My Budget Astrophotography Editing PC for $1500

Hey everyone! In this video I talk about my editing PC for astrophotography, how much each part costs and why I chose them. I also discuss how to configure Pixinsight for better speed, and demonstrate the benchmarks for this computer. Hopefully this will help you all choose a better way to edit astrophotography, and save yourself some time and headache.

I went the 2nd hand enterprise workstation route. HP z600 - £80, dual Xeon x5675 CPU - £20 for both, 96gb ram from a blade server - £60 and an NVME SSD - £35. The case has all of the fans and even has a ram cooler. Designed to be ran full tilt 24hrs a day. Dual CPU and triple channel ram with an NVME for astro is 👌 and really doesn't have to cost much

I recently got a pc for astro editing too, starnet went from 7 mins to complete to about 30 seconds

Do you think M2 chip in new Macs will be good for this?

[@mBaggins]

I have the PC but what about free software for someone who cant really afford adobe software? What would you recommend

[@Miguel_Noppe]

Good choices, and you really kept the cost down, well done. I've gone the same route, actually I got the same case, but I've spent €5000 and went all in (at that time) and got the Rizen 9 5950X, Samsung 980 nvme's and 128GB of RAM to name. This pc was a huge boost for my processing, I used to work on a 17" laptop so you can imagine the difference... CS

What monitor? Thanks.

[@nwelch1001]

Why Windows and not Linux? Considering it’s a Pixinsight computer..

Hello. Need your advice . How about best laptop for astrophotography editing ?

[@ffaabb79]

There is no reason for not buying a M1 macbook pro nowadays. Just gamechanger. And I've been on PC my whole professionnal life before that (25yrs)
