hall of shame

[marble apex]

FMA Transmutation of the moon.

[tepid kraken]

noisy and dull pile of shit

its fine if you stand 10 meters away and wear someone elses glasses

[craggy anvil]

it looks fine with my friends -8/-8 glasses

[tepid kraken]

I thought your name said yummy heroin

[craggy anvil]

it does

[robust monolith]

This would be a great image imo if I imaged it 😭

I dont think its nearly as bad as you say

[pseudo raven]

first image w newtonian 💀

[unborn parrot]

moon used to mean silver in alchemy so makes sense

[stiff fox]

Wdym looks fine

[pseudo raven]

it’s so pale :/

[stiff fox]

What galaxy is it

Bodes?

[pseudo raven]

M81 ea

[stiff fox]

Just get more integration and do a saturation stretch

[pseudo raven]

Ive had 15 hours already. Need more?

[stiff fox]

Oh no that should be enough just do a color stretch/saturation stretch

[pseudo raven]

Ran it through graxpert first yesterday and it turned yellow ish.

[stiff fox]

I prefer to leave graxpert after i have done my processing

I noticed it leaves significantly less artifacts doing it that way

[pseudo raven]

Yeah.. kinda doing different workflows to see what it does.

[timber night]

Graxpert 🥀

Try processing it wo it

[timber night]

From my xp it always does smthng weird w the data

[pseudo raven]

did that the first time. It came out as the hall of shame

[stiff fox]

Still just take your current data and do a saturation stretch

It will solve the color issue

[harsh iris]

[echo frost]

And color calibrate

[final quiver]

No amount of post processing is saving this shi

🥀

[robust monolith]

Guess who forgot to take flats

[pseudo raven]

not me

[vestal venture]

Sup optimal.

Shame on me for dropping my image train.

[craggy anvil]

i hope you get dropped as punishment for dropping occoma corrector

[vestal venture]

Drop yo ass

[craggy anvil]

what is it cakked

calma

carma

[vestal venture]

Karma?

[craggy anvil]

yea!

[timber night]

Lucky it didn't crack

[rustic cairn]

could be worse

[sand girder]

😭

[glossy smelt]

first ever process

||credits to: @compact geyser for the data||

and this is my second one

[compact geyser]

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[rustic cairn]

I hate it when every star in my galaxy goes supernova at the same time

[sonic wedge]

This feels fitting here

It was my first attempt at lunar imaging and the stack did not go well

I used Autostakkert for the first time, not sure what the issue here is

if anyone has any ideas, please help :)

also this is the heavily compressed version, the big file is over 150MB

[austere basin]

Turn off all image calibration settings(especially column noise reduction), drizzle is also a little weird

Then it should work

[sonic wedge]

I didnt think i had any on, but ill give it another go

[sonic wedge]

That did not improve it, but I do think I might have found teh problem

I think its a frame alignment issue

however, I need to be up for work in less than 8 hours so will be taking leave for the night lol

[surreal dew]

it can, send me the raw data lol

[cursive prism]

i am so done with siril omfg

[pseudo raven]

[craggy anvil]

😭

[tepid kraken]

i very much doubt this is sirils fault lol

[cursive prism]

Yeah it wasn't lol

I just learned what an offset is for

[timber night]

Needs more blue

[surreal dew]

do a print run asap🙏🙏

[rustic cairn]

you appear to have some stars in your chromatic aberration

[jade venture]

Spent 27 hours imaging this region in Ha, just to buy a new telescope before I finished the project😭 💔

[desert hedge]

Buying new equipment is the worst, you instantly feel like all of the data you've gathered so far is useless

[pseudo raven]

@surreal dew

[surreal dew]

oh my god bruh

[tawdry seal]

what

[noble summit]

Bro took a picture of hell itself

[surreal dew]

i think i was messing around with curves and accidentally saved that

[pseudo raven]

Bro generated his own HA data

[lucid chasm]

don't let anybody tell you you can't shoot jupiter at 500mm full frame

[carmine grove]

you can't shoot jupiter at 500mm full frame

[craggy anvil]

you can't shoot jupiter full frame at 500mm

[lucid chasm]

but... the banding.... alright you can't 😩

[surreal dew]

can shoot saturn at 55

ong i got the rings on a 55mm lens

[jade siren]

i did 400mm

[lucid chasm]

i have seen incredibly better results than mine with photo lenses, how did yours turn out?

[jade siren]

not terible

[lucid chasm]

not bad yea, much more contrast

[timber night]

Wh

What did u expect it to analyze

[surreal dew]

i was curious

[tawdry seal]

[tawdry seal]

Test of my new scope (held the phone up to the eyepiece l way to image gotta stary imaging with the canon 600d )

[marble apex]

Imaging DSOs?

[tawdry seal]

Later
First learning the scope

Mount to

[stiff fox]

Oh no my steak is too juicy and my lobster too buttery

Like how is that an issue just keep on using your old setup

[stiff fox]

Show proof

[surreal dew]

1 frame ofc

that was my first ever astrophoto

[surreal dew]

do you even count this lmao

[stiff fox]

What is that saturn?

Also it's out of focus

[surreal dew]

yes

[surreal dew]

first EVER astrophoto

[jade venture]

Had to downsize when I moved to university. That’s why I bought a rokinon 135 and had to move on from my zenithstar 61.

Same thing happened to my mount, and I went from an heq5 pro to a umi 17 r

[stiff fox]

You could still use that

[stiff fox]

Fair

[tepid kraken]

huh?

how is the zenithstar 61 too big?

[jade venture]

Other factors, really. Being at university meant I had limited time for imaging, so f/2.8 was a lifesaver. And while I probably could have gotten away with the Z61, I only had a small desk for my personal items in a room already shared with two other people. The Rokinon was considerably smaller than the Z61 with the flattener and draw tube extended.

Though I get why you’d think sticking with the Z61 would have been fine.

[surreal dew]

great dust spot

[robust monolith]

Ty its a new discovery

[surreal dew]

i think i got it too

top left

[frail lily]

a lot of dust

[carmine grove]

This is actually sick though

Unironically

[surreal dew]

all in your mind

[carmine grove]

I might attempt some glitch art like this tonight

[tepid kraken]

you reminded me about people drawing with their mount, maybe try that

[marble apex]

That is quite impressive.

From an artistic point, interesting.

From the standpoint of astrophotography, it's impressive for all the wrong reasons.

[blissful phoenix]

Vro took a photo of blood cells 💔😭

[frail lily]

Rained

[tawdry seal]

rip to ur electronics

[frail lily]

I checked

Everything is fine

Mount works

Canera idk, couldn’t test it out but should also work

Laptop had a blanket on so it didn’t get rain

[tawdry seal]

niceluck

luck*

[pseudo raven]

You tried to wipe it with a towel or something?

[frail lily]

i didnt

there were small purple stains from isopropanyl when i first cleaned it, they dissapeared but it seems like they become visible when it is wet

[stiff fox]

[stiff fox]

Not really if it's turned off there is a 99% chance of survival

[tawdry seal]

true accualy

[craggy anvil]

false :(

[stiff fox]

Well you gotta clean and dry it

Afterwards otherwise there could still be moisture trapped or corrosion that causes a short circuit and kills your electronics

[craggy anvil]

corrosion doesn't even need to short it :(

corrosion just makes everything shitty

[timber night]

Corrosion can still kill your electronics both via short circuit or by stopping a circuit, depending what corroded

[craggy anvil]

arent oxides an ionic bond?

[timber night]

Not the main reason it breaks electronics, it's mostly by eating away thin wiring, or build up of higher resistant material, or if the corrosion ends up contacting two wires at the same time

[craggy anvil]

if its an ionic bond it cannot conduct electricity without being in a liquid or as a liquid solution

and an ionic bond is between a metal and a non metal

so it doesnt make sense

also i know that it breaking traces is the main reason it stops stuff working

thats why i said what i said

(false was to the claim that it being off gives it a 99% survival chance)

[timber night]

It being off helps reduce the likelihood of damage tho

Helps against active short circuits

[craggy anvil]

yea but it being off still has a very high chance of it breaking

[timber night]

True but if the electronics are somewhat enclosed (like an eaf), it's not unreasonable to claim that there's less chance for damage

[stiff fox]

Also rain is an extremely poor conductor of electricity due to a lack of dissolved minerals while something like tap water or river water are far better conductors while ocean water will almost always kill your electronics

So if you clean it in a timely manner and if it's turned off there is a 99% chance of it surviving

[craggy anvil]

false

still false

its got a 100% chance of not being a 99% chance

[stiff fox]

Buddy i literally dropped my head phones into a creek and they survived

[craggy anvil]

[timber night]

Short term exposure doesn't yield the same amount of damage as long term exposure

[craggy anvil]

thats true yeah but 99% is very very very generous

[stiff fox]

They survived because i turned it off the second it hit the water and left it in the sun to dry then once i got home i opened it up and cleaned it with isopropyl keep in my my headphones have zero water protection

[craggy anvil]

im just saying its not 99%

[stiff fox]

Have you guys not been reading anything I've been saying

[craggy anvil]

my headphones survived me listening to music underwater

[timber night]

Bro doesn't get hyperbolies

[timber night]

Bro I'm trying to say short term exposure in the rain won't ruin ur shi 😭

[stiff fox]

What did i just say "timely manner"

[craggy anvil]

it was left like all night

[stiff fox]

But did it rain all night probably not

[craggy anvil]

water is still water

any water that got in during the rain doesnt just dissapear

[timber night]

Why did bro set up 😭

Thought it just rained for 10min at dawn or smtjng

[craggy anvil]

its a light bucket gone water bucket

[craggy anvil]

im gunna guess it was like 2-3 or something when ur not awake to save ur scope

so it gets left like 4 hours before you notice

could be wrong

[timber night]

I don't take any risk of rain before a time I'm not willing to wake up at 😭

[stiff fox]

If it rain near morning then less exposure

[craggy anvil]

tbh i dont even set up if it says it will be cloudy at all

[timber night]

Clouds for an hour or so anytime during the night is fine, I just add a reslew to target instruction after the forecasted clouds

[tawdry seal]

Denoise in sirli does NOT work 😭

[timber night]

nah trust thats the true signal we've all been missing out on

[tepid kraken]

please don't add mold to your images

[tawdry seal]

i left sirli open for to long so it got moldy

[rustic cairn]

I love the Pleiades Penicillium star cluster

[carmine grove]

What did you do before you attempted to denoise?

I found that color matrix transforms cause the denoise to do this

(You might also want to put this in #1220109001682059275)

[jade siren]

The denoising already in siril is for mono data only

[carmine grove]

uh...it works on color data?

I mean you can denoise the channels independently and see if that works

[jade siren]

Are you referring yo gracpery denoise?

Graxpert

[carmine grove]

No, this is the built-in NL-Bayes denoise

[jade siren]

Interesting

[craggy anvil]

you can make it work for colour!!!!!!

[carmine grove]

(The artifacts are definitely ones I've seen from NL-Bayes)

[jade siren]

If you Bayer drizzled ive thought

[craggy anvil]

its from the remove salt and pepper noise

remove salt and pepper noise used to do that to me

[carmine grove]

Ohhhh

[surreal dew]

telllllllllllllllllllll me about it

[rustic cairn]

Oh my goodness😭

[pseudo raven]

Imaged the rainbow at night.

[surreal dew]

this is freaking great wdym

[timber night]

Aight mister what happened

[rustic cairn]

this just looks kinda neat

[pseudo raven]

Background extraction 🙈

[woven yew]

horrendous image of jupiter

wait here:

[sand girder]

why is it rotated lmfao

[tawdry seal]

idk

[pseudo raven]

Bro imaged sideways

[sand girder]

try not to take an image of jupiter with the right rotation challenge impossible

[woven yew]

i took it with an iphone and i had to rotate it to get the longest way for jupiter to travel through the FOV 😭

yes 😔

[surreal dew]

imaged the sun at night

[woven yew]

what the actual hell

[rustic cairn]

Ah so that's the trick! Don't need a solar filter to look at the sun safely, just do it at night when it's darker

(for legal reasons, don't)

[rustic cairn]

wow that telescope's got quite a long focal length

[echo badger]

thought i was on a different server with the same channel name rip
