Hey AstroFarsography, I just wanted to thank you for this tutorial! I've been dabbling in amateur astrophotography for a few years and I exclusively use GIMP for processing. Every single time I process a new image, I open up this video and watch/listen as I go through my processing. I've watched this video dozens of times throughout the last few years, and I'll continue to do so. So thank you so much, you've helped me immensely!

I just started in astrophotography 6 months ago and this was so helpful. I have been frustrated as there is so much to learn in this hobby. This is the first video I have found that explained in plain English what is supposed to be done during processing after DSS. Thank you for being so easy to listen to and to follow at your pace. I walked through this with you and came out with a decent Rosette Nebula (one of my stacked images that red applied to). I will watch many more times as at the end with the brush and contrast parts I think I finally popped a blood vessel in my brain : ) At 58 years old I really needed to see this to give me hope that I "will get it" some day. Thank you again.

You are very welcome. Thank you for the words about the tutorial! I hope to see your rosette nebula someday as well! My main intention was to go at a steady pace and clarity.

WoW. This was very complete and included a test file so we could edit along with the video. This man is a true teacher. Liked and subscribed. Please do a tutorial using Gimp on a galaxy from a raw stacked or otherwise image. It is hard to know how to bring out the correct detail in a galaxy like m31 or m33 Triangulum or the m101 Pinwheel. This would be very helpful since Gimp is free and a very good editor. Thanks again. Harry

This is probably the most informative astrophoto editing video I have EVER seen - BRAVO! Most go over PS but why? We amateur astronomers almost exclusively use freeware/shareware like Stellarium, SharpCap, Deep Sky Stacker, etc. etc. - why do most of us use PS? I HATE the subscription model where you must have an internet connection and maintain a subscription to use software. I stay away from all "RENTWARE". Again thanks a TON for this - I would like to see more GIMP tutorials. Can you do one on solar imaging?

Your NA Nebula is superb. Thank you so very much

Just subscribed - keep up the good work. Really pleased that someone is taking the time to help others obtain the best from Gimp as the only editor I have paid for is AstraImage (40 U.S. dollars roughly). PS, PI etc, might be alright but then you have to pay and to spend the time learning and I would much rather be outside at the telescope than sat in front of a computer. After being greatly disappointed with Windows 10 and the trouble it has caused me last year I have migrated to Linux on another machine so tutorials on Gimp are received with much gratitude. Something on Siril for stacking (free and on Linux) might be of benefit to people. Looking forward to catching up on your other vids now - thank you.
