Anyone try the new BlurXTerminator ?

Hey Ed!

Thanks so much for sharing this. I have not gotten to where I was doing any Deconvolution. In fact, I had see that as an option in Pixinsight and wondered what it was. So this BlurXTerminator looks like it will save me a ton of headaches! I am going to get it.

Yes I have. Although pricey for a plugin it does an awesome job. My first quick test below:

Check out Sascha Wynn's video of it and its examples and his other videos as well which are very good.

So do you apply this right after color calibration while the image is still in the linear state? Then go on processing as normal? Does this cut our any steps in WBPP?
Thanks in advance!

It is recommended that it is applied right after background extraction and neutralization, so very early in the process. No does not affect WBPP but could replace deconvolution and sharpening if that's part of your PI workflow.

Since I have StarXTerminator, I plugged my registration in to get the $10 discount, but so far no emails back so I can purchase it. I am ready! I also took the time then to finally put in the order for the NoiseXTerminator, and waiting on that one too. Russell should automate that a bit more, the website reminds me of websites I built by hand 40 years ago. I am sure it's functional, but for as awesome as his Astro is, he really should upgrade his website.

Haha true regarding his website Jim !

I usually get an email within an hour of purchase and did so again with BXT. Did you enter your email and permanent license key on the Purchase page?

I did enter it, but nothing. I entered my email to get the 3o day trial for BlurXTerminator and got it back immediately into my regular email. I have checked my Junk folders, but nothing so far. So I am playing around with the Trial copy for now.

Send Russell an email via the support link/page, he usually responds quickly there as well (I reported a bug in BXT ) ...should have gotten a rebate for that haha

Another great product form Russell - I have all 3 of his latest tools. Well worth the money. I may not go back and reprocess a bunch of my existing data with this, but going forward it will be part of my workflow for certain.
