Is there any open source software out there for GPS post processing, if so is it any use for day to day baseline processing?
I don't know of any off hand, but there are several (at least one) multi-constellation software suite that goes for ~$500 US. I'm currently playing around with it (in my "spare" time), but don't really have the time to get too far into it right now. It does show promise though.

Is it CHC software I believe that is about that price? Would be interested in knowing about any other software options.
I think this is what you may be looking for:
"RTKLIB is an open source software package written by Tomaji Takasu from the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology. Using GNSS raw data, it is possible to do real-time and post-processing to accurately determine a position, using differential information from two receivers. The software supports all major satellite constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, SBAS, QZSS) and major file exchange formats. The toolkit runs with a GUI on Windows and commandline tools on Linux."

Yes (CGO).
I have been pretty overwhelmed the last few weeks, but I have been getting a feel for it. So far, so good.

Ray Hintz wrote Hector the Vector, and a bunch of other utilities. You may find what you need on this page:

I think I read on here a while back that it has the same software engine as one of the mainstream providers. I have used the demo version and it looks good.

GNSS demo version processes baseline, but L1 only in demo. Not open source, but free.

I have been using this for quite a while and it has been useful and user friendly. Have been using it for L1 only.
HECTOR is a least squares adjustment software, not a post processing software.

I meant GNSS Solutions, Spectra Precision.
RTKLIB is good. I even contributed some source code to the project.
PAGES used to be available from NGS, but I don't see any links to it (or its successor, PAGES-NT). Not open source per se, but that would seem to be moot.

It's still there (PAGES_NT), and the CORS_08.bin and igs08.bin files were last updated yesterday (6/9/17).
It's been quite a while since I played around with it, but it is still one of the Gold Standards for GPS Processing (I don't think that it supports the "other" GNSS constellations [YET]).
