Wayne I have Windows 7 Pro with IE 9 and have no problems viewing Mikes pictures Joe Goss -----Original Message----- From: Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy) Sent: Friday, March 09, 2012 15:41 To: az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [AZ-Observing] Re: M81 & M82 - February 2012 Benson, AZ 85602 hm ph: 520-586-2244 Thanks, Mike, I use Windows 7 and the latest IE browser that came on my newish Compaq laptop. Unusual for me to have software this "current". Is there anybody else having problems viewing Mike's images? All I get when I try to view the images is a red x and the names of the images. None of the other images show either. I've tried to access his images a few times as he has made his announcements in the past, but to no avail. Have a safe trip home, Mike. It's been very windy and cool here. My wife says it snow-flurried in Prescott, but not enough to stick.

Not sure what's going on there. The best way that I can describe the appeal of PixInsight to me is that it treats the image as true data and acts upon it with repeatable, objective algorithms. The data-driven object-oriented approach just feels more intuitive to me than the subjective 'canvas' of Photoshop. We'll see how the rest of my evaluation goes, but I'm quite happy with the software so far. I have a couple of major issues with their licensing agreement that I'm trying to work out before I commit to it as a my image processing platform of choice. The trial license requires an Internet verification of the software upon every startup. If the full license has this limitation....I'll have to pass on it. Internet tends to be ... spotty ... at my observing sites and on long, cross country flights. :-) I'm sitting in the Detroit airport now stewing about this just a little bit.
