This video is basically PixInsight for dummies :)
Note that it is critical to follow the workflows one by one, as I gradually speed up from example to example as you get more and more familiar with PixInsight! It's also important to have all the same modules installed, so make sure to follow the video step by step!

Concerning the HOO workflow for OSC cameras, I'm told the technically correct method is to do unlinked stretch (instead of linked stretch as in the video) and use Ha as Luminance in the Narrowband Normalization process - if you have issues with colors in HOO, you can give it a go!
