Apple Mac photo editing software?? was created by daveg54
Hi Guys,
Just new to the astrophotograhy and am wondering is there an equivalent to registax software when using an Apple mac?

Im using a Cannon dslr and need to reduce some noise/grain from photos... Also anywhere I can get help learning how to stack files etc??

Thanks Dave

There is lynkeos , but I haven't had a chance to try it and I don't know how it compares to registax.

Another option would be to go down the virtualisation route and use something like virtualbox* to run windows on your mac and process the images in that.

For learning there are plenty of tutorials online, of varying quality, which will get you started. I found going to club talks where some of the planetary imagers on here go through their process to be very valuable in learning too.

Cheers,

* disclaimer: I work for Oracle who acquired virtualbox, but it's a free product, so I'm not advertising really :)

Hi Dave, I use "Lynkeos" and find it works well for planetary imaging. Processing the same files on a Mac with Lynkeos and on a PC with Registax gives more or less identical results. For Deep Sky Objects I use "Nebulosity", which might interest you because it has functionality for controlling Canon cameras. Other options include "Keith's Image Stacker" and "Equinox Image". Have a look at Jerry Lodriguss site for listings of software packages for Mac (and Windows) ( www.astropix.com/HTML/I_ASTROP/SOFTWARE.HTM ). There is even a Yahoo Group for Macs in astronomy. Mike

PS I'm a big fan of "AstroPlanner" for planning and logging visual observations, and of the "Voyager" planetarium/scope control package.
