Nebulosity for CCD camera and filter wheel control as well as image capture ( $80).PHD2 for drift alignment and autoguiding ( FREE).AstroTortilla for plate solving to centre targets precisely ( FREE).Stellarium with StellariumScope and Cartes du Ciel for Goto ( FREE).EQMosaic for generating mosaic segments of deep space ( FREE).EQMod for running the mount and polar aligning ( FREE).Besides, a suite of free programs alongside some much-cheaper programs in combination always gave me the exact same imaging results. Of course, the ~$600 price tag for the full version with all the features certainly never helped to convince me. I have always resisted the mere idea of buying into and using MaxIm DL, mainly due to the seemingly out-dated and cluttered interface it features. ​Getting into astrophotography for me, as for everyone else, has involved a journey of a lot of learning and with it, trying a number of programs that would handle different tasks. ![]()
