Windows Vs Mac: Which One Has More to Offer?

Before going into details with the software, let’s briefly discuss the difference between Windows and Mac environments. If you are on Linux, such as SiriL, the offer is very limited.

Whatever is your operative system of choice for your working or everyday use, it is a fact that when it comes to astrophotography, the largest selection of software is for Windows, particularly if you are looking for freeware software.

How To Install And Use Windows On Your Mac

If you are a Mac user and feel frustrated by the lack of software, particularly freeware software, there are few ways you can run Windows software on your Mac:

  1. Bootcamp. With Bootcamp, you can install Windows on your Mac on a dedicated partition of your hard drive. Bootcamp is free, but you need a Windows license for this to work.
  2. VMware ($) / Virtual Box (free). With these virtualization software, you can build a Windows virtual machine to run Windows alongside Mac OS X. This is the most flexible solution, but you need a valid Windows license.
  3. Wine. Wine is a free windows emulator that allows you to install and execute windows software without the need for Windows. Not all software can be properly emulated, and even if it does, it will be slower than usual. 64-bits support for Wine In Mac OS is yet experimental, and since Mac OS X Catalina does not support 32-bit software anymore, this option may not be viable for you.

Cross-Platform Software

Here is a list of software you can find for both Windows and Mac OS platforms. And, eventually, Linux.

Pre-processing, Post-Processing And Editing Software

In this category, we list all the software you need to pre-process light frames, stack images, and perform the final editing for the different kinds of astrophotography.

Adobe Photoshop CC

Cross The Moon Mac OS

General Photography – Commercial – Windows, Mac, IOS, Android

When it comes to astrophotography, Photoshop allows you to do basic pre-processing, such as (manual) stacking, histogram stretching, noise reduction, sharpening, and the usual tweaks to the final image.

One plus with Photoshop is that you can get action sets that are specific to astrophotography, such as ProDigital Astronomy Tools and Photokemi’s Star Tools action packs, helping you to run complex and tedious tasks.

Here you can watch a great video tutorial about processing astrophotography images with Photoshop.

GIMP

General Photography – Freeware – Windows, Mac, Linux

A neat freeware alternative to Adobe Photoshop that is quite capable. Unfortunately, there are no dedicated action packs nor plugins.

Here is a video about the use of Gimp to edit astrophotography images.
