Recently, I posted the following question on the Cloudy Nights Beginning and Intermediate Imaging Forum: “What’s Your Image Processing Software Suite?”. In the space of a few hours I received 12 responses listing 21 different programs used by astro imagers. Subsequent posts listed additional astronomy imaging programs. I'm really amazed at how many programs and plugins are available to address the various intricacies of CCD image processing. Here's the list so far – including some I found on my own:
- AIP4WIN
- Astroart
- AVI Edit
- CCDSharp
- CCDSoft™
- CCDStack
- DeepSkyStacker
- Envisage™
- FITS Liberator
