IP4AP and All-Star Telescope Canada

Dear IP4AP friends,
                                  I just wanted to take a moment of your time and invite you to join Peter and me in welcoming our new IP4AP family member- Mr. Ken From of All-Star Telescope between Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta Canada- the new and exclusive Canadian dealer of our image processing tutorials. Thank you.   

PixInsight Part-2 Series Continues Production!

It is with great pleasure we announce the latest tutorial in our PixInsight Part-2 series which will post to www.ip4ap.com tonight 6/26/13-

PI-12 Nonlinear-6 Noise Reduction with ACDNR continues. GREYCstoration and the brand new TGVDenoise are introduced. 4:37min

We deeply apologize for the delay! Warren had presentations to prepare and travel for at RTMC and Celestron Perspective on Imaging, and Rogelio has been on a much needed vacation. While Warren has a SKY & Telescope article to prepare, production of Part-2 will be more consistent until the Advanced Imaging Conference approaches in October, where both Rogelio and Warren have presentations to prepare for! Thanks again for your patience.

In some ways, the break has been advantageous, allowing us to introduce TGVDenoise just in the nick of time, before wrapping up noise reduction!

Celestron Perspective on Imaging

Pleased to be presenting for Celestron Int'l at THIS great industry event! I'll get to talk about my part in the development of Astro FX software for Nightscape CCD cameras.

Apologies to PixInsight Part-2 subscribers- first RTMC, now back to L.A. for this. Will crank out new tutorials soon, thanks for your patience!

Happy to have some of my astrophotography print work being added to Old Town Scottsdale's Method Art Gallery coming soon!

IP4AP has officially added The Widescreen Centre as a dealer of our tutorial series! Thanks to Simon Bennett and staff for a nice order of DVDs. Support this great astronomy shop.

Big News at IP4AP

PixInsight Part-1 has been converted to the HTML5-friendly format of Part-2. This will make both series a joy to watch on non-Flash iPads and iPhones, Android Tablets, etc. It will of course continue to play as Flash in PC/Mac browsers. Additionally, the very nice Closed Captioning subtitles and Search Features available in PixInsight Part-2, now work for Part-1 as well! Please visit www.ip4ap.com

Also, IP4AP is inking a deal with France's Pierre-Astro http://www.pierro-astro.com/ to have our PixInsight content translated en Francais and carried by them 'Over There'!

Lastly, I'd like to promote our previous Soup to Nuts series. S/N (not signal to noise!) affectionately known as 'soup' is a terrific, fill-in tutorial series for those who have been with us at IP4AP. S/N teaches image processing Calibration/Reduction in a very simple and easy to follow way. It then demonstrates the theory in both MaxIm DL5 and MSB-Astroart 5, and proceeds with additional pre/postprocessing techniques in those programs.

Additionally, it catches viewers up to the workspace of Adobe Photoshop CS4 and 5, from where our earlier Photoshop series left off in CS2. We appreciate your support on these earlier series!

Thanks again for your overwhelming support of PixInsight Part 1 and 2!

New Dealer!

Hello IP4AP fans. We're very pleased and proud to have added Bintel as our exclusive partner down under in Australia! Don, Michael, and the rest of the knowledgeable staff will be selling our DVDs  to astro-imagers in Oz. Thanks for your time and interest!
