Hey Dwarfers and Astro-Nuts,
In our last massive post, we tackled a massive hurdle together: we proved that by using Affinity Photo, you can entirely replace Photoshop for post-processing and completely eliminate that endless monthly Adobe software tax!
That was a huge win. But there was still one giant, $300 elephant in the room holding back Smart-Scope shooters and us Dwarfers from achieving those impossibly crisp, Astrobin-quality results:
PixInsight
If you wanted the undisputed, heavyweight champions of AI processing,
RC Astro’s BlurXTerminator, NoiseXTerminator, and StarXTerminator—you had to buy into the expensive, complex PixInsight ecosystem.
BlurX, the absolute holy grail of image deconvolution and sharpening, was locked exclusively behind that massive paywall.
Until right now!
This is not an exaggeration: This is the biggest deal for astrophotography and Smart Scope shooters, well, since forever!
RC Astro has officially changed the game by making these tools accessible outside of PixInsight. That means you can now run the heavy computational magic of BlurX, NoiseX, and StarX directly on your linear data using the FREE SIRIL app or within Affinity Photo.
Not until this very moment has a truly pro-level package, anchored by the magic of BlurX, been possible without coughing up hundreds of dollars just for the “base software.”
Here is what this revolution means for you:
The PI Tax is Dead: You can bypass the $300 PixInsight behemoth cost entirely.
Already own RC Astro plugins? If you previously bought NoiseX, StarX, or StarShrink for other programs, you can use them right now in Siril or Affinity!
Pro-Level Detail for DWARF Data: We can finally pull pinpoint stars and jaw-dropping details out of DWARF 3 and Mini data using the exact same AI tools the pros use.
To prove it, I built a brand new, highly specific workflow combining SIRIL, RC Astro AI, and Affinity Photo. We took premium summer data from M8 (The Lagoon) and M17 (The Omega) and ran it through this exact hybrid pipeline.
I’ve documented every single step of this disruptive workflow in the brand new RC Astro SIRIL & AFFINITY Guide. It covers the installation, how to use the stand-alone tools, and the precise slider settings to make your Smart Scope data look like it was taken on a rig costing ten times as much.
Already in the CREW? Scroll down past the paywall to grab your brand new guide and the premium raw & Affinity files to try processing immediately!
I refuse to let expensive base software gatekeep your data anymore. If you want to unlock the true potential of your images without draining your bank account, I’m making you a deal.
