For those looking to greatly accelerate their Astrophotography processing skills below are folks that I have worked with to help improve their processing.  Several in their first year or even first months in the hobby and already producing images that folks years in would be happy with!  

Able to work in APP, Pixinsight, or Photoshop.  I am familiar with RC-Astro and several other PI plugins.  As well as Topaz for Denoise and Sharpening if needed.

John C - Flaming Star and Tadpoles processed in SHO.  This was the result of a single 2 hour session using both Pixinsight and Photoshop.  We started from the beginning on this one.  John did a nice job collecting data and the final outcome turned out nice!

Michele B. - Orion's Nebula HDR Composition with 120s and 20s images combined in Pixinsight and finished in Photoshop.  Only around 4h of one shot color (no filter) integration the goal was for a very "natural or realistic" look.  We could have pushed this much further but wanted to let the natural beauty shine through.

Michele B. - Flaming Star Nebula done in OSC with the Antlia Triband filter.  The goal was to get away from a bright red Ha dominant look and show off some of the Oiii data within the head of the star.

Michele B. - Thor's Helmut with only 4.5h of OSC Antlia Triband Data!  We really had to pull out the stops to get this one to look good with so little signal.  We are going to follow up with more data using an Ha/O3 Narrowband filter and another 10-15 hours of integration to really bring out all this nebula has to offer!

Cone Nebula and Fox Fur - We really wanted to keep the soft velvety texture of the Ha gas and allow the Oiii in the center to come out.  This is roughly 8 hours of OSC data with the Antlia Triband Filter also by Michele.
