Hello,

as a beginner I like siril, which imho has following benefits:

• free (open source under gnu gpl)
• available on OS X, windows, linux
• preprocessing can be scripted (I love this, you tune the scripts to your needs, start the script and lay back while it's doing the work ...)
• has also post-processing functionalities. the photometric color calibration is awesome (and to a simple soul like me, i m p r e s s i v e!)
• the authors are very responsive; i filed 2 (supposedly) bugs - was more a brew packaging problem - and I got an answer the very same day

The only downside, the website has quite some broken links; so if you wish to download for the OS you're using go: downloads

I can not compare to "deep sky stacker", as dss is not available on OS X.
