I first bought a Croman plug-in back around 2000. The plug-ins have been so popular he's doing it full time now. One of the things that has made Photoshop so much more pleasant to use in processing astronomy images is a series of plug-ins from Russell Croman, a former engineer, chip designer, and software guru by trade, who has put those software skills to use making plug-ins that don't work with anything else but astronomy images. I think it has been slowly winning astrophotographers over from Photoshop, but it's got a big learning curve, and many photographers who already have lots of time logged with Photoshop may stay with Adobe. There are some dedicated programs for astrophotography. The light coming from these distant objects is dim, so it's going to be a while before those photons stack up. Star shooters know you can spend hours getting a good picture of a galaxy or nebula. I use a small wide field telescope that is easy to travel with, and I have a home observatory that houses a 12" scope that is designed only for photography.
