Whoot whoot

Great video. I have a Z61-2 also. Almost sold it but I didn’t and will keep it for wide field

woot woot

great stuff! Many thanks! Theres a trick you can do with process batch and ImageContainer to starx multple images. sorry I broke my arm and cant look up details right now. hope this helps.

HULK SMASH!! Hulk Like Video!!

Good video! I finally got my curve to .99 and set the R^2 to .95 and to do 3 attempts. I set focus with a mask before a session and since I stopped getting half my session out of focus.When the temperatures drop drastically between 3 and 6 AM, having it do the 2 extra attemp5s usually clears the focus difference.

I just got an L quad and an L eXtreme. Love them both and they do their jobs well. I'm in a bortle 7

First video I've seen starting with the focused ring. Makes sense.

Very cool. Very simple. Very duh question… the collimating ring stays in place now yes? Ok off to spend more money

Copied from Adam Block video. Better to watch original.

Great vid. Ive done a star test on my 8" carbonstar RC but never adjusted the primary or focuser. The cheshire tool I have seems a pain. May have to get a laser. I do not see a collimation ring available for my scope, but I do have a tilt adaotor on my cam, does that count?? I see no way to use tilt adaptor with laser tho.

Couldn't you adjust the travel distance very small on the eaf to get focus?

Was this done with a monochrome camera or was it OSC? and if OSC what filters did you use? I have an askari c2, and I wasn't getting ay data with that filter at all on this target...I don't get why. But i picked up a ton using the svbony 220v (HaO3)

Fantastic video, I’m a believer! I believe this was your 100th video! Congratulations! You taught me so much in this hobby!

Awesome processing. I wish I could get my hands on some dragon data since I can’t image it from my location.

Be careful with all those lasers. It’s actually irresponsible to look at even the reflection of s laser. You are damaging the light sensors in your eyes.

Hey great video and thanks for making it. I only have 4 rings in the primary mirror step not 5 like you have. They are evenly spaced/illuminated so not sure if that is ok or not?

Great video as usual! Thumbs up for RC's. Their collimation isn't that difficult and doesn't deserve the drama people make it out to be!

thankyou very much i love your work!

Hello, I am interested in the tent as a stray light protection for astrophotography! Did you build the tent yourself?

Thanks for this review Steve. Can I ask what sort of light pollution was there at the location where the test was done. Is there a significant component of LED pollution, since some astrophotographers are telling me that these Broadband filters (like the L-enhance Quad) are next to useless for significant LED pollution and Broadband targets.

I really like this method, but I had a hard time colonizing until I realized the curves for "b" and "R" could easily give the desired Sii and Ha colors. No messing with "G" and "B" is needed.

What other equipment did you use beaides the quattro and ZWO?

How could you merge the different channels in photoshop?

Always great to watch your tutorial. I learned a lot and edited my version of wizard nebula by following along.

I finally got the collimation ring from Agena Astro after waiting more than a year for them to get in stock! I can’t wait for clear skies to test it out!

As usual entertaining and comprehensive video. Always a joy to learn new techniques 👍😎

awesome Steve, again newness for batch processing ...works for me bud. Missed you for the last couple of months, thanks for the tutorial 👍

I'm going to have to try this. Thanks

Woot woot it is 🎉

Love this channel, never really commented. My only suggestion would be set up a pc rig that can record 4k, cause if anything deserves to be seen in UHD it's stuff like this!

Great Steven, greetings from south of Spain THX

Great video! Funny you mention having a stars only option on my Foraxx script. When I made it I never even thought about how good the stars look out of the script, so I made the option for creating just a starless image so users could independently stretch their own stars. Turns out lots of people (myself included now), love the stars and would happily just use the script for stars. I will definitely look at adding the functionality in soon. The good news is that Seti Astro created NBtoRGBStars which creates Foraxx stars for you. Also I have a working alpha version script for adding stars following your procedure. I just need to fine tune it a bit, mostly because Range Selection doesn't allow you to rename masks so keeping track of its masks is fool proof yet. On my test system here its called Steve Miller Stars script, I may or may not change that before release haha.

Excellent as always! So happy to see a new video. Thank you!

Fantastic, nice processing tutorial, I will have to borrow some of this!!

Hi ! Great video ! Is it possible to have for every layers the pourcentage of RGB to reproduice your beautifull palette ?

Thank u Steve! I am confused about the reason why I get a green Hulk smash image 9:26 after rgbcombination. What should I do to get a right color image like yours 🥺🥺

As always - a fun and informative tutorial. Please don’t disappear again 🫥 😅

HI i followed you video and ended up range selection mask is incompatible message?

what if the secondary doesn't move in the direction you need it to move no matter how many times you try different combination of the three screws?

and if you dont have a center dot on the secondary?

Hell Yeah!!!!!!!

una chulada de videos, muchas feliciades ¡¡ saludos desde mexico veracruz

Im so excited to try this method , from what camera and filter combination does this data come from ? I use a ASI071MCPRO with the l extreme filter , so it’s not a real sho image later. But does that work with my data as well ? CS Dennis

Hey Steve, are you still up for some difficult data? I have some SHO masters of the Fighting Dragons Of Ara that I have tried to process quite a few times without reaching a result I'm happy with. Love someone of your skill level to take a look. Thanks.

Everything in the world is good again when Stevie is making product videos! Great video. Who does your music, if you dont mind me asking.. A great many of us Astro people are also Guitar players. Just wondering.. Nice see you again Steve. Joe D

8:03 ....you're never going to stop spending money"...... he says.....yeah....that's spot-on alright

No way!! 😂 Awesome Steve!

I have had the L Quad now for a few months and lovin' it. I have been using it with my EdgeHD8, 0.7 reducer, ASI294MC Pro on a CGX. It has really made a huge difference. Should I mention my backyard is Bortle 4. Don't hate me.🙂

Thanks for doing these videos, you probably can’t know how much you help people, and the presentation style is just ….😂😂
