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.
Clear skies,
Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy)

Wayne,
You don't need an account to view images on Astrobin. 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.
Mike
