Due to my summer holidays off work starting today, I am activating Beast Mode and revamping my PixInsight tutorials on Light Vortex Astronomy. The revamp will address all the shortcomings in my older tutorials by replacing them with more consistent tutorials that teach from the basics all the way up to workflows, with various simple and complex techniques explained in the middle. They are also more up-to-date to both, PixInsight itself and my way of working with images. 

I start off with my Basics tutorial on PixInsight, titled "Introduction to PixInsight and its Interface". This is meant to take someone from saying "What is this hellish program and how do even start using it?" to someone who is competent enough to know where stuff is and try stuff out, with the ins and outs of the different features. 

This would be considered essential reading for anyone following my new tutorials as this will be assumed knowledge, thus optimising my writing to be more concise and to-the-point. Enjoy!

Kayron's tutorials are very good, well thought out and stright forwards to follow; for anyone looking at PI, i would strongly recommend them alongside Harryshed

If it is cloudy over the weekend,  will certainly be giving the a review.  Video tutorials like these are so useful, good work for taking the time to do them

Thank you for your comments, it's good to know it's helpful! It took a few hours a day for three days to write it.

I have updated the screenshots on all my current tutorials, including this one, to display them at full-resolution as captured. It should be much easier to read settings on them now.
