As an update to this, I managed to get the python versions correct, and have the neural net training on my own data. I have about 5 images that I de-starred and set as the training data, and have run 30 "epochs" so far. Aiming for around 100 before I retry the crescent nebula again. Anyone that can help, even with unedited, good examples of diffraction spikes that I can edit would be great! -
I took a few images with my canon 450 with my Dob but it was standing on an EQ Platform which allowed me longer exposure times. Here’s one, I can’t remember the exposure but I think it was 10 seconds, not very good. You’ll be able to get some good moon images though. -
It's a very nice tripod though 😎 I love my report 😍 Helen -

It won’t be easy, the problem is you have to keep nudging the mount to keep the target centred so you’ll have some wobble when you take the pics.

Yet another beautiful day on the east coast. Went for a walk along the dunes at Winterton on Sea. Watched the little terns fishing and return to shore beaks crammed with silver fish. Was watched in turn by a suspicious seal.· 0 replies
As the evening was clear I decided to photograph Jupiter and Saturn rising up over the sea from a vantage point on Corton Cliffs near Lowestoft. Got some nice widefield images with my Canon Dslr simply mounted on a standard tripod at f=18/mm. and ISO 1600 and 3200 - 10sec exposures. Will try stacking them tomorrow to bring out fainter background stars and increase signal to noise. Got back home just after midnight. Waxing Moon setting in the west was very red nestling in the trees near the horizon.

Beautiful night tonight. Been out in the garden with my bins. Summer Milky Way is now well above my hedge to the East. Summer Triangle nicely displayed. Hercules is directly above our backyard. There seems to be many more satellites in the sky. I thought I would test this by laying my DSLR on its back on the patio table and taking a series of 10x10 sec exposures at ISO3200 and f=18mm. I was amazed and rather dismayed by how many were picked up by my camera in such a short time. I also believe that I'm recording radar reflections from increased numbers of satellites with my sdr.· 0 replies
