Description

*****IMPORTANT*****
This is the one and only FULL course on CCDStack ever made. However, this software was in its heyday from 2005 to 2015. There are still users so this course is a reference for the software and it is courtesy to keep the material available. It is also excellent content for a easy way to learn the fundamentals of image processing. That being said, this is *old* stuff. Please take that into consideration.

If you find value in this content please support me at Patreon.

*************************

Released August 2016, for Version 2.9 and later.

CCDStack is a clever and concise tool box for CCD imagers. It offers an array of powerful utilities including data normalization, rejection, deconvolution, resampling, interpolation methods, and conditional range adjustments that put you in control of the numbers and the results.

By the end of this experience, you will not only be able to use CCDStack proficiently- but also witness how creativity in your processing blossoms with the flexibility that CCDStack offers. More than a “how to” video, this instructional video (daringly) goes to great lengths to illustrate many of the “behind the scenes” concepts that will help the user make the best choices and know why they are choosing them!.
