It is this channel as well as Cuiv the lazy geek that persuaded me to start using Siril, and the both of you have been extremely helpful in getting to grips with the software.

Thanks for the video. Very informative. I edit my Dwarf II images with online tools like Fitsscrubber and finish them with LIghtroom Mobile, but indeed, the stars are too bright and sometimes so are the nebula's or part of them. I saved this video in case I buy a PC (which may be sooner than later) 👍

@egrava2297 6 ай бұрын

Excellent tutorial. One additional thing that I do before running the scripts is quickly looking at the individual fits files with some type of viewer program. I can then reject any frames that were photobombed by airplanes or satelites, or blurred by wind or shaking, or clouds,etc. I also found that because the Dwarf uses 2 x 2 binning,the effective focal length for the plate solving function is 100 / 2 or 50 mm. If script for processing with drizzle is used,then 100 mm is the correct value.

@DeepSpaceAstro 6 ай бұрын

Great tip, but you wouldn't need to remove the ones with planes or satellite trails. They'll be removed automatically.

Hey Rich. I caved and ordered me a Seestar S50 and wanted to know if this same workflow would work with its raw files? Or do I need a new script for processing? Any advice would be appreciated. THX

If you can take darks with the S50, then yes it should be the same. If you can't, leaving you with only the light frames, then this script will allow you to stack and process. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9x9jdKpl8rQinU.html

@DeepSpaceAstro 7 ай бұрын

Assuming you have set your focal length and pixel size set correctly. Imagine the image split into 4 quadrants, and then draw a selection the size of 1 of those quadrants roughly in the top-left corner. Try the color calibration again. If it fails, move then selection to the top-right and try, then bottom-left, then bottom-right. Let me know.

Yesterday I used your beginners guide where you used a different nebula (red one, forgot the name) trying to get the best result out of 90 pictures of 1 minute exposure of M42. Your easy tutorial works perfectly, I had just one problem as my 90 frames were quite overexposed, and that is bringing the purple color back in. In my single frames there is a lot of this purple, but after stacking I could not retrieve it. Any thoughts on what might be the cause?

@DeepSpaceAstro 7 ай бұрын

It's hard to say without seeing the data. You could try stretching with GHS instead of Asinh & Histogram Transformation to see if that gives you the results you're looking for. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gqmFnbR0p7ayk40.html
