CENTAURUS A Ashen's Dungeon

[twin zodiac]

might give it a go too now

[twin zodiac]

this data is SWEET

reminds me of that project moana stuff

[cold storm]

Cheater

[twin zodiac]

@tawny minnow gonna have to up ur game

[brazen plaza]

I didn't even know that blue dust on the sides existed

Its in everyone else's processes too idk how i never noticed

[twin zodiac]

starless

looks juiced

[brazen plaza]

Holy crap

I should try it

[twin zodiac]

yuh

[brazen plaza]

I'll probably forget by the time i can tho

[twin zodiac]

do it now

ur on dc anyway

[brazen plaza]

im on phone

i was about to sleep

[cinder bane]

Maybe i shouuuuld get more data.

[tawny minnow]

Get like 20h then you’ll be good for this target.

[cold storm]

[kindred steppe]

Which scope do you use?

The trifid so sharp

[cinder bane]

1000mm F5 Skywatcher newt

[kindred steppe]

ah, ok

[untold meadow]

that looks hella nice

i want to reprocess this cause i honestly dont like the colors i got

[sour cobalt]

first ever pixinsight process

could've done better

[twin zodiac]

theres no going back

[sour cobalt]

im too poor to get a permanent license

and i enjoy siril more

but this is just my first day

so what can i say

[twin zodiac]

i started on siril, and i liked it a lot

but ive switched to pix for like 2y now, its probably THE best thing ive done to improve my astrophotography

really good investment considering the money

even though its expensive for software, the effect it has on your images is much more than anything else you can get for the price

[cinder bane]

Honestly youve done well

It’s not amazing but it works

You’ve done many things well there

[sour cobalt]

❤️

[sour cobalt]

what should i work on and what did i do good on?

[twin zodiac]

work on colours (use SPCC for colours, select a neutral black region for dark reference)

work on stretch (i use GHS to stretch the dust and background apart, then use autostretch to finish the job

autostretch is incredibly simple but good, id recommend starting with that, then incorporating GHS to get a bit more dust separation

also, use less sharpening or denoise than you are here, some details look oversharpened and "wrinkly"

for example this area, looks like too much blurx, or topaz or something

[sour cobalt]

👍

ill try again rn

@twin zodiac whats your workflow?

[sour cobalt]

part 2

[twin zodiac]

my workflow is quite long, ashen wanted to know as well. usually i spend 1+ hour working on a dataset

[sour cobalt]

😲

[cold storm]

gonna process this tonight

[cold storm]

well this is one helluva sharp dataset

very nice

I used MGC to correct any gradients, idk if the correction is perfect, probably wasnt even necessary tbh

what coma corrector do you use? these stars are perfect corner to corner which is insane

[supple swift]

~3 edits incoming

[kindred steppe]

nice data. Starnet ruined my stars

[untold meadow]

Did you remove the stars when the image was non linear

[kindred steppe]

surely

[cinder bane]

Skywatcher f/5 coma corrector

Will come back with more comments and feedback soon everyone!

But the kind words have been very encouraging so, thanks :)

[rose ferry]

im not great at processing images but i gave it a go :)

[cold storm]

bruh

im using the one that comes with the quattro and my corners are garbage, even on my 533

im sure it's just collimation skill issue but idk how much better i can get them

[cinder bane]

Could be collimation yeah

I’ve ALWAYS struggled with collimation. Only thing I’ve found that works is using a well collimated laser. Even then, its not perfect at all but i just try get it as good as possible. After the laser i just stick my cam in with a fisheye (all sky) lens on the front of it, and make sure the primary is collimated

The secondary i just use the laser

Primary is laser + all sky lens

[cinder bane]

Is ur backspacing done well?

[cold storm]

afaik yes

i think i was at 55.5 mm with the system i was running at the time when i used my 533 and had issues

correction, 56.5 with the 533

and 55.5 with my 571

i quite literally cannot make it shorter with the 571 though unless i dont use an OAG, and that's pretty sketchy

[twin zodiac]

why oag sketchy? you might get better guiding if setup properly

[cold storm]

no oag is sketchy

cause people encounter differential flexture with the quattro constantly

Octavio was forever and just fixed it

[twin zodiac]

oh yeah didnt read properly 😥

[cinder bane]

revive

[supple swift]

New data?

[cinder bane]

soon

Hopefully

-# tm

[supple swift]

New master processor when

[cinder bane]

True, soon probs

[cinder bane]

[CHECK PINS] Ashen's Dungeon

[supple swift]

tm

[cinder bane]

temporary submission until i get more integration ill put it in the GD

[dense parcel]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FRIDGE

we got data better than JWST from Ashen before gta6 thats crazy lol

[dense parcel]

actual crazy data

i'm anxious for the final result

btw these new siriL aditions are crazy look at these tiny galaxies so cute

[twin zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/donut-glaze-satisfying-gif-13180530

[cinder bane]

Yo wth that’s sick

[cinder bane]

[cinder bane]

Hell yeah brother, cant wait to post the full 20-30 hours hopefully.

[dense parcel]

this is how much for now???

[dense parcel]

yoo 30 hours?!

[cinder bane]

Wdym?

[dense parcel]

how many hours did you take already

[cinder bane]

It’s at 6.7 atm but I am entering a comp with this data so am gonna try get 30 hours over the next month.

[dense parcel]

nice man!

wish i had a good setup and sky lol i would take 100 hours per night

[cinder bane]

wha- yes.

[dense parcel]

hehe

[lament trellis]

What comp?

[worn berry]

[lament trellis]

Mac uni?

[worn berry]

yea

[cinder bane]

11 hour helix dropping tn

Might drop a combined version with me and @lament trellis ‘s data if we can get it combined well

Combined should be well over 20h

[lament trellis]

I have 11.5

[cinder bane]

Same

[cinder bane]

https://tenor.com/view/laptop-smoking-fire-burning-lag-gif-19373925

im trying lmao

[lament trellis]

https://discord.com/channels/794642864218439681/1411481334391767080

He released it here

[cinder bane]

Excuse me i did not

[lament trellis]

@fallow flame

[ancient cedar]

@cinder bane

I tried.

[fallow flame]

Been a while since I jumped on one of these

[cinder bane]

Interesting colours but it’s balanced nicely

Bg is good too

Stats could use some colour

[cinder bane]

If anyone tries the helix data!!! Use this one not the one in the drive

I’ll upload it to the drive tomorrow

[cinder bane]

Very clean process beanbag

very very clean

And my latest edit of my trifid data

[cinder bane]

@final crescent

[final crescent]

[cinder bane]

I spent like 4 hours editing helix and 1.5 on trifid :/

Kinda mad lol but I had to go

I’ve been working on extracting more dust

Statistics stretch with intermittent GHS stretched in the post linear phase is INSANE at pulling dim stuff out (with a light noisex applied after (deepsnr still applied in linear stage))

[jolly gull]

very grey

[dense needle]

it would be perfect with more saturation

[cinder bane]

Yeah I ran out of time to edit unfortunately

[cinder bane]

^

[fallow flame]

Thanks man, been trying a couple of different techniques

[shy goblet]

@cinder bane finally get around to all of these. Heres the first of many.

[buoyant magnet]

@cinder bane I've also had a go at it

[shy goblet]

more of this one please 🙂

[supple swift]

We're grinding the cosmos I see

[cinder bane]

Reaaaally nice bro! Good stuff

You are quite good at stretching

If you’d like critical feedback lmk

[shy goblet]

its your data. you can critique it however you like 👍 ....i might politely disagree, but i always love feedback. We never get better w/o it 😀

[supple swift]

Imagination,when?

[cinder bane]

Lmao

[cinder bane]

This is good but looks a bit grainy, could do with a star and noise reduction + dust saturation

[cinder bane]

Nice

[cinder bane]

This is nice, maybe has too much red though? The stars and galaxy are all yellow

I’ll get more data on that one with my big scope when it comes up

[cinder bane]

This looks good but the globular cluster looks really crunchy and fcked up

Here’s how it should lol

You got a really nice amount of dust though, here’s mine for comparison

[cinder bane]

Nice!

[cinder bane]

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-17729711691959966457

[cinder bane]

Damn this one is really good too

Like really really good

[shy goblet]

@cinder bane thanks for taking the time to write some notes. I got lazy on tarantula last night and didn't go thru all my normal steps

[shy goblet]

some of the data is definitely better than others...where the data allows it you can get some really nice processes. Really the data is doing most of the work...its nicely done tbh.

[cinder bane]

Yeah definitely, some of the datasets are years old haha

The new ones cook 🔥

New data will drop tomorrow (if it’s bright enough)

Otherwise I’ll need another night to dedicate to it

[cinder bane]

mega data drop tomorrow

This single sub shows you how sharp it is

(If all goes well with imaging, I’m not at home to monitor it). It’s gonna be FIRE.

My image of it 3 YEARS ago

[cinder bane]

[NEW DATA!!!! CHECK PINS] Ashen's Dungeon

FULL HELIX DATASET AND NGC 6744 HAS BEEN UPLOADED

[shy goblet]

@cinder bane

you gonna add more?

[cinder bane]

!!NGCC 6744 NOW UPLOADED!!

[cinder bane]

ashen sucking at galaxy proccessing saga continues

[cinder bane]

not much has changed

This data is on the rougher side in terms of how the quality of my data in general goes

quality but rough bg + noise

its a good challenge

What time is it in Australia?

[cinder bane]

[supple swift]

I thought it was getting dawn

[cinder bane]

hahaha

revision

[supple swift]

You gotten a jet stream 😄

[cinder bane]

@lament trellis surely have a go at editing this

youll be shooting it soon (hopefully) anyway

[lament trellis]

Let’s be fr bro

[cinder bane]

what

[lament trellis]

Maybe tommorow

[cinder bane]

ur rig be getting better

[lament trellis]

Bro every time I upgrade something new comes in the way and my images look the same or worse

Like idk how you’ve gotten so sharp

[dense needle]

That last galaxy image is pretty blurry for me

[dense needle]

Is this a png?

[cinder bane]

how blurry?

[cinder bane]

yes

[cinder bane]

heres a SS

[dense needle]

I can see the individual pixels on both

[cinder bane]

wym lmao

screenshot

[cinder bane]

view in browser

or save the image and then view it

[dense needle]

I saved it, it looks better on browser

May just be the lack of int

From what sqm/bortle do you shoot?

[shy goblet]

What scope is the 1000mm data coming from?

[cinder bane]

bortle 5-6 and this was broadband. Yes it is a very low amount of data and ill prove upon it soon.

[cinder bane]

Skywatcher 8" F/5 Newt

why?

[shy goblet]

just curiousity 🙂

[cinder bane]

data drop coming soon

[dense parcel]

what data?????????????????????

pls be m42

loll

[cinder bane]

It’s NGC 6744 but I’ve got a new version to upload

[ancient cedar]

He will never do m42

[dense parcel]

Nooooooo don't say that!!

We must believe for it to happen!

[latent carbon]

@cinder bane what filters did you use for the Horsehead?

[cinder bane]

Duo band

[latent carbon]

k

[kindred steppe]

kinda blown out

[cinder bane]

Dude wth 😭

[cinder bane]

Exact same data lol

Brother what

[kindred steppe]

I know this is not #1337566901496320101 but how is it even possible to do that with this kind of data? 😭

[cinder bane]

Exactly 😭💀

[kindred steppe]

Processed on windows 7 Gimp 1.0.0

[cinder bane]

bro if you are actually serious about that process I’m down to help you some time but damn maybe watch a tutorial or smth

There’s good free tools out there

[latent carbon]

yeah, probably after my HYE

[cinder bane]

HYE?

Oh

[latent carbon]

Half Yearly Examination

[edgy summit]

"kinda"

[latent carbon]

also idk how I went from decent data to cheseballs

[cinder bane]

Bump

[steady saddle]

Fun one

think ive added too much contrast

[dense parcel]

which one is this?

[steady saddle]

australis

[dense parcel]

this neb is beautifull but i might as well take some notes of how to learn propper processing again, i'm kinda bad at it again lol

[cinder bane]

this is nice!

[cinder bane]

do you happen to have a higher res version?

theres maybe some slight gradient in it

[dense parcel]

Thanks!

[cinder bane]

(this image is a BTICH to bg extract i know)

[dense parcel]

Noo I always exclude all files after processing since my pc Is more like a Potato than a actual pc lol

[dense parcel]

Yeah that's fr lol

[cinder bane]

hahha fair enough

have you seen my edit? (for reference)

[dense parcel]

Don't think so

There are too many messages to pass in these chat

I just can't find it lol

[cinder bane]

hahah fair enough

[dense parcel]

Oh dang that's good

[cinder bane]

thank you sir

[dense parcel]

It's pretty close to mine but I didn't get that much contrats

[cinder bane]

yeah def, yours is good just different

[dense parcel]

And ur denoise is better did u use noiseX?

[cinder bane]

hmmm, maybe deep snr not sure, it was a while ago

[dense parcel]

Hum ok

Deep Snr is good tbh I never used it tho

[cinder bane]

i think maybe some of the colours in mine came out better, for eg the bg galaxy

[cinder bane]

are you pix or siril?

[dense parcel]

SiriL

I'm poor

[dense parcel]

Yeah true

[cinder bane]

mine vs ur bg galaxy

not trying to say one is better just giving pointers from what i would improve btw, dont want to seem like a dic hahaha

[cinder bane]

jeez dude you should be proud of that

[dense parcel]

Yeah ur colors and denoise went way better but it's a pretty close call for me

[cinder bane]

siril is hard

i did not think that was a siril edit

[dense parcel]

Hehehe I use siriL for over 5 years straight I got some experience

[cinder bane]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish

[cinder bane]

like look at this lol

[dense parcel]

Yeah my processings are all 100% free software

I never paid a buck

[cinder bane]

goddamn, good stuff

you got plans to get pix eventually?

[dense parcel]

Yeah but tbf he entered the community this year

[cinder bane]

with more ccontrast i think this would be better than my own edit lol

[dense parcel]

Not yet since I'm literally 15 and in Brazil pix is literaly a month pay

[dense parcel]

SiriL isn't able to push more than that the bg would be like that

[cinder bane]

sorry i never got back to you on this, but this is nice! maybe the bg could use some work but its good! with a better bg and green reduction it would be very very solid

[cinder bane]

fair enough, you should bee very proud with what youve got damn lad

[dense parcel]

Some green removal and the auto bge siriL script I think this would be fine

[dense parcel]

Thanksss

[cinder bane]

maybe try out gimp or something for further tweaks, even photos app on iphone is good for black level and contrast as well as green/purple and yellow/blue balanccing

[dense parcel]

Yeah I tried gimp for a while but I try to keep it just for my bigger processing like my entries to mpc

I used it in some of my entries in the last one but didn't go too well loll

[cinder bane]

ahhh rip, well, i mean your skills are definitely there, you just dont have the tools. Not ur fault tho so id say ur doing pretty well. at ur age my processes were uh.....

the ol iphone shabang

[dense parcel]

Yeah I mean it's pretty hard ro be interested in this things my age imagine being good

[dense parcel]

Outch

[cinder bane]

wdym?

[dense parcel]

To be fair my images are worse

[dense parcel]

Nobody almost nobody my age likes this things

Atleast here in brazil

[dense parcel]

I'm just good at processing but not that much at taking those

[cinder bane]

ahh true

[cinder bane]

once you get a bit older and get more money to spend on it you will be cracked

[dense parcel]

Probably cuz I don't have a specialized camera neither a good mount

Yeah but I still need freedom too

Lol

I take pics at b9

But with time I'll get good at it

Well I need to go to school my man

Cya

[cinder bane]

👋

[steady saddle]

Ty it turned Out better than i thought
i forgot to Run Msgr at the start and then Just went with it thats why the bg is a bot weird xD

my pc might burn with 10mb data i'll be ready for that

[cinder bane]

NEW FLAME DATA [CHECK PINS] Ashen's Dungeon

Have at it, only putting in the channel because i will upload the final mosaic to the drive at a later date

@serene wolf

[atomic hawk]

I know that this was over a year ago, but is this pgc 54559?

[dense parcel]

gonna have fun

[cinder bane]

I think it was just a halo

[dense parcel]

yo this data is hard lol

and wth is this

[atomic hawk]

I think your right, I didn't fully read the message, so I didn't realize it was from the image of the trifid nebulae

[cinder bane]

Internal reflection

[cinder bane]

Is this finished?

Pls tell me you didn’t crop out Alnitak and V901

[cinder bane]

Looks good

Alnitak is decently controlled but missing out on a lot of background dust and Ha in V901

And the internal reflection is still there

Could maybe turn down the glow of Alnitak a bit too

[dense parcel]

ah, how to take it out?

[dense parcel]

not yet i stop for a bit

[dense parcel]

i'm not crazy my man that was just to be more clear on the thingy

lol

[cinder bane]

Bahahaha

[cinder bane]

Me asf

[dense parcel]

lol i'mma do it rn

[urban dragon]

was really annoying since someone decided to put that star right there

didn't get any of the HA out

[dense parcel]

yeah fr idk how to get this star out of explode mode

[cinder bane]

Range mask

[cinder bane]

😔

[dense parcel]

btw my siriL crashed trying to starnet it lol

[dense parcel]

whats that...

[cinder bane]

Your dust looks good, however very high noise, the Ha is mustard colour, and Alnitak is much too bright

[urban dragon]

yeah im working on a reedit

[cinder bane]

Tool in pix and photoshop, not sure about Siril, allows you to select the brightest parts of the image, blur it and make it a mask

Then you apply the mask and destretch

[dense parcel]

aaah i might try it i have photoshop but not instalated lol

[cinder bane]

Your attempts are very much appreciated

Lmk if you have any questions or need help

[dense parcel]

okkk

[cinder bane]

@fallow flame care to try me data?

[dense parcel]

that was a really fun data after u said to me how to use range mask

but i still need to get better at it lol

did some green noise removal

[cinder bane]

Looking better!

You’re pulling looooots of dust

Contrast increase and removal of the internal reflection would go a looong way

Edit if your data in iPhone photos app

Looks much punchier

You genuinely pulled more outer flame dust than I did

[fathom shale]

kinda messed up the background near the star

[fallow flame]

Aight

[dense parcel]

fr

[dense parcel]

tkxxxx

[dense parcel]

thats very nice just gotta be more carefull with the bge as u can see at the star side

me fr rn felling like i can do anything

[lament trellis]

badunkie

also @cinder bane how is the mosaic so far (i wanna compare horsies)

[cinder bane]

I haven’t imaged since night 1

No clear

[lament trellis]

Oof

https://discord.com/channels/794642864218439681/1445291496101117964
someone pls try

[plain ermine]

late but here

the star is very annoying

[lament trellis]

Wanna try something on the other side of the star (without the star being annoying

[plain ermine]

ur horsehead?

i can

[lament trellis]

precisely

[cinder bane]

Mf soliciting in my thread

https://tenor.com/view/dave-chappelle-no-soliciting-gif-4945436435818170742

[cinder bane]

Looks alright but definitely has a bit of a browny-green haze over it

[cinder bane]

@plain ermine it is possible to control the star a bit more

Ur V901 (ha/oiii nebula in the top left) looks very good

how?

[cinder bane]

Create a range mask for the high end, bring down RGB curves

[plain ermine]

program?

[cinder bane]

PixInsight but should be possible in photoshop

Maybe even gimp

[cinder bane]

#1019937457095065731 message so theres this

not uploading cos its planetary data and blurry but nonetheless if anyone wants to try it lol

[lament trellis]

nice data but idk what im doing

@cinder bane

[cinder bane]

It’s decent

Makes me realise I need to fix the white point on mine

Details may be a little fried

[kindred steppe]

@cinder bane what do you say? Quick Ghs stretch with some curves

Maybe Alnitak is a bit to "glowy"

[kindred steppe]

Removed that reflection with a siril script, now it looks a bit weird

[cinder bane]

Looks good but has artifacting, maybe needs to be upscaled or smth?

[untold meadow]

what artifacting specifically

[cinder bane]

There’s lines around it ykwim

See the diff?

Other than that it’s good, probs just needs an upscale

[untold meadow]

hmm i dont have that

thats some compression junk

[dense parcel]

had to do this one again

pls dont zoom in there are some.....

artefacts

[cinder bane]

Imaging this again tonight with the new scope

5 second exposure

This is my result from the old data (500mm scope) (the data uploaded here)

[cinder bane]

@dense parcel

[dense parcel]

Yooooo

[dense parcel]

When new data come? in 2 secs may i say?

while theres no new data i'll do centaurus A again

the old one

[dense parcel]

Wasnt as good as my last process ig

but this image is just crazy man i love it

[dense parcel]

yeah i was lazy with the stars

[cinder bane]

[cinder bane]

6.3 hours worth, came out very cleanly

I think you’ll bust when you see it

[cinder bane]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-gif-4677175942198662182

[plain ermine]

thats so cool

[cinder bane]

@arctic sigil continue here! thank you anyway. And yeah idk, my seeing was pretty good last night, came out well.

[arctic sigil]

btw bro how do u like avoid getting a piece of the background along with the stars when ur generating a starmask?

[arctic sigil]

yep 😊

[cinder bane]

it is difficult, theres always a tiny bit of galaxy that gets in there. But generally i denoise then remove stars and it helps a tonne

[arctic sigil]

do u like upscale the image before? or like use smaller strides

idk why but like when i do it i almost get a piece of the background everytime lol

[cinder bane]

nah i keep at native resolution all the way

[cinder bane]

show me

ill pull up my stars image if i have it

starless

stars

[arctic sigil]

lowk looks so good

do u stretch them or are they in autostretch?

[cinder bane]

they are stretched

[radiant flicker]

wish I had blurx

[cinder bane]

very nice edit

[radiant flicker]

Rate the stars

[cinder bane]

farkkkkkk hahah

yeah damn wtf they got some issues

are they that bad in the raw stack? thats weirdd

[radiant flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/my-beloved-my-beloved-my-beloved-recursion-heart-locket-open-infinite-love-gif-214555301530938137

[cinder bane]

but yeah blurx would fix that so eez

[radiant flicker]

eh yea just less saturation

[arctic sigil]

CA?

[radiant flicker]

yea

probs from the coma corrector

[arctic sigil]

oh yeaa

its glass makes sense

i was thinking how could a newt do CA? 😭

[cinder bane]

yeahhh i do want a new CC

i mean fark, mines pretty expensive, like $400 bruh, and its also giving me internal reflection issues when pointed at very bright stars

its the skywatcher f5 one

i expected better from it, not bad but not great

[radiant flicker]

It's cool data. Would be worth to get more and to see more of the outher regions.

[cinder bane]

yeah 100%

if nothing else comes up, ill image it until the sombrero galaxy is rising, then im switching to that

cos its my favv

@arctic sigil how are you going?

[arctic sigil]

btw what do u keep the stellar and non stellar sharpening strenght for this one?

[arctic sigil]

its denoising rn

[cinder bane]

def do decon before denoise

lemme check

i would recommend reducing nonstellar to 0.8 tbh

[arctic sigil]

aight perfect

[buoyant magnet]

What are we thinking chat?

[cinder bane]

It’s nice, lots of dust, but maybe not saturated enough and low contrast, and there’s no star colours

Core is verging on being to bright to maybe?

Overall it’s very decent though

@buoyant magnet

The existing colours are well balanced

[buoyant magnet]

cranked up star sat a little cause saturating the galaxy itself is a little tricky or I'm not good enough with Siril+GIMP yet

[lone brook]

0.8??

That's so high 😭

[arctic sigil]

omg bro i destroyed the starmask 💔

i was thinking abt prestretching it

now i cant undo

W

sidivis lowk goated at post processing

[buoyant magnet]

I think that's half of the hobby

[shy goblet]

I look at it here and it feels under saturated.... annoying

[buoyant magnet]

your bg is a little green

[shy goblet]

And green. Looks nothing like it does on my PC.

[dense parcel]

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

[dense parcel]

@cinder bane Man this data is crazy

u planing to get more int?

lil zoom in

i think i'mma cry

this is just magic level data

u gotta gimme this spell u used on your telescope

[cinder bane]

0.7-0.8 for this is fineee

Other objects 0.85 is fine too

[cinder bane]

Hahaha thank you

[cinder bane]

Just gotta dial ur shiz in 🫡

[cinder bane]

This is a really nice edit though

I’d say it’s the best out of anyone else that has done it

[dense parcel]

i used 0.2 brotha

lol

[dense parcel]

yayy! i'll prob process again later i had so much fun processing this

[cinder bane]

Woah, yeah that’s not enough you can be way more aggressive with it

If you want to that is

[dense parcel]

well i did use cosmic clarity, and i think its a bit more agressive

with 0.2 i got a very good result

[cinder bane]

Ahhh yeah cosmic clarity will give different results

Do you have a less compressed version? The one sent seems compressed and not clear

I’m sure it is clearer than what I’m seeing

[dense parcel]

hmmm i dont

i did take the pgn out on siriL cuz of cosmic clarity and for obvious reasons i am better at siriL so i did some final touches

next time i'll do the final touches and the get the png on pix

[dense parcel]

yeah the image really is very clean and sharp when on my screen so definitely either discord compression or siriL's

[dense parcel]

reprocessing rn

[dense parcel]

could these 2 clumps be ejection jets from centaurus A? @cinder bane

[dense parcel]

tried hard to push these jets out

the galaxy looks wonderful to me and these jets just add so much, i love it

i really liked it but i didnt quite like the contrast in between the galaxy and the jets, but if it didnt exist the core would be blown ig

This dataset has just so much to show

like look at this tinyini galaxy

[radiant flicker]

Too much clarity in the middle or weird masking but that dark ring in the middle should not exist I think xD

[dense parcel]

ik man its an artefact that i created to pull these jets

if not the core would be blown

i'm still improoving ig

[cinder bane]

@fallow flame have a look through these edits

[steady saddle]

Not ashen but i think they are when you compare to this one

[buoyant magnet]

you could see hints of them in my edit

[dense parcel]

Yeah these are defnetly the same jets, just bnot the ha one ig

[dense parcel]

hmm yeah fr but i really trid to get those out lol

[buoyant magnet]

I was doubting my BGE skills before seeing Limepies example lmao

[dense parcel]

lol

yeah u can easily wrongly get then out of the pic

but graxpert kinda saved me

[cinder bane]

sending to myself

this data lowkey ahhh

AD got me hard

ill do another process, if i can get it good, ill post it

badunkie?

why did you just spam this guy

oh nvm i see lol

Hows it going?

[lament trellis]

reinstalling gaia

hopping on rocket league

[cinder bane]

Oh lol

[glossy zephyr]

oh yeah thats mine i did that on my phone

[glossy zephyr]

my edit

[dense parcel]

IS THIS FR?

NEW DATA?

[dense parcel]

hmm seens fair

[cinder bane]

Do you want it

It’s kinda bad but I’d be curious to see another process

[dense parcel]

IS THAT A REAL QUESTION?

YES

[cinder bane]

Hahahahaha alright king one sec

[dense parcel]

Yayyy

[cinder bane]

the data is iffy

AD/CC issues i think

im gonna reprocess cos mine was reaaally bad but good luck lol

[dense parcel]

Whats that?

[cinder bane]

atmospheric dispersion and coma corrector issues

[dense parcel]

aaah

yeah bad

[cinder bane]

Still usable sorts but yeah

I’ll get more data, add the dust and use the stars from the new data

[dense parcel]

were the stars supossed to be bad?

[cinder bane]

Why would I make them bad on purpose 😂

[dense parcel]

No like whats supossed to change cuz of ad or bad coma?

bad stars and low res?

[cinder bane]

Res is the same, sorta, might be a bit blurrier, but the stars have a red and blue fringe

[dense parcel]

ahh ok

Yeah well if ur saying that the data is bad cuz of that i may reconsider my life choices

[cinder bane]

What’s ur data like lol

[dense parcel]

Hmmm like crhomatic aberration every pixel and t shaped stars?

not joking abt the T shaped stars

[cinder bane]

[dense parcel]

Just now i see the red and blue

man this aint even noticeable

@cinder bane THIS DATA IS JUST TOO GOOOD

I think i might like ur datas man

[cinder bane]

Bahahahah I’m glad you think so

Ahahhaha damn thank you! It means a lot.

Hey if there’s every anything you want imaged lmk, I’m happy to let you get data off the scope if you want

[cinder bane]

Nice edit

Very clean

It is mirrored tho I think, unless I accidentally mirrored mine lol

[dense parcel]

I preffer taking data my self but i'll let u know, i like how ur datas get out usually

[cinder bane]

Fair enough!

[dense parcel]

idk how this galaxy is oriented so i just got it the way i liked the most lol

[cinder bane]

Ahahha alr

Hey it’s space orientation doesn’t matter

[dense parcel]

Fr

[dense parcel]

thats pretty good

[blazing wagon]

This is why I want a newt

[cinder bane]

This is really nice

Stars are maybe a little funky but eh they were hard to deal with in the first place

[lament trellis]

shit and shitter

@cinder bane

[cinder bane]

It’s not bad

I prefer the stars one

Saturate the starless and you’ll be onto something

[cinder bane]

In general pretty good though

[lament trellis]

um they both are stars

[cinder bane]

the one that hasnt been reduced u knob

[lament trellis]

You’re the knob Brudda starless means no stars and stars means only stars so you are kinda just wrong

[plain ermine]

Stars not staring

[steady saddle]

@cinder bane no bx used because this data doesnt need it

[lament trellis]

https://tenor.com/view/glaze-gif-8311813170669205912

[plain ermine]

wait but where can i get the data

this is updated like a couple of months ago

[steady saddle]

the google drive link is up to date

[cinder bane]

This is updated frequently

It is edited

Also it wasn’t sent a couple of months ago, it was sent in 2024

[dense parcel]

fr lol

just 24 months bruh

[plain ermine]

so it is or not?

[plain ermine]

yeah lol but some of them are in like late 2025

[cinder bane]

It was updated like 2 weeks ago…

[plain ermine]

wait wha

oh yeah... you are right

i saw the 12 March and just skipped it

[cinder bane]

[lucid tapir]

Awesome data. May I ask what your drizzle settings were?

[cinder bane]

Thanks!

1x drizzle, 1.5 varshape 0.8 dropshrink

Why?

[lucid tapir]

because the present noise pattern is quite nice

[potent brook]

Awesome data

[cinder bane]

Thanks! Nice

[cinder bane]

Very clean

Actually might be a bit noisey? It’s compressed so hard to tell

[dense parcel]

Ashen, do u have an Ha filter? cuz if u have i think u really should add some Ha to this data. It can give some incredible details, and mb even the Ha-Oiii Jets

[dense parcel]

Idk abt Oiii but i think Ha would be a great add for this data

[plain ermine]

that would do a difference i think

[dense parcel]

yeah but ha is needed

[edgy summit]

😭

[brazen plaza]

don't cry

its ok

[dense parcel]

bruh

[edgy summit]

🙂

[arctic sigil]

dont cry 😊

one day

it will finally be guided

[dense parcel]

lol fr man
