Highly portable EEA device


Astrowl

Recommended Posts

I took advantage of the terrible weather in recent months to continue to develop the internal program of the Astrowl Box by adding the possibility of making timelapses (very useful for producing video sequences of dynamic scenes such as solar activities) and by developing an in-house algorithm to reduce light pollution or more broadly reinforce dimly lit objects. I was finally able to test this algorithm last night between two cloud gaps in the Paris suburbs (therefore heavily subject to light pollution) and the result is really promising.

I am attaching a photo of M13 without activation of this algorithm and with activation, we do not lose the luminous objects, but the background of the sky becomes really black.

The 3rd image still uses this filter, but also a Wiener deconvolution.

The 4th image pushes the exposure to 4 seconds, compared to 3 in the first 3, while retaining the anti-light pollution filter

And finally the last image shows the activatable filter whose power can be adjusted.

I would like to point out that all these filters can be activated live on the astrowl box as desired and that the images below are exactly those that appear on the astrowl box screen, without any processing other than those applied live.

The new case looks a lot better and more commercial. Though given the price it's getting into the territory of the Seestar S50 & Dwarf 2 (which have their own telescope, go-to & guiding embedded). As I mentioned earlier adding the option to do a polar alignment & plate-solve would hopefully expand your potential buyers market., as would a push to target assistant. A lot I know but with the right software features I think the product would be great.

And given that a lot of users of the Dwarf & Seestar post processing are you saving the raw data for later processing?
