Astrophotography for me is just a hobby and a field for experiments. My main occupation is writing software. I do not chase beauty and artistic perfection in astrophotography, but I try to make my software do what I want it to do perfectly.

I have been developing software for astrophotography for over 10 years. My product - PGMania - is a comprehensive solution for astronomers, covering most needs in astrophotography software. All of my deep sky photos are made in this program. It is shareware, and in some cases completely free. More details here https://sourceforge.net/projects/pgmania/files/

Photos taken with AI or manipulations, such as removing stars and creating collages are not for me. My photos are natural, there is nothing in them except what the camera and telescope saw. Processing in PGMania does not distort reality and does not introduce into photographs anything that was not there originally. They may lose in terms of spectacle, but they definitely win in terms of documentary. These are my principles.
