@vital elm if you want to try

shit atmosphere and guiding

[vital elm]

Sure and same guiding last night kinda sucked ngl atmosphere was quite calm though so i shot the moon

[restive lantern]

I rally cant do shit with this data. Big stars, walking noise and a blurry target

[vital elm]

Ill see what i can do for you (: just gotta process this guys triffid for him rq

[restive lantern]

thanks

[vital elm]

@restive lantern Uhh is this the wrong stack?

[restive lantern]

Oh crap wait

[vital elm]

Lol np

[restive lantern]

How about this? https://wetransfer.com/downloads/ab7a4933b919bf6fd54e5a9a88c85a8820230208120534/5e0acaf8dc89fb7f6135a53a544aeb6a20230208120543/8bbe39

[vital elm]

There u go M82 right

[restive lantern]

[restive lantern]

@vital elm its bad right? Idk what sent wrong. Probably atmosphere

[vital elm]

Lowkey actually not going bad at all

its defo slightly blurred but again thatll just be atmosphere

[restive lantern]

Oh wow. Well good luck then

[vital elm]

Nearly done 2 seconds just need to sort the stars out

@restive lantern Masks was a little off so it could be slightly cleaner but not bad! Some nice details in there but there was defo blurring and slightly out of focus but still pretty good ngl

[restive lantern]

Looks very nice. Thanks!

[vital elm]

Btw its not actually that far out of focus but decon shown the stars quite halo-y

[restive lantern]

Kinda inspired to actually process it myself

[restive lantern]

Its probably uncollimated. The focus also wasn’t perfect yeah. The atmosphere is also an issue here.

[vital elm]

Yeah you should reprocess im always reprocessing data XD

[vital elm]

Its fine tbh most the blurring was like 90% atmosphere

[restive lantern]

How did you get rid of the walking noise>

?

[vital elm]

Umm

I didn’t have any 😅

Did u do a background extraction by any chance?

That typically makes it more apparent

[restive lantern]

I did yah. You didnt?

[vital elm]

Nope

Didn’t need one

[restive lantern]

wellp. Ill be processing it in #📝-speak-easy-text if you want to join in

[vital elm]

Sure give me a min im just restacking data rn

[restive lantern]

alr, ill be there

[vital elm]

Well done!

[restive lantern]

@vital elm my relatively quick process

[vital elm]

I was gonna reprocess because my colours was off but i dont need to now

[restive lantern]

yours looks much much sharper in the core. Ig pixinsight has better decon software

[vital elm]

Yeah i deconned and sharpened so will be quite sharp

[restive lantern]

I mean PS doesn't even have deconvolution. Just the neandertal unsharpen mask

[vital elm]

Thats what i use after decon

just not in ps

[restive lantern]

As soon as I save up the 450 im getting me PI

[restive lantern]

Yeah but it doesn't replace decon so im kinda stuck in PS

[vital elm]

its great for sharpening but decon is ultimately what brings it out

[restive lantern]

yeah. ill have a look, if there are any free purely decon programs out there

[vital elm]

I mean siril does have decon

Not sure how good it is

[restive lantern]

utter garbage

[vital elm]

Ok yeah its not great

[versed timber]

Not very well experienced with Galaxy processing. But thought I would give it a go 🙂 Thanks for sharing.

[restive lantern]

Well done. Galaxy processing is much harder than standard nebulae.

[restive lantern]

@vital elm final process

[vital elm]

Nice! Really good although the background might be a little clipped but maybe only slightly but apart from that details look better and colours are really nice! Well done!

[restive lantern]

I like clipped backgrounds. The noisy grey backgrounds disgust me.

(“At least for galaxies, not for nebulae”)
