Dave Eagle, FRAS, astrophotographer, author and astronomy tutor, has been running a number of successful hands-on astronomical imaging workshops and outreach for many years. Following on from this success, he has converted some of the contents of his workshop tutorials into these handy guides.
Serif Affinity Photo has been around for about 5 years now and is a powerful cost-effective alternative to Photoshop. So much so that many professional photographers are switching over to using it.

Dave Eagle affinity astro processing 14 December 2021 | Andy
Bought this book as I'd installed affinity studio on my computer & I was struggling with the online tutorials, I found it very easy to follow and had improved the processing of my imaging from the start.

This book is very much an intro into using Affinity Photo for astroimage processing, as the size of the book suggests, but is very well thought out and the examples fairly easy to follow. I'll probably get more of this authors guides
