how do you do that

#

by the way this one isnt better than the shadow right?

#

I feel like the shadow will get me more votes

#

I think this one in processing looks the best, however, the shadow will add likes I’m sure

flint siren
#

This one has nicer sharpness

#

Better SNR, i'd vote for this one personnaly

#

Just mask it

#

Photopea is the website Photoshop I think

GIMP can do it too.

@sharp ridge This is data from you from a few years ago (posted in the share data forum). If I stretch the wavelets I see the same artifacts. So I think either my wavelets algo is wrong. Or this is just how wavelets work sadly?

sharp ridge
#

Its probably your wavelets then

#

If I do other wavelet software there isnt an issue

#

Or even with decon in your app

# sharp ridge Or even with decon in your app

Yeah fair, I also see it with unsharp mask btw. Could you also please send me the data of the stack you tried where it turned grayscale and debayer artifacts? I think maybe one debayer path is wrong.

@flint siren after looking at the APOD for today, tom has mentioned trying Jupiters rings with the 24” before. Do you think he used the same methods as Uranus with like 0.3 second subs and all that? In inferred?

flint siren
#

I'm sure he tried with a CH4 filter with longer exposures than 1 sec.

#

I think it would be interesting to try using large EQ scope with a z band filter, using very long exposures.

# woven kite f/10 3.23

The rule is you want the F/ratio to be 6 times the pixel size. So 3.23 x 6 =19.38, so a 2x Barlow would be perfect for you. Or a 1.5 x and an ADC.

being able to do planetary processing in a browser is facinating

#

i got some sun earlier that im gonna try on there

brazen moth
#

I haven't tested with sun yet. I'm focussed on circular objects in a black surrounding so far.

#

if the sun fits completely in your field of view it might work

woven kite
#

got some sunspot clusters and half a sun

then I think every frame will be detected as: "the planet is touching the sides of the frame, skipping.."

#

do you prefer tiff or a video?

silent mesa
#

Am I out of collimation

olive saddle
#

depends how big your aperture is tbh, if you're using a small telescope then I'd say definitely not, but bigger and wider aperture, then maybe? Seeing conditions also matter heavily.

#

why does Jupiter always look green in everyone's unprocessed Jupiter images

olive saddle
#

8" is like a perfect mid size

#

it's neither large nor small

olive saddle
#

but how were the seeing conditions?

silent mesa
#

I think they were average

olive saddle
#

Ok, so I'd say you're probably good as far as collimation goes, but it never hurts to test collimation with a Cheshire eyepiece

Do you know why that ring can appear?

It’s not magic. B Martin uses it religiously it seems, but always too much.

Has he been around long? I feel he popped out of nowhere this year

Barely any of the features actually correspond to the simulation and the ones that do are most likely painted or put in there through other means.

I doubt it.

uff

quick cairn
#

I haven’t focused on imaging just the moons yet

winter moat
#

I want to do something like that too

#

But I need more aperture for that

quick cairn
#

Io hahah

#

My issue is imaging the moons without oversampling like crazy, they are just pixely

winter moat
#

Imo

quick cairn
#

Yeah

winter moat
#

So if I want to create more "resolution" I would use resampling

quick cairn
#

There are sorta rules in place for best sampling

My scope with my camera is F/20

I mean in post processing

At F/20 only Ganymede has decent spherical shape

Here is my process

#

At least Ganymede looks less artificial.

quick cairn

I knew you could sharpen the planet more but my derotation isn’t perfect so shadow starts having artifacts when I do, I was telling him about it so he offered to mask himself

If you struggle with derotation with WinJUPOS a lot and aligning the wireframe, I can recommend a processing software named LuckyStackWorker, created by a Dutch astrophotographer from a forum I'm active on. He implemented derotation functionality a little while ago, and you do not need to align a wireframe like in WinJUPOS. You just provide it your stacks and it will handle derotation, even with moons in transit in most cases. https://youtu.be/zOdWoH1eM54

In this video I will demonstrate the great new de-rotation feature that has been added in the latest release of LuckyStackWorker.
The new version of LSW can be downloaded from Github:

https://github.com/wkasteleijn/luckystackworker/releases/latest

In later videos I will also demonstrate the other new features, and for a detailed explanation a...

Watch the video to see how it learns and try it for yourself. I'm not a huge fan of its derotation functionality in general because I think the derotated stacks it creates aren't of as good quality as when derotated with WinJUPOS, but I'll appreciate it for the fact it's much easier than with WinJUPOS.

The reason my images are so bad is seeing tho

flint siren

Seeing is a huge factor but processing and how you image is also big

I’m sure you could do better if you go out often enough and try new strategies

Then 3.75

quick cairn
ruby compass
#

F5.91

quick cairn
#

Like what’s your scopes focal ratio all by itself no Barlow

#

Okay

#

And your pixel size is 3.75?

#

3.75 x 6 =22.5, so you should shoot for your scopes focal ratio with Barlows to be F/22.5 or slightly above, just as close to as possible

#

I would stay right under because you said your seeing is bad

#

That gives your imaging the best sampling for your equipment

#

I would also buy an ADC, they are like 40$

#

And help a lot

quick cairn

Which is a big jump in affordable technology

How high is Jupiter when you are shooting it

winter moat
#

I don't quite understand how this is done on the Telescope

quick cairn
#

Nothing is done on the telescope, inside is a hypersensitive and ultrafast liquid mirror

And it uses a very powerful laser

To adjust the shape of the mirror to counter the seeing conditions

@somber stratus ever do a Timelapse of the cloud belts moving on Jupiter? Not a rotation but the cloud belts moving while observing/imaging at the same spot spanning different days

I’m planning to do that but I haven’t done any normal imaging and second, Hawai’i weather is a pain

Don’t have access to it rn as on vacation away from PC

somber stratus
#

WinJupos as usual

quick cairn
#

I’m currently trying out this new software Duif suggested for derotating

sand umbra
#

Unless the king himself says, does derotating really help that much? I’ve never been into it and I’ve never seen tom using it. And when people do state that they did use derotation it often looks as if they had their video for more than 3 minutes which leads to cloud belt trailing

quick cairn
#

Yes.

quick cairn
#

you want to shoot for about 30 minutes of rotation

#

More than three minutes will lead to auto stacking errors, but not really there are some people that use seven minute videos that do very well

sand umbra
# quick cairn That’s not how derotation works

Well no I know how it does works but I’m just wondering if it really does help, I was just saying from my experience or from what I saw, derotation leads to an effect that may be similar to having a video sub more than three minutes

#

I have never heard of stacking errors for subs longer than 3 min so that’s new

#

The great thing about derotation is that trying it is free.

This is the magnification produced with both the Barlow and the ADC or just ADC?

Just ADC

Okay I need a debate ender @somber stratus sorry to bother you while you are on vacation. Besides for Venus nightshade and Uranus rings, is it worth using RAW16 over RAW8 at all for apertures smaller than 16 inches?

but tbf i dont think reducing has the same effect as imaging in different bits

flint siren
#

I have no idea tbh i'm too tired by i'm sure he did mess up somewhere

quick cairn
#

yep

flint siren
#

Thing is maybe he was recording with a low enough histogram, which thus was affected by the bit deepth reduction.

quick cairn
#

I see

flint siren
#

Whatever, i'm sure he messed up on something.

#

And i mean, he should've simply compared the stacks with just sharpening, not with more processing. This reduce the bias of comparing differently processed images.

@sharp ridge would you recommend purchasing an HO UL16?

#

It’s much cheaper than a 16” skywatcher and I can build an alt az platform pretty easily with the help of some club friends

Much cheaper than buying the GoTo version that’s 2000$ more

Definitely

#

Its well designed and built

Light, portable and with a good mirror

quick cairn

Yes

#

I wouldn't recommend it too much as it has its quirks

That’s what I’ve heard

If I were to use a Barlow to get 7x pixel size in excellent seeing would my ADC interfere with my magnification on the Barlow?

#

i found a heart shaped crater near tyco and since it doesnt have an official name, ill name it "heart of luna" hahaha

somber stratus
quick cairn
#

The F ratio can be switched with native focal length to get your active F/ratio

#

If your scope is F/5, that would be 5 x (Barlow let’s say) 3 x 1.2 = 18 so that’s F/18. For 2.9 micron pixels that’s just under perfect sampling for good seeing conditions.

#

If your scope is 1200mm native then your effective focal length in this case would be 4320mm

I'm noticing a lot of ghosting panels through my images because umm the seeing wasn't that great and yet I try to push it using 2x Barlow

low oar
#

alirght

  1. its best not to loose your detail in sharpening, so i would apply a lot more noise reduction or shapren a lot less
  2. do your best do blend each pannel so it matches the one next to it to overall you have a nice blend
  3. when adding a earthshine make sure to darken the craters on the lit part or mask all the way down to the craters so you dont have the chunks leaking into the earth shine
  4. when adding glow make sure you feather the edge of the moon do make it blend seemlessly from moon to glow
#

ill give you an example of one of my better ones

#

also make sure when your shooting to properly expose the dark areas near the terminator, idk if this was the case but it looks to me that it was really dark and you tried to manually expose it to match the overall look which ended up actually just bringing out a lot of noice and artifacts near the terminator

i mean its a really good image and you got your principles right just need to exicute thats all

any feedback you want to give also?

i mean i think thats all haha

#

ive been mosaicing full moons more as of recent but this year i plan to do a lot more with the terminator, full moons are easier to image anyway lol

rain mauve
#

oh yeah 1 more, when capturing i need to change the settings also? like when its first quarter phase the bright side definetly bright so i need to tune down the exposure? and the near terminator i need to bring up the exposure/gain? is that how it works?

#

i did like 1 settings for every area

#

dont care if its dark or bright

#

lol

low oar
#

yea just balance it to where you get even data

#

i usually make it where i dont blow out the bright details

#

cuz you cant get those back lol

#

because when you want to make them bright, then you still have them

rain mauve
#

ahhhh i see now...

low oar
#

see its bright but still detail

#

im doing this untracked so its a little bit difficult for me xD

low oar
#

naw i get it

#

i had to do untracked for a long time too

#

its how i started

rain mauve
#

its kind of annoying when you think you had your video/ser files completed and when you want to stitch them theres a hole in the middle

low oar
#

yea

#

just gotta double check

i tried my best to capture it in a way that is identical to what your eye sees on a full mooon night

that was the corn moon of 2025

i found doing mosaic full moon its a bit hard, idk i think when i nail the focus, its just look unfocused to me xD

#

compared to the other moon phases from waxing/wanning crescent to the first/last quarter

#

make sure your collimated

#

full moons can often look washed out

gotta be pricice focu cuz theres no shadows

sorry i was replying to the glow part of the moon image

this part

#

it looks so dark in my base image

low oar
#

oh

#

thats not the base image

winter moat
rain mauve
#

i have to do a little bit masking on the edges on the moon

#

so it would looks brighter but imo its not that really good...

#

i mean like this part

#

it has like smooth gradient between the over exposure one into the center

low oar
#

Yea you just gotta add that

rain mauve
#

i see..

#

alright

#

thank you ken for giving me tips! i appriciated it alot

i will do it next time

i just checked and the inside is pretty reflective

might be barlow quality too

dark cargo
# woven kite might be barlow quality too

Probably, I had a cheap svbony barlow which I flocked and it did seem to help a lot.

On the countarary my celestron xcel 3x is much worse at reflections than that one.... Might be due to degraded coatings or something.

Was this wobble because of bad seeing or were you dancing next to the mount?

Gotcha

#

@low oar new mosaic ! captured an hour ago

low oar
#

So when your adjusting your exposure before you capture anything

#

You need to be able to see details on those craters

#

Then your good

#

Cuz right now there’s no getting that detail back it’s just white

#

But good image 👍

winter moat
#

Thanks

#

I thought it didn't look so bad when areas were overexposed

#

I think it looks more natural

Like it's not perfect

My point is his scope is bigger than the rest of us there for he has the most experience with the best data. But this conversation was a while ago lol

What should my gain and exposure be for a given night

47 panels untracked

Do you know which settings you use frequently?

first one just look unsharpened enough yet xD

Can you show how only Registax has sharpened it?

rain mauve
#

this is with registax only

winter moat
#

This looks a lot more natural imo

#

It looks almost finished

#

imo oc

rain mauve
#

Oh yeahhh I see the difference

#

I like the right more

winter moat
#

You did a good job with Registax

rain mauve
#

After I blend it in ICE, I did some sharpening again at astrosurface, maybe it's full disc, so some part did not sharpened well, and turns into oversharpened over there

rain mauve
winter moat
#

Here is a difference

#

This is your Registax only picture

#

Hmmm

rain mauve
#

I didn't sharpen that really well

#

And cause it to be uneven

winter moat
#

Yee

#

When i do mosaics you can see differences if the seeing is different between the panels

#

That's a bit annoying

rain mauve
#

I use the same wavelet settings for every panel

winter moat
#

Yee me too

#

It's not much but still

rain mauve
#

Upper one looks a bit mushy..., but that's not really noticeable IMO

#

Still looks good!

what scope do you use again ?

what type ?

a cct ?

ah

yeahh

winter moat
#

do you only do solar system photography with it ?

#

ore do you do dso too

rain mauve
#

with this telescope

#

for now i only do solar system photography with it

winter moat
#

ahh

rain mauve
#

i have other device like dslr and with popular samyang 135mm f2 with it

#

but yeah im living in b9, and clouds keep rolling after i did solar photography, so i cannot shoot dso for now xD

winter moat
#

but the f2 can help alot

#

a mono cam on that samyang would do not that bad in b9

rain mauve
#

im planning to attatch like dual band filter for it

winter moat
rain mauve
#

to cut off the light pollution so my f2 isnt that really wasted

rain mauve
winter moat
#

wish you much fun with it :D

rain mauve
#

you do dso also?

winter moat
#

i started with my sony a6700 and the 70-350 telezoom from sony

#

the i bought the cct

#

and then later the askar sqa55

#

my first astro cam was the neptun-c from p1

#

i use this cam to this day for dso and planeteray

#

but i need to get a colled mono cam

#

oh and my first mount was the gti

im planning to buy the astro cam from p1. but the i reconsider it since the taxes is quite expenesive

#

Open it in the browser

#

oh naa wait

#

hmm strange the backround is still clipped

#

i think its becouse of the color profile in gimp

rain mauve
#

ahhh i see

winter moat
#

but the amp glove is hard to work with

#

If you don't get good calibration frames then it gets annoying

#

this is a master dark

rain mauve
winter moat
#

i think

rain mauve
#

ohhh thats why you need cooled mono

#

so it doesnt create any amp glow?

winter moat
#

not necessarily

#

Modern sensors like the 585 533 or 571 do not have AMP Glove

#

You could also use them uncooled

#

The IMX 178 sensor is much older and has these quirks

#

and mono or color makes no difference when it comes to amp glove

#

But of course it's best if you use at least a cooled camera
