Is PixInsight easy for beginners to astrophotography to learn?

PixInsight has a notoriously steep learning curve and can be incredibly intimidating for beginners due to its complex, node-based interface. It relies heavily on background mathematics, meaning users often have to read extensive tutorials just to learn how to stack and stretch a deep-sky image.

What is the process of "Blinking" in PixInsight used for?

The Blink process in PixInsight is used to quickly sort through hundreds of individual sub-frames or raw FITS files. By rapidly alternating the images, astrophotographers can easily spot and delete bad frames ruined by satellite trails, clouds, or poor tracking.
