alacant Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone This month's imaging with a 99% moon challenge. I set EKOS' scheduler for both clusters around 23:30 and waited for the first frame to arrive. Big diagonal gradient and peak dangerously over to the wrong side. Adjusted to 3 minutes and set it going again, but never expecting anything useful. Came back in the morning to find that lime and strawberry syrup had been poured over ever frame. Here's the before and after. With that mess, never expected to get anywhere near. Isn't modern software amazing! Thanks for looking. Canon eos700d @ ISO800 on ES nt150s. Processed using Siril and DarkTable under Ubuntu 18.04. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Edited June 6, 2020 by alacant 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinPSJ Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 As Arthur C Clarke is supposed to have said "any sufficiently advanced civilisation is indistinguishable from magic". Seems like the same is true for image processing software! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's designed by the Siril engineers magicians to prove just how bad you are at astrophotography. In reality, run it against the photometric colour db and you're looking at something taken on a moonless night. Still magic though!
