  • Thanks, Adam. I know the exact videos you are referring to and will re-watch. 
  • 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…
