Annie's Astro Actions
About Annie's Astro Actions:
I started in astrophotography shortly after I got our latest telescope. I found it a great way to combine my love of photography with my love of astronomy. Very quickly I realized that images like you see in magazines are very hard to create, requiring hours, and sometimes days, of processing after you take the images. I used Photoshop as a main tool in this processing and soon "Annie's Astro Actions" were born out of a frustration of repeating the same sequence of steps for every photo sometimes taking hours. I recently decided that other astrophotographers might benefit from my frustration-driven endeavor.
