StarTools might have been worth including for processing software.  

[powerlord]

Ooo yeh. I'll try add

[powerlord]

Added. Its after other but didn't know if I changed positions the poll might get screwed.

[IDM]

You might also want to include Gimp as quite a few people seem to use it as it’s free. I certainly use for final manipulations.

Thanks for doing the poll.

Nothing that is on any of your lists.

PIPP

Autostakkert

GIMP

[ngwillym]

this must be  DS surevey.

AS!3 for planetary/lunar/solar stacking, Registax or Astrosurface for other processing. imPPG for Solar processing

[DaveS]

AstroArt 8 for stacking and post. Occasionally I'll stack in DSS on the odd occasions AA doesn't like my data (Mostly NB) and finish in Affinity.

[WolfieGlos]

Siril to stack and edit. Starnet V2 to remove stars, Siril to edit stars and gimp to recombine with some star reduction. Maybe some curves in gimp to finish up if needed.

I often stack with ASTAP. Sometimes DSS does a better job, Sometimes ASTAP. I often, nearly always, use ASTAP for live stacking during acquisition. Adds to the fun.

I then save out the stack as a TIFF for use in Photoshop. 

I'm in no rush to try other software. I'm still learning what I use already. I did try Siril some time ago but we just didn't understand each other. That's not a HMI I'd write if I was a software developer, which I'm not...

[powerlord]

anyone can do a poll - feel free. I just chose what I thought were probably the most popular - I could be wrong.
