TiffsAndAstro

I even really appreciate flos may include cloud stickers. It's not nessecery, but nice.

T-shirt is just about big enough for me. Baseball cap is a little small but I'll just pull it down harder. The Barlow looking thing is a mistake, or maybe free gift,? No intentions of doing visual but maybe I could use it somehow to image planets? Goes up to 5x dunno if f28 is fast enough lol

Svbony605cc various bits and extras. Wasn't expecting to also get a sv215 included. Variable zoom Barlow? Will Google.

weirdly just had one of these arrive unexpectedly with my new camera. maybe i will try it one day for imaging planets?

Also some cooled osc can run uncooled via usb only. It's a least an option to have if never used.

Now I'm not so sure I've done what I thought I done. **** so i gave microsoft ICE a try and it stiches linear files in like 4 clicks. might not be perfect but if anyone wants to try a mosaic this might be the way. stitches linear tiffs just trying to process but no sign of a seam or stuff.

ok so this my 'final result'. for a expected dead loss via a test and pushing buttons at random, i think its decent. might have to try a proper test next time

above image was the quickest of quickest tests. only got a chance just now to have a quick first pass on it. but i think you're right. might be a fluke. only problem i can see so far is the stack is same resolution as my sensor, so frames must have been scaled down to fit. even so i am quite chuffed right now. probably sadder once i have a go at it core is a pita gonna have to watch some videos. also will try dithering the image for some extra er size. not resolution exactly

so on sunday night i took about an hour on m31. didn't want to rotate my camera + ota to frame it better as i just wanted to image something while messing with my guiding. was quite happy with the above quick stretch but didn't like cutting edges. so last night i had the great idea of doing a 2 panel mosiac in legendary sequencers in nina, with 50% overlaps with the intention of processing them all into one single result. didn't work. so i took each of the pp_lights from each night, put them into the sequencer and got the above histrogram result ill see how visible the seam is after i post process can't seem to remove the accidental repost below

hope its ok to list what i did. the initial stack in histogram view looks promising. ill update as i go through anyone see any problems please let me know. i can see a seam in histrogram view

Also it's a bad time of year for M31 as it's low down. My image was a quick test to see if it really exists. I'll do hopefully 10 hours osc on it later in year when it's higher and darker.

personally, i like this a lot. it looks 'real' whatever real is

I was too lazy to take flats last night for 1 hour m52 and 1 hour m31. Ive only done a quick test stretch on M31 and already regret it.

Lol that's very kind of you to say but they're rubbish. I only show you to see how same image can look different after processing and at the time I wasn't trying to make them different "hues" (?).

Maybe just try the colour saturation in siril?

Er, your image is really not far off epic as far as I'm concerned. If you're looking for red blobs, that's usually from hydrogen alpha emissions via a filter added back in. With a modded dslr you might have to extract it via siril script then composite it back in to taste as a luminance channel via siril? I'm fairly new so bare that in mind ;( Also galaxies seems to be portrayed as mostly white/blue more than yellow. But I don't know if that is a choice or reality, see my own attempt few months ago

I would be very happy with this. Stars maybe a bit out of focus? Really nice image though

Doubt it. Maybe on your back

Much nicer than the one hour I got last night. Maybe a tad orangey? Did you try photometric colour calibration in siril? Looking closer, your image is even more much much nicer than mine. Your core is so much less blown out than mine and you also have more detail throughout. And 3x longer subs than me...I only done a quick preview stretch on mine. I'll try get another hour on it tonight if lucky.

Chrome remote desktop might be worth a look?

Yeah there are a billion on eBay. But I'm trying to find exact type. Some are counter sunk, some have holes but the slotted versions seem easier to locate on the dovetail holes.

Well I managed to attach the dovetail bar, inverted, to the top OTA ring screw holes. Now just trying to find something to bolt to that and attach my guide scope to. While leaving room to attach a tiny pc to
