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
GIMP can do it too.
^
plus Affinity i think
Basically any image manipulation software out there.
lol

Nice!
Thanks!

@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?
Its probably your wavelets then
If I do other wavelet software there isnt an issue
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.
Wow what an amazing and feature full tool this is! Does it have sharpening of jupiter stacks? Cannot find it yet.
Im not sure if I understand which stack
Like the jupiter one?
Like the SER of this
This one, but this is a different Ken I see now :-D. #1019937457095065731 message
@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?
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.
What’s a z band?
(Google is your friend too)
Like a C14?
Or bigger
Bigger preferably
Do you think he stacked the stacks? Ignoring the surface just for the angle the rings should be?
I have no idea
is my file type the problem? (4k .mp4) looks like this with both 3x and 5x barlow. sct was left outside 3 hours for cooldown and collimated with 3x barlow
jupiter on a 114 newt with the same camera (90d) i dont know what im doing wronghttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1019937457095065731/1447102770971934852/126jupitar.png?ex=696e6eba&is=696d1d3a&hm=96207bdc47bcf22395d52e2c62d2fefa229a0df48be67bd2c66cf17cbfc07d7c&
You are doing well
definitely had higher expectations with an 8' though
could be seeing
i keep doxxing my name
tried another program for sharpening
hrrmm
this is my old scope
this is the same sensor recorded on a 600mm focal length lens, my single shots look clearer than this
Reprocessing of data from the 28th.
doing some trial and error (in order: native 2000mm 4k crop, 3x barlow regular 4k, 3x barlow 4k crop)
I’ll tell you now. Trial and error is always good but there are general rules to follow for sampling. Tell me your F/ratio without a Barlow and your cameras pixel size
Process of some old eclipse data
rainbow
f/10 3.23
The second image looks best to me, most detail of the three
i feel like the sweet spot would be a 2x barlow
How do I tell If I have poor collimation or bad focus
poor collimation causes everything to have a "tail" of sorts
bad focus / seeing will have a more even blur
(blurry in a lump, usually a small unblury side)
Ok
pretty happy i found the right settings before a week of clouds
My 210mm is fairly small but I’m wondering what should I do for the upcoming lunar eclipse
Should I get the skywatcher star adventure or get a better lens?
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.
What size scope?
good to know.
ill eventually upgrade to a planetary cam but for now im gonna stick with the dslr for a bit
wat theee haaaeeeel
i plan on 3d printing a cat cooler that works like the lymax one (130 dollars less)
you gunna cool it with a cat????
yaaarp
Collimating!
Remember these weird moiré artifacts in Eise? Well, it's because 16bit stacking is BETTER!
Looks better
Good job dude
16 bit lowk hawt
Very hawt
being able to do planetary processing in a browser is facinating
i got some sun earlier that im gonna try on there
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
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.."
Here redited animation
Could you share your sun data? Would love to give it a go :-). Maybe you have without clouds form another day? 😄
this is the first time i imaged the sun with a scope thats not a seestar. ill share with you when i get new data
do you prefer tiff or a video?
Am I out of collimation
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
Is 8 inch considered small
Assuming the seeing conditions were perfect, this looks like pretty good collimation for an 8" Newtonian or SCT
but how were the seeing conditions?
I think they were average
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
Idk tbh, I have no experience with actual dedicated editing software
Pretty sure it’s because the bayer pattern on the camera is RGGB, making it collect twice as much green data as compared to the other colors
Nicereeeeee33

What are we looking at?
That huge ring on the left side of Jupiter
never seen this much detail in a sun image before
Could you share this data? I think it should be possible to get rid of that slight vague blur on the upper side.
me on the other hand using a phone and a 6 inch newt when jupiter was really low on the horizon and the air quality was Shit asf
im pretty sure its heat rising from the tube. i thought it was gonna be cloudy so i didnt plan in ahead of time to acclimate. started recording in 10 minutes lol. gimmie one sec
i dont have a drive set up where i can share the video
Yeah most likely
Since i always ignore the put your scope outside for a hour or more rule
And i can even feel the heat rising up
That looks like a derotation artefact. Is it derotated?
this would be soooo nice if it were in focus💔
try insulation
Yeah
It's a derotation artefact then. Can't tell collimation from this picture.
Thought this wad Venus until i saw the Samsung 😭
its venus wdym xD
derotated jupiter with my 4,3" CCT
Really good
thx btw what telescope do you use ?
250p skywatcher
Here
Ahh noice
turn hacks off and deal with the atmosphere like a real planetary observer
Haha tell Tom first
No forget that, tell Backdoor Astronomy aka Brian Martin
He uses smart sharpen on photoshop
We have the same scope or diameter at least I just need the seeing
Imaging strategies and processing matter just as much
Before I took a break 2 years ago I did pretty good, similar to what you have right now
Now when I got back, of course the weather started being a pain
Ohhhhhhh that makes sense
I’m gonna test that today
I didn’t know that was a option 😭
You mean BackdoorAstronomy?
The guy who takes “naked pictures” of the planets?
Smart sharpen can be used on data if you do it correctly but Brian Martin’s processing style is not one you should copy.
No I know I’m not a fan of it either I just didn’t know that’s how he went about it and I want to try haha
How does that describe them perfectly 😭
I mean @quick cairn where was it even confirmed that Brian Martin uses smart sharpen?
Tbh I’m not even sure what it’s supposed to mean.
I guess it's a term for unblured planets, like without the effects of atmosphere.
Right but it’s a weird thing to say, no?
It's dumb, but it's also B Martin
My bad yes
Thanks for the correction, Duif
Yes he was intelligent enough to process my data and tell me step by step how he did it
He told me directly
Lol
I like the original more tbh. New one has too much sharpening now. Especially the edges are too hard.
I’ve never even heard of photoshop smart sharpen until then, but I don’t use photoshop either
It’s not magic. B Martin uses it religiously it seems, but always too much.
It seems
Has he been around long? I feel he popped out of nowhere this year
(2025)
He’s been around and using suspicious processing techniques for a while.
It looks topaz’d to me
That's because it is.
Looks interesting but I think that's too crazy too
This is Io with my scope
It's not even round
If it isn’t clear his “Ganymede” is basically completely fabricated.
Yea
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.
Does he also have a more natural version of a moon?
I doubt it.
uff
I haven’t focused on imaging just the moons yet
Io hahah
My issue is imaging the moons without oversampling like crazy, they are just pixely
Yeah
So if I want to create more "resolution" I would use resampling
I mean in post processing
At F/20 only Ganymede has decent spherical shape
What do you mean? Once the data is there you can’t just make the pixels smaller
That’s pretty good
crazy excellent seeing when i captured it
thanks!
I mean with Cubic Resampling in Siril and Gimp
I don't necessarily want to show more details somehow, but to make something more out of very few pixels
In the screenshots example, I overdid it a lot
This yours?
Yes
Ganymede looks way too round and smooth.
I see
My friend reprocessed for me, he masked
Did you selectively nuke the denoise?
And denoised ganymede
Ah so yes.
At least Ganymede looks less artificial.
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
This is true
If we did it again would you say Denoise Ganymede a little less?
Even when you derotate perfectly shadows will have artefacts, it's a thing that happens because of the way WinJUPOS handles derotation. You will always have to mask that in-post. But that is very easy with a single stack.
Yeah way less. Looks very off in your friend's process.
Good to know.
Thanks
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...
That is very helpful, I would take a shot with it
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.
Awesome
Not bad at all
Ganymede looks different for me with the void of space behind it vs Jupiter
uff my seeing is very bad
Wow.
ru u sure thats jup and not betleguse?
Nearly as good as my best results with my 8"😭
what setup do you have ? Like Camera Barlow etc
Zwo asi 224mc as the camera. Skywatcher classic 200p dob as the scope. Made my own eq plattform for tracking. And I use a celestron 3x lx barlow.
The reason my images are so bad is seeing tho

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
Yeah ofc
What’s your pixel size?
And focal ratio?
My best jupiter rn
Hm. I dont really know with the barlow. Its 0.64 without. So prob .22 or smt with?
F17
Yee I had excellent seeing that night
and it was -16C degrees
Wow nice
Yeah
Yes this was when jupiter was at 53°
With ir
😭
Yeah😭
Oh my gosh
You dont want to know whar mars looked like😭💔
"The sky is the limit" ;)
Unless u have AO 😉
This is my dream 🙏
Fr
AO would be so cool
Yea
Pixel size is not affected by Barlow.
Native local ratio
F5.91
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
I hear they are coming out with some lower end adaptive optics for under 6 figures
Which is a big jump in affordable technology
Huhhh pixel size what??
who is they ?
A French company
oh interesting
I don't quite understand how this is done on the Telescope
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
ok
Atleast that’s my understanding
Sooo Like a prism ?
It’s a liquid mirror
Yee
I would like to see a little more of the interior
But I still have to be patient
But thanks
Google is your friend
wow that moon almost looks like a mouse cursor, space is so amazing
Hehe
Here live Stack Jupiter with my setup and my Barlow
i think u have atmospheric turbulemce btw
Prob
I was gonna make that joke
@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
I’ve captured it over the span of hours in the same rotation via mapping. It’s slight but there.
Don’t have access to it rn as on vacation away from PC
What software do you use for mapping?
WinJupos as usual
I’m currently trying out this new software Duif suggested for derotating
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
Yes.
That’s not how derotation works
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
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.
Only thing is, it’s windows biased and unfortunately I’m a Mac user 
Wine (does it work on Apple Silicon?) or VM.
WIndows won't let you theme without a license. That's about it for limitations.
I did try wine but I’m not sure how it went since it was 2 years ago I forgot
I’m picking the hobby up again it’s just the weather I’m waiting on
Wine 11 runs WinJUPOS well for me on Fedora Linux.
I’ll try it, thanks
Hi there, I want to work on Moon stacking with Eise today. Does someone perhaps have a moon video available? If it's just 100 frames also fine.
The data in #1021002743080558642 is all dead links
It’s pretty frustrating at first so make sure to be patient
Nice bro
Thanks!
Im on a trip unfortunately so I cant access em 
I would probably have deleted them tho they use a lotta storage
Still not there , but getting there. In this case I had the gain way to low during capturing
Nice
Awesome work
Looks like it needs to be RGB aligned too
Or ADC
If I put a 2x Barlow lens into a ZWO ADC will the magnification increase because of the ADC and if it does what will the resulting magnification be
1.1-1.3x
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?
No. Aperture doesn't affect this.
They just like to bother Tom for no reason at this point.
Bro just wanted to ping him
I'm sure that at least Tom, Ethan and i have answered this in the past more than once. To end your "debate", 16 Bits is only useful (in lucky imaging) if you are imaging something faint. For traditionnal imaging, 8 Bits is more than enough.
And aperture is irrelevant here. (??)
im sorry but there is no way that's thru a 4.3 inch telescope
and also plz use dot for decimal for god's sake
I had very good seeing, if not the best
but still there is a thing called diffraction limit😭🙏
I searched key words in chat multiple times to no prevail, before asking. and god bless a guy has access to one of the best astrophotographers in the world…
Gotcha. Thanks.
The very valid reason was that my entire local astronomy club was debating this.
That’s Ken
...
I was asking Tom
We're all gonna give you the same answer. And it's not like it's a crazy difficult question that only Tom could answer...
I know a lot of people here have great experience, I just really value Tom’s input specifically since he’s working at such a high level.
Glazing and glazing again
Maybe because he deserves it?
Does aperture not matter in this case because the difference in 16 million different colors and 64 million different colors is irelevant?
Surprising that your entire club had a debate since it's not that difficult of a subject.
I’m glad it’s easy for you.
Aperture is completely irrelevant because more bit deepth is only useful if what you're targeting is dim enough to be ~compressed by your current bit depth. This can be the case with any aperture.
Sorry if my explanations are lousy i'm dead tired.
They are valued
What i meant for the glazing part is that Tom is very good technically, no doubt of that. But y'all (in this server) forget too much that he's working with a 24" and excellent seeing.
Y'all tend to forget the importance of aperture and seeing in planetary.
Here It's not the same night, but you can take a look at it
I don’t forget it, but regardless of the equipment, he has access to. He still gets to experience how the data works. I think I value Ethan’s opinion just as much because he’s been doing it for a very long time.
And I don’t think he sits there and gets things perfect first try he commits his time and energy into the hobby
That's not what i said.
I know
But just ask the question without ping next time.
Alright
its within the limit.
I’ll get it a go
Give
pixel size?
Decent data but I think you are either slightly out of focus or colimation
What pixel size and what focal ratio in your scope without barlows, sampling seems way off
yeah i lowkey tried
i never really use a barlow
what did you use for editing ?
astrosurface its really bad im not amazing at processing
where u get this?
first ever useful rc astro tool!
fuzzi lil guy
sooo ig the cam i want will be okay even with bad seeing
3552 ? what sensor is that ?
imx676mm
Noice
Well he’s open to questions I guess, I’m sure he expects them being one of the top planetary imagers
Seeing difference.
he said its the same data
Oh did not see that i'm dumb
Your good
but tbf i dont think reducing has the same effect as imaging in different bits
I have no idea tbh i'm too tired by i'm sure he did mess up somewhere
yep
Thing is maybe he was recording with a low enough histogram, which thus was affected by the bit deepth reduction.
I see
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.
Yeah i'm sure that the algorithm that reduces the bit depth adds compression in some way or another.
Sorry again if my writing is very lousy
@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
Did you buy the goto version?
gotcha
So you have to align from 0alt north or smth and it doesn't have clutches 
thats terrible
guyyyyysss, lets say im imaging at the wavelength 1.2um, how much will seeing effect me?
even further hypothetically, if i image at 1.6um, where the atmosphere is ~95% transparent and clouds are almost completely seethrough
do you think only light pollution would matter?
(im looking at swir cams rn)
they look affordable
How's this, jupiter with its storm
Kinda blurry tho
Cus i took it with my phone
Not a planetary camera
either used a bigger telescope or ur an exceptional planetary photographer
then I would assume that I exhausted my telescope a lot when it came to resolution
yeah ur telescope was just spitting resolution
moon and jupiter using 6" and a phone camera
@winter moat here's ur pic with my processing on it and u really did push ur telescope to it's limit
this one looks cooler
Nice processing
Can someone help me understand how I can properly sample according to my seeing
Bad - average seeing 5-6x pixel size is F ratio you want, good - excellent seeing do 7x pixel size in F ratio
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
Only just saw this, but it’s been answered by others. Just ask openly and someone will respond. I’m not the only knowledgeable person here.
It’s named actually.
How it works is:
native focal length x Barlow magnification x Adc magnification
As Tom has stated depending on some factors the ADC is between 1.1-1.3x Barlow. So yes the ADC affects things
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
When you say the ADC can be between 1.1-1.3x depending on some factors would this include atmospheric conditions?
Epicooooo
I am unsure.
Does anyone have any plans to shoot the Artemis?
insanely sharp jupiter with calisto transit. (calisto resolved?)
feel like this is pretty good for an 8"
quite insane liveview
calisto easily resolved during transit
shiggy wiggy
noooooooooo
40 panels mosaic
beautiful
thanks
Real file name
WOW
Don’t add fake stars
But looks good, how did you make it?
It's not fake stars..
I overlay them using my starmask
I Photoshoped them xD
Can I give some tips?
Yes yes I'm open to feedback!
Feedback appreciated!
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
alirght
- its best not to loose your detail in sharpening, so i would apply a lot more noise reduction or shapren a lot less
- do your best do blend each pannel so it matches the one next to it to overall you have a nice blend
- 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
- 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 was about to ask this image, and how did you sharpen it so well yet the highlight didn't blow up?
I saw your caption on instagram, you blend this umm like 3 days moon phases and then blend it together?
the glow i added on the image above could be better btw so dont use that totally as a reference
well forget the image blending part lol
here
here is the base image
thats not a processing thing, thats making sure your expure is perfect before capturing your images
I did 1/4 of histogram? Is that really dark?
Ahhh I seee.....
Yeahh
it all just depends on what phase and what part your shooting
i couldnt say for sure
but that sounds dark lol
No wonder autostakkert doesn't wanna stack my frames, I found it inconsistent...
It has like jump stuttering frames, and make my images looks like ghosting image
The point number 3 that I haven't get it yet, you mean the crater like in this part? Wait
yea i mean if its do dark it will have a hard time putting things together, i mean imagine trying to put a 1,000 piece puzzle together with your eyes closed
you mean this part?
i mean its a really good image and you got your principles right just need to exicute thats all
ye
ahh noted
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
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
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
ahhhh i see now...
im doing this untracked so its a little bit difficult for me xD
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
oh thank you
i tried my best to capture it in a way that is identical to what your eye sees on a full mooon night
yeeee
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
yep double check it, it has no problem with collimation
ahhhh no wonder...
here is my last mosaic
niceeeee
the files of my full moon ones are too big for here
this is mine with 13 panels with no barlow xD
did you manipulate the resolution ?
naw
ore used drizzel ?
ahh ok
only like 30-40 panels
i think i used 13 panels
this is probably my best
the base without the glow looks much better but the file is to big
did you feather the edges also? so the edges looks bright?
Very bad colomation
sorry i was replying to the glow part of the moon image
wdym
naah only 10 panels
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
Yea you just gotta add that
i see..
alright
thank you ken for giving me tips! i appriciated it alot
i will do it next time
Yep
tycho
i love shooting during the day
what is this ring? is this caused by barlow?
Anyone try recreating voyager’s “blue movie”?
In the late 2024 and early 2025 I downloaded thousands of still images of Jupiter taken by amateur planetary photographers from around the world stretching over a period of more than 3 month. I then made a selection of the images with the best overlap over almost 100 days. I remaped them into cylindrical projections, correcting for uniformity in...
This animation of Jupiter is made from more than 1,000 images taken by 91 amateurs from around the world between the 19th of December 2014 and the 31st of March 2015.
After collecting the images, they have been remaped into cylindrical projections by Christoffer Svenske and Johan Warell.
I have then color corrected, stacked and seamlessly stit...
I think so, could try flocking the inside of the barlow tube to try and improve that a bit. Might just be light reflecting off the lens itself.
o good idea
i just checked and the inside is pretty reflective
might be barlow quality too
i paid $30 for it
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.
This is amazing, Ethan. Never seen it before! Thanks for Sharing!
Dang both of these videos are amazing
i think i imaged all three lol
wait nvm this was 7 months ago
could someone derotate? my winjupos is broken atm
Have you tried reinstalling?
no but @winter moat did it so its fine 🙂
Does anyone know why can't I share my images in this channel?
You need image perms ask but don’t ping
nice
Thanks
Awesome mann
Was this wobble because of bad seeing or were you dancing next to the mount?
manually slewing
Are there any youtubers in this channel? I'd like to have a video explanation / review for Eise.app, but I'm not that type of guy myself. Do you know somebody who is on this Discord? I'm not (yet) familiar with all the cool peoples.
i dont think any of them know it exists
You’re in the Discord server of a Youtuber.
Haha yes, but Rory never reviews or explains software as far as I know 😄
What do you mean? The youtubers who are on this Discord, they don't know Eise exists? That's I think my point. Who are those people, and do you think I can send them a msg to ask this request?
You can ask deep space astro
Hes got his own server
He covers lots of tutorials but primarily on siril. Worth asking him
(the collimation was't perfect tho)

Hey Ethan, have you ever detected the entire enke gap? I was looking through your Instagram, super amazing your work.
No. 1 meter aperture can barely do it, but it doesn’t take much turbulence to lose it. https://www.damianpeach.com/picdumidi2017.htm
Wow! Thats for sharing link!
Didn’t Tom get it this year?
here first wide field animation of jupiter
Unfortunately, there were high clouds in the game
That's why the brightness fluctuates
Ahhh I gotcha
here with more saturation
aliens.
Spooky
It just happens sometimes, just pull the moon from one of your stacks and replace it where it should go
You need to manually align every frame not “auto align”
Also click options at the top and click moon processing and click 1 pixel
imagine spending hours processing just to get 3 thumbs ups
it shimmy
the yoinky sploink
Honestly no Barlow is gonna be better for this
Moon at dusk
Excellent seeing
iso 12800 btw
its iso format used in dslm/r
so 100 200 400 800 1600 3200 6400 12800 ...
i think theyre the same thing just different numbers
yee
Gotcha
@low oar new mosaic ! captured an hour ago
Looks really good you got the detail down nice but your over exposed which blew some craters out
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 👍
Thanks
I thought it didn't look so bad when areas were overexposed
I think it looks more natural
Like it's not perfect
Aye to each is their own
first time doing Jupiter with a real camera (untracked with a 150mm F8 dob)
Not bad at all
Not bad. There's slight image doubling, really noticeable on the moons. Might want to check colli.
collimation is great!, since im untracked and the stand wasnt sturdy enough because of the floor wasnt flat enough, there was a shaky frames i did included
1.5 drizzle,
Dude, Ken and Tom are buddies (and worked on projects together) and they’re both very skilled and knowledgeable. The final answer won’t change with the fact that Tom has a 24“
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
I’ll admit though the data Ken shared on the share data channel is absolutely insane
What should my gain and exposure be for a given night
It depends, so I rarely use the same exposure and gain
47 panels untracked
But I'm mostly between 25-60ms for my setup
Do you know which settings you use frequently?
I just put it to 10 ms and increase gain so my histogram is around 90%
90 percent is way too much 💀
Oh You work with the histogram
Really?
what are you tryna shooting at?
Jupiter
i usually do like 30-50 percent so i dont blow up the detail
What software do you use?
sharpcap
I feel like that would be really dim though
i think you should test and find the best settings for you, it depends on seeing also
mine looks great on 30-50 percent histogram
Is this what most people would try to aim for?
i dont know yet about this...
Ok
oh yeah feel free to put feedback! appriciate it alot!
I think it's a bit to over sharpened
but otherwise nice picture
ahhh i see.. i did sharpen it twice, first in registax and second in astrosurface
first one just look unsharpened enough yet xD
Can you show how only Registax has sharpened it?
You did a good job with Registax
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
Thanks!
Ahh i see
Here is a difference
This is your Registax only picture
Hmmm
Oh wow
I didn't sharpen that really well
And cause it to be uneven
Yee
When i do mosaics you can see differences if the seeing is different between the panels
That's a bit annoying
Yes yes
I use the same wavelet settings for every panel
Upper one looks a bit mushy..., but that's not really noticeable IMO
Still looks good!
Thx
seeing above average
nice
what scope do you use again ?
i think i ask you that bevor
diy hadley telescope 4.5 inch
ah
yeahh
after i have a decent mount, probably yes
with this telescope
for now i only do solar system photography with it
ahh
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
uff b9 is hard
but the f2 can help alot
a mono cam on that samyang would do not that bad in b9
im planning to attatch like dual band filter for it
ore that
to cut off the light pollution so my f2 isnt that really wasted
yep yepp
wish you much fun with it :D
yea
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
ahhh i see
im planning to buy the astro cam from p1. but the i reconsider it since the taxes is quite expenesive
in my country, so eventually i bought sv305 pro
woahhh
is it good?
its really god !
damnnn thats nice
looks so good!
thanks
bg is a bit clipped, but it looks good still!
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
ahhh i see
but the amp glove is hard to work with
If you don't get good calibration frames then it gets annoying
here
this is a master dark
what is it caused by?
from parts of the electronics around the sensor that give heat
i think
ahhh i see
ohhh thats why you need cooled mono
so it doesnt create any amp glow?
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
Ah I see...
Makes a lot easier when taking images, but yeah I'm still saving right now xD
yea do whats best for your wallet
Yeppp, thanks for explaining and giving info
Appreciate it alot
your welcome
Why can't I click on this Stack button?
Ahh now i see
Play with these settings
Until it recognizes structure
And you can make the picture brighter if you want
Yeah my jupiter was too dim for correct AP boxes. I got it now, thanks!
Hehe You are welcome
can there be 2 full moons in 1 month (calender month is longer than moon month)
if so
when will it happen
Try google for that one
may
excellent seeing 1.5 drizzle
Damn This is your best I've seen from you
Looks really good
Nice
after recollimate i see a huge improvement
Yup
But you can see strong artifacts from Drizzeln
How many pictures did you end up stacking?
The more pictures, the better the Drizzeln works
yepp, i dont really mind it actually
50 percent off like 6k frames
7k frames*
Ahh nice
I'm on my phone right now
So I use your online editing website
Oh its sharpend
Ok
I don't think there is a huge difference
was your seeing good ?
Oh yea "excellent"
i could say yes
You could try to stack 80 or 90 percent with Drizzeln
Hmm
But it is significantly lower
than before
and generally less noise
But the details are still good
yep yepp xD
looks very good xD
Thanks
Thanks
Thank you
Looks so good! Which online editing website did you use? What is/was your workflow?
wont have dithered

please report this youtube account as they are stealing not only my footage of telescopes, but many other content creator clips im sure you have seen before, report them as impersonations and link my channel or any other one you notice please
shame on him
bro took every single images from stellarium 😭
btw guys hows this, my first stack of jupiter and its red spot
U guys pay lots of money and hard work and this guy comes and steal ur telescope footage to get views
ye hopefully emough people report him, i already filed copyright claims
How many ppls telescope footage has he stolen
like 4 creators
Damn why don't u contact them and tell them that their footage is getting stolen
i filed legal copyright claims it will be taken care of
Hmm I hope it does
Bro is prob a 13 year old 😭
