@@AdamBlock There is definitely structure in the first couple of subs. We have an old-school KAF8300. But I am being radical tonight and taking subs that are "only" 10 minutes long lol. I'm hoping that dithering loads of subs will work well with Bx. I'll post on your forum later. Clear skies!

Hi Adam - Wonderful video as always. Curious about the scopes used - is the widefield one using your Tak epsilon 180? And what did you use to acquire the close up?
@AdamBlock
@AdamBlock 6 күн бұрын
I probably should have put that in the description. astrob.in/g4pn5h/C/ Yes to the Tak. The other two telescopes were a 24-inch and 32-inch .

Saw your image on AB just a few minutes ago and then this popped up in my YT feed. When you show the H-alpha data at 6:15, my first thought was, "wow, that looks like a scorpion!" By the way, what did you mean by "your flat light source wasn't aligned with your scope"? Even better question, "what application of gradient correction tools did you use to fix that mess?" Asking for a friend, I swear :D

Do you have any tutorials covering subpar data? I can't get past the 3rd step because I have horrible background gradient from light pollution and moon. All the tutorials I see are working with nearly flawless data in comparison to me so its very difficult to follow.

Yes. Many of my examples come directly from members. But guess what... when I use crappy data people don't like to watch because they do not have the exact same problem. You want to watch someone solve *your* problem... but are you willing to watch videos that show how to solve *other people's problems*??

@@AdamBlock Absolutely, every single video I watch is fixing issues I don't have. I still watch the video to learn. I find the videos with more cleanup involved to be more interesting myself, not sure why others don't. When you've got incredible data to work with in the first place your just polishing a piece of art. I'd rather watch people turn trash into art. Bought the first course from you because I haven't used PI since 1.4 and everything is foreign to me again here 6 years later. Will do Horizons after I get thru this and hopefully come across more "less then perfect" workflow examples.

Thanks for the entire series Adam.. most helpful. I've recently managed to get data from 3 nights on NGC6974, and my question relates to the impact of the "quality" of each night's data. e.g. night 1 was good seeing, nights 2 & 3 were both excellent seeing. In your experience, is it better to simply let WBPP do it's thing and stack them all together despite this "known" quality disparity, or would it be better to simply cull the "good" seeing data and run with the "excellent" instead? I guess a simpler way to say it is - will the "good" bring down the overall result, compared to only processing the "excellent" ?
@AdamBlock
@AdamBlock 18 күн бұрын
Yes...combine everything. The weighting (PSF Signal Weight and others) will only let the poorer subs add it for what they are worth. Members of my instructional content learn about this in detail and how it works.

KZbinrs are just now catching up to the information I told you about six months ago. The Event Horizon data and their teams interpretation. Adam, if you have sufficient space to download the EHT data set, I'd love to see how your interpretation might look, or if you agree with the Japanese team in that the interpretation might be wrong. I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject and I'm pretty sure the data set is available to the public.

Not so much. Usually separating the channels and aligning them is the trick there since distortion a term of registration which may minimize the aberration. Of course...the easiest solution is to use BlurXTerminator which corrects for chromatic aberration.

@AdamBlock
@AdamBlock Ай бұрын
Become a member of my site..and learn all about this stuff. Loading OSC images as grayscale is the correct way to proceed. A raw image needs to be debayered properly. .If you force the software to open images and debayer by default- you will not be able to calibrate the data correctly (and confuse yourself).
