It looks like I'll get getting a new telescope soon (6" Schmidt-Cassegrain) and with its equitorial mount, makes it better for astrophotography.
I was wondering if anyone used GIMP for combining multiple exposures of perhaps the same area of sky. Like maybe I could take 5-6 pictures of the Orion nebula, then combine all the pics together to produce a brighter, sharper etc. picture from those.
If GIMP's not the best, then are there any freeware programs out there that are better?
Thanks,
Zat
