point almost. Next would be Milky way and then planetary, galaxies and then nebulae. There are other branches such as Comets, meteor showers etc. Holy grail starts with Milky way. I hope someone does a step by step video on Milkyway  processing with Affinity. 

I know there are lots of amateur astronomers yearning not to spend on Adobe and use a more affordable product. 

Hope this helps to move things along.

Best.
