Deep Sky Dad makes great flat panels - I have two of them. Basically he 3D prints the assembly and adds a light panel and servo motor. The ASCOM driver is on the product pages. Takes a couple months to receive one after you place an order. He's base…
Here's a reprocessed version of OSC frames captured back in January, applying Adam's techniques from the latest Horizons OSC episodes. The things I improved upon:- preserving objects in the stars only image (including a galaxy!) by using the comet s…
FWIW, for StarXTerminator, you can select one of the other AI neural networks to shave off more time by trading quality. By evaluating each one on just a single sub, you might find the difference to be negligible.
From the SXT release notes:
The AI1…
Makes sense, thanks!
I'm going to reprocess an OSC session (104 x 90s subs) from mid-January using the latest info. I appreciate the level of detail and the "tricks" in your videos. They have helped me transition away from Photoshop for post-process…
Dude - you are on fire with the comet videos! :) About to watch the OSC ones.
Quick question - for RGB mono captures, is there a rough formula for figuring out how often to cycle through a filter as a function of time, let's say for 60 second subs? …
Here's the final result of my attempt. I ended up ditching the luminance frames in the TL data, as I felt I could get a slightly better result with RGB only.
Besides learning how to process comets in PI (sweet!), a few more things I picked up:
1. F…
Also, I discovered that during comet alignment of the registered images (to get the "comet subtracted" files), setting pixel interpolation to Bicubic B-Spline does a better job removing the comet in this particular data set.
Note that I actually do…
@BlockHead I'm a member there too. :) I downloaded the same data set and am applying what I learned in your 2023-01-27 and Telescope Live lessons. I captured some data last week using a similar setup that TL used but it wasn't as good quality (Chil…
Hey Adam!
Love the amazing videos you've put together, and I'm so glad I joined here.
I noticed you are only using RGB filters for comet imaging - why not Luminance? And if I'm using a camera with great sensitivity and bit depth (e.g. IMX455 sensor…
