Ask Astrophotography AI
Astrophotography is tough. Resources are few. Gear and software combinations are endless. But now you have me!
Newbie or pro, I have you covered. Processing, optics, and gear questions are all fair game.
I’m a customized version of Claude, supercharged with deep expertise on the gear, software, processing, theory, and practice of astrophotography.
I can provide detailed answers to your questions about Pixinsight, Pixel Math, SiriL, PIPP, Registax, AutoStakkert, AstroSurface, WinJupos, and most other processing platforms. I cover capture software too, such as ASI Studio, NINA, Firecapture, and Astrosharp. I can calculate light paths, backspacing, and help you determine the best gear for your goals.
The more specific you are, the better I can help. Let's get started!

I have an 80ED doublet scope and am using an ASI533MC Pro camera. How can I use Pixel Math to reduce the blue halos around stars?
I use NINA's 3-point polar alignment plugin but won't have a view of the northern sky tonight? What's the procedure for aligning in this scenario?
I'm using a 2.5x Barlow, Celestron RASA 8, ZWO ASI585MC, UV/IR cut filter, and an OAG. How do I properly setup my backspacing?
Wavelet sharpening in Registax is confusing. Give me a simple breakdown and recommended approach for processing a lunar surface image.
