Real picture of the books

"Mastering PixInsight" does much more than covering PixInsight from A to Z.

In addition to including the most complete PixInsight Reference Guide on the planet to date, the book takes an intimate look at RBA's huge private repository of countless personal processing tips, "tricks", methods and know-how accrued over more than ten years.

• The most complete PixInsight Reference Guide you will find today.

  I wrote the first PixInsight Reference Guide nearly 10 years ago, setting the base for many other authors to write their own tutorials, so you can trust I made sure this one doesn't miss a thing and it's 100% up-to-date. I've seen what's out there today - it's good but it can be better. Only this section could be a book on its own (and well, it ended up being one!), but I also wanted to give you something more personal.

• Not just for beginners, not just for experts.
  

  Everyone wants to produce great astrophotos, but everyone also has different processing skills.

  • Mastering PixInsight starts at the very beginning: installing the software! It introduces it gently, then it starts with a complete workflow aimed at those who have never used PixInsight yet.
  • With that done, the book makes sure we get to know every other details about using PixInsight until there's little left.

  • Then it spends a good part of the book doing a new processing round from the beginning, but this time not leaving anything behind.

  • The book continues covering some individual topic in great detail: narrowband, from small to huge mosaics, HDR, etc.

  • It wraps up introducing parallel workflow, and a few other things.

• If you order the paper copy, you also get the PDF

  By also getting the digital version, not only you'll have an easy way to "carry" the book everywhere with you, but you'll always have access to the latest revisions.

Even superb content may feel dull if presented in average quality printed media. When you buy Mastering PixInsight, you will see we wanted a book that breathes quality, not only in the content but also "in and out". Out of the over 4,000 copies sold, we have only received compliments, and we're certain you will not be disappointed. Right page and font size, nice semi-hard cover, premium flyleaves, strong binding, all pages full color, etc.

Also, by us handling the entire publishing process, we are in control of the quality. We - not a general bookseller or publishing company - produce, manage, handle and pack every single book we ship.
