Wait, what is not star trek ds9?

Observational Astronomy program. You use it to de-noise, subtract dark frames, subtract bias frames, and subtract flat frames. Then you stack those 3 together and overlay it onto your science images to get a clear picture with all the noise taken out. You can also use it for coloring and stacking frames for a full color picture.

It’s basically rudimentary photoshop with more coding and built specifically for astronomers

Hey so I want to watch the new star trek show thats gonna come out in 2017 (and probably all the recent movies too) but I've never seen a star trek movie/show so do you have any suggestions on where to start???

you can do it in order (so TOS, the TOS movies, tng, ds9, voyager, enterprise)

but like,, you dont need to see any of that to see the reboots. 

TOS is on netflix, along with the animated series. TOS is only 3 seasons and its a good place to start. i dont think any of the reboots are on netflix *cough cough* putlocker *cough* but anything with kirk is a good starting place. then i’d recommend tng after that, and then voyager.
