what a time to be alive. I imagine many people are salivating thinking of re-processing years of old data

[@DSOImager]

Yes! I have a long list of old data that is waiting to be reprocessed now, lol.

@@DSOImagersame!

[@ronlundgren4391]

God bless Russell! He brings us rookies all up to respectable for a couple hundred bucks.

[@DSOImager]

Seriously!

[@LogansAstro]

Excellent video and examples. This will definitely save my Redcat 51 from heading to the 'For Sale' pages.

[@DSOImager]

Yea, for sure. :)

Speaking of lower end gear, last year I shot the whole nebula season with a premium 152mm/900mm fl Achromat in 3nm narrowband, 294mm and cheap Svbony reducer. The proper reducer was back ordered by 4 months and by that time galaxy season rolled around and I decided to move to a 10 inch newt. Messing around with the new blur X everything looks amazing from the achromat. 6 inches of cheap? glass :P. I can share data from both scopes if you'd like any. Still recommending the 10in. Newt! Things a BEAST in light gathering and star HFR is routinely significantly tighter than the AT115EDT. Collimation still holding strong after four months of use. Mount/dismount after each session.. Nice vid!!

[@DSOImager]

Very interesting.. do you by chance have any RGB data from the Achromat? Would be interesting to see how bxt handles the color correction in that scenario. Good news on the collimation.. that's reassuring. Yea.. I'd be interested in taking a look at the data, drop me an email to google drive or something like that. CS!

[@IcemanAstro]

I have been sitting on the fence to get this, but now I feel like it will definitely benefit my images. Thanks James. I'll be sure to use your affiliate link

[@DSOImager]

Thanks Isaac! Its worth it.. especially with your full frame.

[@petesastrophotography]

Excellent overview James👍Wow, I was already a fan of BXT, but it looks like the new version has taken things to the next level. The correction on the Rokinon stars defies belief😲

[@DSOImager]

Yea.. it's pretty unbelievable. I was considering using my 533 with the Rokinon lens due to the bad stars. Might not be needed now :)

[@chuckmoney1688]

I used to use lightroom 3 to remove blur, very simple.

[@DSOImager]

lightroom is a very powerful tool, for sure.

[@mattestabrook]

Great video, James. Until this past spring I was shooting mainly with a Hyperstar rig, which resulted in some unusual star shapes. If its collimation was even slightly off (as is generally the case), BlurX v1 interpreted the resulting aberration as a double star and interpolated extra "companion" stars into my images. I've run some of my old Hyperstar data though BlurX v2, and it is much better! I'm very impressed. Between BlurX 2.0 and GraXpert's new AI (and PI integration), it's another great Christmas season for amateur astrophotographers. Clear skies!

[@DSOImager]

Nice! Good to hear that it's working with your hyperstar data now :)

[@mattestabrook]

But now I feel obliged to re-process it all! @@DSOImager 🤣

[@tostativerdk]

Very informative review, I think I will need to get Bxt now :)

[@DSOImager]

Thanks! Its worth it for sure. :)

[@elbass0]

I know what I'll be doing tomorrow

[@DSOImager]

Reprocessing old data? lol

[@actudoran]

you're a bad bad influence!!! now I'm hesitant in my purchase of the 3d printer I wanted ... 😂

[@DSOImager]

LOL! I know the feeling. Very nearly pulled the trigger on a 3d printer.. and ended up getting an AM3 instead :)

[@Ben_Stewart]

That 135mm Lens? Ah the 14. I sold that lens. The distortions just got to me.

[@DSOImager]

Yea.. they are pretty bad. I got the lens for milky way shots. I figured I would just have to crop significantly... BXT to the rescue! lol

[@drkumarharaprasadmisra5562]

I think no need of a field flattener now😊

[@DSOImager]

lol!
