An awesome, Windows-based, extremely full-featured image processing and analysis package. Written by James Burnell and richard Berry, this is by far the best value for the money of any Astronomical Image Processing program on the market. The software is only available with the purchase of the excellent Handbook of Astronomical Image Processing. HIGHLY recommended.

An excellent set of fast and powerful DOS-based applications to make life easier for Cookbook Camera users. Written by Richard Berry, these are not the prettiest applications in town, but they are some of the most useful tools you'll ever find if you are a CB245 user.

A freeware subset of QMips is available as a Windows application called WinMips. You can download a version of WinMips here.

A very powerful DOS-based set of applications to do a wide range of image processing tasks including excellent registration and combination of multiple images. Megfix combines the separate applications into one program and adds some new features. This is definitely a "best buy."
