The data from most for the new camera's is excellent , but to take advantage of it we need use and be competent with dedicated astro editing software, editing is now at least half the battle
I fell briefly into, and quickly out of, love with PixInsight. These days all I use it for is stacking, aligning and basic compositing, and running the RC Astro tools. You may wish to watch one of my more recent videos: ruclips.net/video/1-GYHplYRkE/видео.htmlsi=lOVZ2GBCebaQykLQ
With the release of the Seti Astro stand alone programs for noise and sharpness, do you still feel that PI is indispensable if you want to get the absolute best results your data will allow?
At this time, you will still get better results through PI, but that's mostly because it's the only platform that runs BXT. I bet Frank has Cosmic Clarity almost as good as BXT pretty soon.
I think the big challenge for me in learning PixInsight was the lingo/labelling of the different tools, compared to what similar tools would be labelled in other software. Image Solver, Spectrophotometric Color Calibration, Deconvolution, Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch, etc. took some time to unravel. It did help to be familiar with image editing using other software, but it took a while to work through the complete workflow. And it was a bit of a challenge coming from a layer based workflow to one that is not. But luckily, humans are very adaptable. And the results are great.
Oddly, after having gotten fairly good with PI, I became keenly aware of its limitations. It's inability to work in layers and the time it takes for it to show previews makes it a slow, cumbersome tool in many instances. Techniques I find indispensable, such as frequency separation which is what allows me to pierce moonlight, are exceedingly difficult in PixInsight. I find PI useful for stacking, stretching, linear fit, plate solving and analysis, a few other tools. But I don't use it for photo editing at all anymore.

Absolutely. I'd say more than half the battle.
Good video
But I see stars not good on Boole nebula
PI should do a better job with blur ext..
Showing the side-by-side images really highlights the difference between the two workflows. I may have to give pixinsight a shot
