Starfisher Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 This image is the result of stopping to work with my laptop , who is near his end after 10 years it seems and the introduction for me to the marvel called Raspberry Pi . it was a nice experiment which learned me to use remote controlling my telescope, cameras,... . it was also a baptising for me to learning to work with SSH , VNC,.... all things i never knew till it came up to me, to buy a Raspberry Pi and learning Linux. And i am very pleased how all came out. now my mount keeps tracking. i was also happy with the guiding, online platesolving,... things which gave me some headaches with my laptop. all processing is done in PI and the TIFF-JPEG is done by Darktable. Pixinsight is a lovely program to use ones you learn to make and use masks , dare to split up your rgb and working on them sepratly. Hope you like it , constructive critism is always welcome ofcourse 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAR Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Looks like you have some good nebulosity there but it's trying to hide behind the stars. Try some star reduction and maybe darkening the background a touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfisher Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 might be indeed a good thing to do some more star reduction , i only applied it once because i never did it in PI. might look up for it first at some tutorials to be sure or even make just for fun a starless one too . thanks for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside is that I've seen some very noisy results as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkAR Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Stars much better and the nebulosity is really showing through now. Just a little mottling showing on the background though but overall a huge improvement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x6gas Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Second version is really getting there in my view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a little mottling showing on the background though but overall a huge improvement. true, the mottling is a result of going maybe a bit to aggressive in my starmask i used for star reduction. but there will be more in the future to keep n mind with hopefully some better results. Also, i will need more subs to take ofcourse. But i am planning to get the whole Veil Nebula in one picture , but first see how i do on ohter subjects too. no rush 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
