Rho Ophiuchi With A Nifty Fifty Processing

[@johncallery814]

This is excellent. Finally someone that shows you ALL the steps vs I would do this and I would do that, but for times sake lets skip ahead. Thanks

[@harshwardhanpathak50]

Awesome 😎

[@kobiorama]

thank again for the video. I finally had time to go and shoot the constallation, in a rather dark place. Got 3.5 hours with an 85mm at F2, and here is where the weird things start. Image has TONS of detail, and is bright out of the box. It's not dark like the output you get from DSS Its B&W :( I have no idea where the color is done, even after the siril streching. I bet I doing something stupid, but if you know that that stupid thing is, I'd appreciate any tip!

[@alishaandersondesign6453]

Thanks!

[@deltaastrophotography]

Thank YOU! This really means a lot and helps me grow the channel!

As I said, more than one comment. As I posted in your capture video, I'll be trying a capture in northern Wisconsin in late June. You inspired me to try a 2 lens/camera capture. I have the Rokinon 135 paired with my Canon 5D MK IV (unmoded). I'm building a plate to mount this next to my astro moded Rebel T7i, paired with a Sigma 50mm art lens (equivalent 80mm). I think I'm within the weight restrictions of my SW SA GTI. So wish me luck. I hate Adobe's subscription thing. Thus posting my other comment about stretching in Siril only. But probably can't get the results you did w/o PS? Thanks more than words for this!

Photoshop's masking features are crucial to some edits. You could get away with using GIMP, but I stick to Photoshop because of the massive amount of plugins and online tutorials that are out there for it. The $10 a month plan doesn't bother me to much. Hell most of my friends spend more than that a day on overpriced coffee! 🤣

[@pattimaclaughlin8059]

Walt, you are such a great teacher! You take the time to explain everything. Ever step! Even for Mac’s too!

[@akkarparkiamopas3401]

could I use sequator for stacking?

[@olafsastro]

Hi Walt! Which ISO did you use? And how much was the exposure time?

[@deltaastrophotography]

180s x 60 @ ISO 800. You can see my setup and camera settings in this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKano4d8nM6rnJY

[@olafsastro]

@@deltaastrophotography Thank you so much!!

[@BurgerOosthuizen]

Good morning, best video for masking I have seen, thanks😊

[@DLMVegas]

What version of SIRIL are you using?

[@dustyhammer7569]

Something about using photoshop is akin to stuffing a bra. Might try it out

[@superearth5256]

Please can you make video on barn door tracker and testing it?

Thanks for your amazing content.

Again: Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!!

[@mikehardy8247]

So the nebula is mainly to the left, and above Anteris? I want to know how to frame it with the asiair, since Rho isn't in it's catalog. Do you know What it's Designation might be?

[@deltaastrophotography]

If you are using the ASIAIR, center Antares, take a test shot and then plate solve it. Then go to the planetarium feature in the ASIAIR app, and it should show your framing. Rotate your camera to your desired framing, take another test shot, plate solve, ect. Just keep repeating that process until you have the framing you want.

[@etch883]

Thanks for the tutorial ! 🙏

[@pann52]

Can the Canon 1100d camera be used for astrophotography only with a kit lens?

[@deltaastrophotography]

It can but the live view screen won't be very helpful compared to a newer camera.

[@Astropostie]

Picking up loads of tips! I like the subtlety of processing you bring 👏

[@bulentcoban1042]

I am writing this message to you from Turkey. I have learned so much from the programs you have done that you have been a great motivation for me towards astrophotography.

[@deltaastrophotography]

I'm so glad I can help!

[@mikehardy8247]

I will have more, comments/questions as I follow this. Anyway, if I just want to use Siril, at the point before you create the TIF for PS, how do I continue to stretch in Siril?

[@deltaastrophotography]

Go to Image Processing at the top and choose Histogram Transformation. Click the button on the far right that looks like a gear with a wavy line through it. That should apply your auto stretch. Or you could turn the auto stretch off, open Histogram Transformation and manually stretch. All up to you!

[@KarlKyhl]

I don't know if this is allowed , or kosher. I enjoyed this video very much. So, not to take views away from @DeltaAstrophotography, but @NebulaPhotos has done a lot of soup-to-nuts tutorials on Siril. Informative on their own, not as much humor as with @DeltaAstrophotography. That being said, Siril has updated recently and includes some significant updates for stretching and StarNet++ integration. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHenqHqkityCnpqdl If you are MacOS user, he includes the whole process using Mac.. Thank you for the video!

Thanks!

Have learned a lot from your workflows. Trying to get mine to under an hour. I’m at about 3-4hrs right now.

[@mmeme123254]

Thank you very much sir, I just used your technique with my milky way core and I was blown away with the result!!!! Cant thank you enough!

[@willriker72301]

Thanks so much for sharing this workplan. I downloaded the tif to see where my regular workplan could be optimized. The new tips you gave could only make my final result better. Keep up making video's, you're amazing!

[@stewsmith9236]

Excellent edit. I love the way you present. So easy to follow along. I'm hoping to photograph the same target next week with a Canon 100mm 2.8L. This video will come in very handy

[@peterturner1919]

Having real trouble doing decent globular cluster shot, would you mind?

[@deltaastrophotography]

I would love to if I ever get some clear skies again! 😂😭

[@peterturner1919]

Oh no you as well. Seems we're all blighted with bad weather, I virtually missed galaxy season.

[@kevinashley478]

@@peterturner1919 I have come to the conclusion that the entire population of the planet must have gone and bought a telescope. This weather is absolutely ridiculous. I am 46 and I can't remember a spring/summer that has been this cloudy.

[@withintheviewfinder5994]

Thanks a lot for sharing your workflow and processing techniques. I will go back and rewatch this video, while following along. I have no doubts that this will improve my Photoshop skills. Thank you so much!

Leaving the tiff for us to play with and learn is extremely good of you ty

[@angelriper20]

Thanks for this great processing video,it helped a lot

[@ianmacdonald2307]

Brilliant and super easy to use as usual. I have started to use Siril for some early stages after DSS has stacked my light and calibration frames, but I still prefer PS for the later stages of processing. I love your use of ‘colour range’ which I use a lot 👍

[@therealremo]

Beautiful! Thanks again!

[@gerassimos3229]

Great work and wonderful final image!! When I use StarXterminator I notice that the background of the starless image has a slight checkered or grid-like pattern. It's also minimally visible in your starless image around 14:00. Do you know what causes this? I've searched forums etc and haven't found anything on it. I find that the more an image is stretched the more it stands out. It's quite easy to get rid of during post processing but I was wondering if you had any ideas.

[@DantinDouglas]

this may caused by 2 reasons:1. when you do stacking, you enabled len correctiom, 2. your image was too under exposed.

[@indysbike3014]

Do a photometric color calibration so you don’t need to draw a box. Also next to the autostretch button you can unlink the channels so the green cast goes away and now you can see the nebula.

[@harshwardhanpathak50]

Bro PCC not always get the plate solution, that's why i think he didnt this
