Photo description / processing

Coddington Nebula - a dwarf galaxy that is part of the M81 galaxy group in the constellation Ursa Major. The object is certainly not for such an aperture - it will need to be re-shot with a larger instrument. This frame is the first light of the new Askar SQA85/4.8 Median HFD according to ASTAP = 2.3

Hi Anton! First light—congrats! The scope is a beast. I have a question: is there any way to purchase PixInsight? Maybe you know something about it? After seeing your processed images, I realize it’s in a league of its own.

Hi Alexey! Thank you :)
It's not difficult to purchase - you need a contact with a foreign bank card, Kazakhstan works too.
We pay the license fee - it used to be around 120 Euros, and off we go :)

Understood, how did you acquire it? For contact, do you need a person there who is your own?

You just need to make a payment from any foreign card. The license code will be sent to the person's email, and that code will need to be passed on to you—that's all. If you know someone, great. If not, I think you can find any intermediary for a small commission; there should be plenty of them, in theory.

Okay, but I think you can use your own email. I've had a gmail.com account for about 15 years already. But overall, the process is clear, thanks!
