Don’t Buy NoiseXTerminator Until You Watch This (2026 Astrophotography Test)

In this video I put NoiseXterminator up against FREE astrophotography tools like Graxpert and Siril. Is the $60 plugin really worth it, or are the free options already good enough for deep sky images? 🤔 If you care about clean nebulosity, star detail, and not turning your images into plastic, this comparison is for you. In this side‑by‑side 2026 test, I compare: astrophotography noise reduction performance: How much faint detail is preserved? The “smoothness vs texture” trade‑off. Real background noise measurements from the same dataset. Where free tools like Graxpert and Siril shine – and where NoiseXterminator still has an edge. You’ll see the Triffid Nebula processed three ways so you can decide for yourself if paid AI tools are actually worth the money. 📌 Video Chapters 00:00 – Why this test matters (and what we’re really measuring) 01:05 – The data and capture details (Triffid Nebula) 02:10 – Baseline: unprocessed noisy stack 03:05 – Siril noise reduction (FREE) 05:10 – GraXpert AI denoise (FREE) 07:25 – NoiseXTerminator workflow (PAID) 09:40 – Side‑by‑side crops and pixel peeping 11:30 – Background noise value comparison chart 13:10 – Smooth vs plasticky: which look is “right”? 15:00 – My honest verdict – who should pay, who can stay free 17:00 – What I’ll use in my own processing from now on 🔧 Useful Links & Resources 🧮 My astrophotography exposure calculator app → https://astroimagery.com/techniques/i...
