10-Minute Workflow for Beginners | GraXpert AI and Siril make it possible!
Since the release of the two fantastic AI tools in GraXpert, no one can really claim that proper image processing of their deep-sky image (raw stack) is too complicated or time-consuming. Here, I'll show you a quick, simple, yet effective 10-minute workflow using only free programs.
Please try it!
And when you look at the noise reduction/denoising in GraXpert... do you still need the expensive NoiseXterminator? I'd say: No.
Towards the end of the video, I can't resist a little dig at the ZWO Seestar users ;)
Good luck with your astrophotography and clear skies!
