Learning PixInsight?

Interested in learning PixInsight? Did you know that IP4AP offers all 5 of their PixInsight Primer chapters FREE to help you get started?! PI Part-1 thru 3 are available here. Enjoy! Makes a great holiday gift.

PixInsight Tutorials Complete!

It is with mixed emotions that we announce the completion of the PixInsight tutorial series from IP4AP.com. While it has been a tremendous amount of work researching, experimenting, and documenting the software over the last three years, it has also been very personally rewarding as well as a financial success. So, it is indeed a bittersweet moment for myself, Rogelio Bernal Andreo, and Pete Proulx.

Thanks to all who supported us through the production phases of PixInsight Part-1, Part-2, and Part-3. Several free samples of the latest series are available, as well as sample chapters of Part-2. Don't forget that the entire five-part primer of Part-1 is yours as our gift.

The Part-3 DVD will be available very soon, directly from us, OPT, Bintel, All-Star Telescopes, Teleskop-Service, and several other US and Euro retailers.

Our intention is to transition IP4AP to a monthly subscription model. This would enable us to produce tutorials profiling changes and improvements to PixInsight (and other software) when a full series isn't warranted. We would additionally offer object-oriented processing lessons, walking you thru included data, step-by-step. Please stand by!

Thank you again for your attention, support, and interest of my efforts over these three years! Thanks too, to Juan Conejero and the PTeam for their help. We are confident these series will remain valid for for PixInsight users for years to come. We also trust you will help us herald their uncompromising quality and value to astrophotographers everywhere, via the world wide web, in forums and user groups.

Thank you all, Warren, RBA, and Pete
