Whoa…Using Claude for Astrophotography??? 🔭🪐☄️

Don’t know if we have any other hobbyist astrophotographers here but I just learned that a widely used software called Pixinsight has an MCP server!

The software is used for data post processing from raw astro photos. It is script based so it makes perfect sense in hindsight that this would work with an LLM. So curious how well this can work if anyone else possibly has played with this (not holding my breath) I could see it doing well from a raw pixel data transformation perspective but the LLM obviously does not have any of the artistic ability a human does. May give it some of my data to play around with.

For reference I’ve attached my latest photo I took in April of m101 the pinwheel galaxy.
