All set up and ready to test this tonight. Thank you

Link for background doesnt work. Where can i download it?

Rich, Everytime I run the "flats" master maker script I get an error. With the other 2 scripts it's good. This is the error. How do I fix it? 17:40:25: Execution time: 516.53 ms 17:40:25: # Convert Flat Frames to .fit files 17:40:25: Running command: cd 17:40:25: Setting CWD (Current Working Directory) to 'C:\Users\XXXX\Pictures\Astro\flats' 17:40:25: Running command: convert 17:40:25: Convert: processing 30 files... 17:40:25: Conversion succeeded, 30 file(s) created for 30 input file(s) (30 image(s) converted, 0 failed) 17:40:25: Running command: cd 17:40:25: Setting CWD (Current Working Directory) to 'C:\Users\XXXX\Pictures\Astro\process' 17:40:25: # Calibrate Flat Frames. 17:40:25: # Make sure you've correctly populated the Master-bias field, under Preferences | Pre-processing in Siril. 17:40:25: Running command: calibrate 17:40:25: Checking sequences in the directory: C:\Users\XXXX\Pictures\Astro\process. 17:40:25: ../$defbias.[any_allowed_extension] not found. 17:40:25: Error in line 42 ('calibrate'): invalid arguments. 17:40:25: Exiting batch processing. 17:40:25: Setting CWD (Current Working Directory) to 'C:\Users\XXXX\Pictures\Astro' 17:40:25: Script execution failed.

I ran both deconvolving actions, (object first, then stellar) then took the saved tiff into siril to stretch. But after I stretched, it made really ugly rainbow stripes running across the image. It only did this when stretched in siril, (graxperts stretch didn't show any) do you have any idea why this would happen?

Three pieces of ED glass ????

I have version 1.2.6. This script, after copying to the scripts folder, is not visible by Siril in the Scripts tab.

So I do not have any biases or flats but I do have the folders in my lets say M51 map. lights, darks, flats , biases When I do the OSC preprocess it gives an error : 13:01:18: Running command: requires 13:01:18: # Convert Bias Frames to .fit files 13:01:18: Running command: cd 13:01:18: Setting CWD (Current Working Directory) to 'E:\Astrophotography\30-01-2025\Process\M 51\biases' 13:01:18: Running command: convert 13:01:18: No files were found for conversion 13:01:18: Error in line 26 ('convert'): generic error. 13:01:18: Exiting batch processing. 13:01:18: Setting CWD (Current Working Directory) to 'E:\Astrophotography\30-01-2025\Process\M 51' 13:01:18: Script execution failed. Do i really need those files ?

Rich, bardzo dziękuję za Twoje wyjątko przydatne filmy, które pomagają w obsłudze tego wspaniałego programu!

This is one of the best tutorials I've come across on siril. Straight to the point, no irrelevant chatter. Keep up the great work. I've subscribed and will check out your other videos. I'm brand new to this software have watched alot of tutorials and I was still confused. This one really cleared up a lot of that confusion. Thanks. you are a good teacher.

Love your videos and watch all I can, and have learnt SO MUCH Thank you! One thing that happens to me though is I have to rewatch them, take notes of the steps, in order to try it. I’m newbie, but do you have any place where we could download this steps on your videos to be more efficient? I work a lot and between taking pictures 😅 and watching videos…. Do you have some sort of basic subscription to get this? Still, taking my time to take notes and appreciate SO MUCH you shating your knowledge!

Those scopes are not worth it

Excellent review. When I open my image it’s not green. Photometric Color Calibration is greyed out so I need to look at that 😊

very coool ! i dont own this scope but i always learn watching your video <3

That was a great video. I hadn't seen much on the Celestron Origin. The final image was great. I wish they had a mosaic mode.

I have a moded cannon eos 500d,canon ef 75-300lens, star tracker, svbony cls and optolong lenhance filters. What should I buy or Invest to get better results?

Awesome... even I do not possess a Celestron Origin,.. there's learning to be picked up here !

Great demo Rich! I didn’t realize that Celestron didn’t provide the standard headers. Not optimal! Cheers! 👽 Doug

Thanks for this. I ran your new script on one of my Origin data sets, and it worked fine. I didn't change my Siril options at all, as I already had the default Bayer pattern set to BGGR, but with 'Get Bayer Pattern From Header' checked. Your script ran fine that way - just gave warnings there was no pattern in the header, and then used the default. A larger issue is that I have felt that I get better results with my Origin data by just stacking the lights and ignoring the calibration frames. And your script just confirmed that again. The script applies the calibration frames fine, and I had sometimes applied them manually myself previously. But when I applied them manually and in the one set I did so far with your script, I found that using the calibration frames just made the resulting image worse (in my judgement). It also takes a lot longer - your script took 25 minutes to process a fairly small data set (66 lights) on my PC; processing the same set without using the calibration frames took about 10 minutes. Certainly not an issue if the calibration improved the resulting image... but it seems to me that it doesn't do so. Is there perhaps something strange with the Origin calibration frames?

Good to see some Origin data! Sad about the FITS headers, I'm really disappointed that they don't even include the bayer pattern. Even my DSLR has that info (granted it's not in FITS format, it's still there). The origin aside, Great video and great job processing!

Too long Im waiting for great siril update, I started to learn pixinsight.

I process both Origin data and data from other scopes regularly. I leave the Siril default Bayer pattern at BGGR, but I leave the option to get Bayer data from the header checked. That works fine for both Origin data and data from my other scopes without any need to change anything in Siril - Siril takes the pattern from the header if it is there, but uses the set default pattern if there is no pattern in the header. Of course, you would need to change the default pattern if you had data with no pattern in the header that used a different pattern; but I haven't had to process any data with no pattern in the header other than that from the Origin.

🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thanks a million for the tutorial Rich, everything worked last night, my first time getting Siril up and running, stacked and processed two images, this morning however, tried two mosaics imaged last night, both seem to have stacked ok but I cant open the generated fit files in my home directory, I can see them but cant highlight them so open and stretch the file, using Siril 1.2.6 on 64 bit Windows...Charles Update, my error, I opened the Home option and not the correct Open, quick question regarding the Histogram Transformation, when stretching the image with the sliders, the adjustment is very coarse, is there any way of getting a finer adjustment, thanks again..Charles

New to Siril and found your videos because of a link in one of the extra scripts on the website. Been watching them over the last few days so I have an overview of what I can do within Siril (don't use PS I have Affinity and Marketable). With the Recombine at the end of the video. I assume one could just use the final versions of starless and the stars that you have already fully fixed and stretched elsewhere in your full process. Finding the whole thing fascinating and now just need some clear nights to get enough data to make this worthwhile. 🙂 Thanks very much.

Nebula looks gojo's eye😅

i wish i would have seen this video before i bought mine. I had problem some drilled hole in the dome lining up. the worst part never shipped the shutter tracks with dome. the dome is sitting on the osbervatory with a tarp over top of it

You have singlehandedly improved my processing tenfold. I've been following your videos and reprocessing old data, and the results have blown me away. Thanks so much for putting the time and effort into these videos!

Really helpful. Thanks.

I stack and process my Seestar S50 images in Siril, but also like to use GraXpert. GraXpert allows you to save files in many formats -- including stretched or unstretched. It even allows you to save images from specific processes like Denoised, or Background Extracted. But I don’t see an option to save an image that includes all the processing you do in GraXpert. I'm confused about the best workflow to incorporate GraXpert and get the correct image type back into Siril for further processing.

An issue I have when stacking is that the final stacked photo is way off center and not showing the jellyfish nebula. Is there any solution for that?

SVBONY says this filter is not intended for visual use, but it's actually a really good visual nebula filter, better than their own UHC honestly.

I took multiple shots at different exposure times when I shot the Orion Nebula. Can I just dump all of those light files and darks for each exposure into the same stack? Or do I need to create different images for each exposure time?

This is awesome! Thanks so much for this!

Great video! At 65 I was looking for a small alternative to my Orion 8" telescope for the winter months. My Seestar should be here in a week or so. Siril is downloaded along with the Seestar script. I do have one question. Can I save my final image twice? I'm thinking JPEG for email, texts or Facebook and Tiff to put into Gimp to mess around with a bit more.

Question, what about GraXpert, can the two individual processed fit files OIII and HaOIII be processed in GraXpert instead?

Thanks

I was stacking using scripts there, but it keeps failing saying it has run out of space (I am doing this on a 2tb external ssd that only has my lights, biases, darks and flats on it). Would doing it this way circumnavigate that issue? Thanks and great video!

You tried your best, but even though Siril is free it's above my pay grade. My Lights are in a folder called Lights. I get an "error on line 18 'cd' generic, execution failed" every time I try to run Siril. I'll just continue to stack in ASTAP even though it has fewer options. I really don't get any seratonin or dopamine out of this hobby, but with Siril, I get plenty of unwanted adrenaline.

Brilliant tutorial... learnt a lot about both Siril and PS. Thank You so much!

I will not but this dome. Thank you for the heads up.
