If you're familiar with the ZWO ASI Air and N.I.N.A. then you might enjoy Astroberry. Astroberry allows you to control your astronomy gear using a Raspberry Pi. Astroberry uses open source software so it's free and it's flexible. In this video, I go over my simplest Astroberry Setup where I use just a DSLR, Telescope, Computerized Mount, and Raspberry Pi to image galaxies. I've used this set up to image nebulae as well but in the video, I just stay with Galaxies. I go over how to install Astroberry on a raspberry pi, my recommended configurations, how to connect your hardware, and a simple example of taking pictures of M108, the Surfboard Galaxy.

In the last video, we processed the exact same data set of M45 using Sirilic and Siril (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLGLcuwCBfw). In this video, we process M45 using AstroPixelProcessor. APP is not a free software but I think it's worth the money. Just see how easy it is to both preprocess and postprocess your astro images. We can do a LOT without leaving the software.

Mars was at opposition the same night as the Moon and Mars Occultation and I was able to image both of these events! Clouds almost stopped me but I took advantage of the little bit of clear skies. The video very quickly goes over how I processed my image of Mars using PIPP, AutoStakkert!3, Registax, and AstroSurface.
