New tutorial series: Learn how to process astronomical data from Invisible Colors

Today we begin a new adventure with Invisible Colors: a series of video tutorials designed to help anyone learn, step by step, how to process the astronomical data we share for free.

The first video is now available, showing you how to get started with the files you can download from our website. These data were obtained with a dedicated astronomical camera (ASI 533 MC-PRO) and a Sky-Watcher Explorer 200 PDS telescope, capturing the beauty of the LDN 1183 nebula.

For this series, I'm using PixInsight, one of the benchmark software programs for astronomical image processing. I've been working with this tool for over 16 years, and over the years I've learned that, although it may seem complex at first, with good guidance it's possible to master it and achieve spectacular results. My goal is to help you take full advantage of its potential in a simple and practical way through these tutorials.

The idea behind this series is that you can not only enjoy the final images, but also experience the entire process: from the raw telescope file to the processed image that reveals all the nuances of the deep sky.

If you've always wanted to learn how astronomical photographs are processed or simply want to discover the secrets hidden in the data of the universe, this is your chance.

See you in the next episode.
