Can somebody suggest some software that would allow us to do similar
today including analysis of colors of pixels.
Obviously we do not need any software that makes finding astro objects
easy but anything that is useful for imaging of very dim objects would
be useful in our app.
Suggestions for software? *We'd like to try something less expensive (

You can try ImageJ. It is excellent, free and actively user supported
through the NIH. If it will do what you need it's a great deal.
