vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:11 AM

#

#

it not allowing me to click on it

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:13 AM

#

vivid kernel anyone help me?

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:13 AM

#

tranquil zodiac I can only see one tif file in the google drive?

#

theres like 20

#

im pretty sure

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:13 AM

#

vivid kernel it not allowing me to click on it

Make sure to click planetary processing options I think

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:13 AM

#

did you tick planets in the source files page?

#

also tick join mode

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:13 AM

#

wait lemme do that

#

ok now i have the option

#

what should i select on it

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:15 AM

#

just enable it, no need to change where it has to be centered

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:15 AM

#

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:15 AM

#

loud geyser just enable it, no need to change where it has to be centered

so i should keep the option as none

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:15 AM

#

yep

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:15 AM

#

ok

#

anything else i gotta do

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:16 AM

#

output option as avi and I think that's it

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:16 AM

#

wait so wouldnt that give me a video?

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:16 AM

#

yes? what did you want to get?

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:17 AM

#

no like yk how people process and then stack their images to get a better resolutin image

#

resolution

#

i wanted to try get an image

#

like one image

#

thats very good

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:18 AM

#

pipp doesn't stack, you take the avi output and feed it to autostakkert

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:18 AM

#

ohh

#

forgot about auto stackert for a sec lma

#

lmao

#

#

this is all good right

#

or do i need to change the fps

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:20 AM

#

vivid kernel or do i need to change the fps

i dont think so. I have never done it before

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:20 AM

#

so should i keep it as 60

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:21 AM

#

yep did you shoot in 60 fps?

#

oh nvm you took pictures right?

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:21 AM

#

ye

#

took pics

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:21 AM

#

dont worry about frame rate then

#

it will play the frames in 60 fps

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:21 AM

#

if you set lower fps it will just take longer to play out those frames I think

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:22 AM

#

loud geyser if you set lower fps it will just take longer to play out those frames I think

any suggestions to what fps i should put it at?

#

coz like 60 would be quick as i have 20 frames ony

#

only

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:22 AM

#

you could set 20 so you get a 1s video

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:23 AM

#

its only 1 file on google drive unless im missing something

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:23 AM

#

ok

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:23 AM

#

tranquil zodiac its only 1 file on google drive unless im missing something

oh

#

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:26 AM

#

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:26 AM

#

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:26 AM

#

vivid kernel np could u have a try as well lol just in case mine doesnt work

ill try but i think yours will work

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:26 AM

#

ok

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:27 AM

#

next time I would recommend taking a video of saturn as you get more frames

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:27 AM

#

ok i did the processing and i got the video

#

as avi

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:27 AM

#

tranquil zodiac next time I would recommend taking a video of saturn as you get more frames

ah oki i will try that

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:28 AM

#

vivid kernel as avi

do you have autostakkert?

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:28 AM

#

yes

#

should i just put it through autostacker now ig

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:28 AM

#

you will need that to stack the avi file

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:28 AM

#

ok

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:28 AM

#

vivid kernel should i just put it through autostacker now ig

yep

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:29 AM

#

ok i have it on autostacker now

#

should i just leave the image stabalisation anchor on the middle of staurn

#

saturn*

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:30 AM

#

set the box to planet

#

i think it works better and is easier

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:30 AM

#

ye i put on planet

#

now the anchor thing is gone

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:30 AM

#

yep

#

now click analyse

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:31 AM

#

ok

#

done

#

gave me the quality graph

#

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:32 AM

#

i would stack all the files as there isnt much data but you can experiment with 10% stack or 20%

#

#

you should be able to click stack

#

leave drizzle off

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:33 AM

#

is that fine

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:33 AM

#

no, that would stack 4 images

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:33 AM

#

oh

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:33 AM

#

ye a bit too little

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:33 AM

#

try 100 since you only got 20 frames

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:33 AM

#

oki

#

ill try 100

#

it doesnt give me stack option tho

#

yet

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:34 AM

#

click analyse

#

no wait you did that already

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:34 AM

#

ye

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:34 AM

#

you have to place alignment points on the image

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:34 AM

#

do i need to place ap?

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:34 AM

#

alignment points

#

ye

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:34 AM

#

ok

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:34 AM

#

srry

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:34 AM

#

dw

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:35 AM

#

make it so there are only a couple. I find that gives the best results with planets

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:35 AM

#

it placed like one

#

when i pressed place ap

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:35 AM

#

try 24

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:35 AM

#

ye i did 2

#

24

#

and it only placed one

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:36 AM

#

you're supposed to place them in areas with high contrast but it's really small in the frame so Idk how many make sense

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:36 AM

#

you could try zoom and place them manually

#

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:36 AM

#

#

thats how it is rn

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:37 AM

#

try to stack and see how it goes

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:37 AM

#

i think one could even work xD

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:37 AM

#

ok

#

ill try stack lol

#

#

gave me that

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:38 AM

#

thats good i think

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:38 AM

#

thx

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:39 AM

#

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:39 AM

#

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:39 AM

#

loud geyser doesn't look bad, just needs some work with wavelets but I don't really know how...

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:40 AM

#

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:40 AM

#

cause i could quickly sharpen it if you want

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:40 AM

#

#

if u could sharpen it, that would be helpful

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:40 AM

#

vivid kernel na should i download it

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:40 AM

#

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:41 AM

#

ye i think so

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:42 AM

#

kk

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:43 AM

#

got this. Its a bit noisy because of the lack of data but that should be resolved by take more frames

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:43 AM

#

it aint downloading for some reason

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:43 AM

#

tranquil zodiac got this. Its a bit noisy because of the lack of data but that should be resolve...

dam

#

thats good

#

thx lol

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:44 AM

#

scroll down. the "this link" seems to work

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:45 AM

#

wait yk for saturn i have more frames, ill add them onto the google drive

#

if u could check them to see if they are alright

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:46 AM

#

how many more?

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:46 AM

#

tranquil zodiac scroll down. the "this link" seems to work

ye that worked

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:46 AM

#

tranquil zodiac how many more?

like in total i took more than 100 frames

#

but all the images show saturn all over the place

#

like its position is not constant

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:47 AM

#

vivid kernel but all the images show saturn all over the place

PIPP should align them for you

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:47 AM

#

vivid kernel like in total i took more than 100 frames

you wont unfortunatly notice much of a difference

#

it needs to be like 2000 frames.... Srry

#

thats why videos are better

#

60 frames a second

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:48 AM

#

ah ok

#

wait lemme check tho

#

@tranquil zodiac

#

ive got a bunch of frames for jupiter

#

ill put them onto a google drive

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:53 AM

#

Nice, how many frames?

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:54 AM

#

i mean what i did was that when i clicked on start capture i setthe frames to unlimited

#

and so it took loads of frames

#

and as i have a dobsonion

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:54 AM

#

are ok

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:54 AM

#

vivid kernel and as i have a dobsonion

nice same

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:54 AM

#

it took me a while to centre it

#

and it gave me loads of blank dark pics

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:55 AM

#

tranquil zodiac nice same

nicee

#

ill anyways put them on the google drive

#

ill try sort out the ones with jupiter actually on it

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:55 AM

#

what barlows did you use if you used one?

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:55 AM

#

oh i didnt use a barlow

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 11:55 AM

#

vivid kernel ill try sort out the ones with jupiter actually on it

you can tell pipp to reject the empty frames

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

u can?

#

thats good then

#

wait

#

so that means

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

tranquil zodiac

damn

#

ok lemme just upload all those frames

#

on drive

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 11:57 AM

#

i mean if you have loads of frames with no jupiter then discard them before as it will just take longer to process

#

e.g like 1000 blank frames

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 11:58 AM

#

i mean i discarded a few

#

but theres still like some

#

ok

#

i jave 1780 frames

#

of jupiter

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 12:00 PM

#

vivid kernel i jave 1780 frames

oooo thats pretty good. Much better than saturn

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 12:00 PM

#

yess

#

lemme get them up on drivw real quick

#

its gonna take a while to gwt on there

#

4 gb

tranquil zodiac Oct 25, 2023, 12:03 PM

#

np

#

try for yourself using the data. More practise

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 12:06 PM

#

ye im gonna try

loud geyser Oct 25, 2023, 12:08 PM

#

wouldn't it make more sense to upload the avi with all the frames instead of the singular images?

vivid kernel Oct 25, 2023, 12:16 PM

#

ye but i dont have them a avi

#

they are tiff

#

@tranquil zodiac

#

i processed using pipp

#

and i got the video

#

ill send the vid

#Saturn
