Your images are second to none! Thanks for sharing them. I really enjoy your channel.

Great images Rich sadly I haven't done a lot of imaging this year hopefully I cn get more into it again next year.

Beautiful work. I really like the transitions and blends between slides as well as the floating effect of the stars in contrast to the sky of the single image. Very delicate. Software used for this slideshow?

Wow , that's a lot of DSO's ! So I guess you're done now ? Seen everything ? Gonna take up fishing or basket weaving ? LOL . May Santa bring you more clear skies for 2025 . Merry Christmas Rich !

The amazing thing is that these photos are much better than photos taken with the 200" Hale Telescope on Mount Palomar in the 1950s and 1960s. I remember the first shot of the Horsehead Nebula I saw from that observatory. I was amazed. Whatever I am now, its orders of magnitude more moved.

for real

Thanks for sharing Rich - those are fantastic ! This not only helps me plan for DSO's that I have not tried yet (or even knew about!), but also helps me gauge my progress in this hobby's journey. I have learned a lot from you in this past year and your videos have improved my images, so thank you !

Now I know what to aspire to for my astro pics! The bar is hi. Thanks for all the tutorials, Im learning a lot.

Two thumbs up!

Fantastic! Delighted with the results after following this. Excellent work

Simply stunning. Well done, Rich. 😎

Excellent collection! Thank you!

Great stuff 😍! The universe is a treasure chest 🤩!

Excellent work! What a great year of awesome projects!

couldnt find my starmask file and it ruined the whole 2 hour process :(

awesome 😍and thanks for your videos rich😇

Why is December the Mecca of stargazing…

so useful! thanks

Awesome! I didn't know there were so many nebulas just waiting to be imaged.

Thanks, beautiful work.

Nice pics. Nice presentation🙂

Thanks

Awesome pics in the collection !

Astounding and uplifting. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome, hope some day I may share a collection like yours

Outstanding! Now if only the clouds would clear out above my head....

Nice! You had a lot more clear skies than I did.

You definitely inspired me for a 2025 collection! I love this idea and with several pieces of new gear from Santa, I think I can do it!!

Well done. For sure you have got way more clear night than me. Lucky you are

Nicely done!

Beautifiul - just .. beautiful !

Brill, thanks

Awesome

thanks for this video

Tried this with my Siril 1.2.5 version but it immediately closes the program every time. I have starnet installed. Any ideas what is happening here? Thanks.

Thanks!

thanx a lot

Would be great to see an OSC with multiple duo band filters, multiple night tutorial !! SII/OIII , Ha/OIII , Luminance.

Another great how-to video. Would like to see a Ha, O3, S2 to Hubble palette with pixel math processing video in Siril. Thanks for all your videos.

Great video! I didn't know about the 'load files with pattern' option. It saves a lot of time! Now, one question: The master frame and bias master frame should be captured with filters, right? In this case, I can't use the 'set biases and darks master for the whole project' option. Am I missing something?

I set up and tear down. Can a master dark flat be created? I use NINA to create a dedicated Flat with each section. I also take dark flats. I understand why you can't have a master Flat but can you have a master Dark Flat?. If you can do you just use the create master bias script? My understanding is you don't check Bias Subtract when using dark flats as Sirilic subtracts Dark Flats from Flats automatically. Thanks

Wow! Brilliant demo. Thanks a lot, just what I needed.

Great video Rich, oh and Happy Xmas. Like you I shoot OSC. I do however have both a HaO3 and a S2O3 Narrowband filter. What I'm really struggling to do is combine the sessions from those two filters into a single image. I thought I might be able to do it with Sirilic as that supports both filter types. Nope! If I create a project with both S2O3 and HaO3 data its quite happy to create and load the files but it will not process. It does exactly nothing! Have you seen this before (its happy with either plus standard OSC). Best I've come up with so far is to us Sirilic to process the S2O3 data and use the individual fit files from the working directory to separate out the S2 and O2. I can use the standard Siril script to do the same for HaO3. Can then (attempt) to use pixelmath to combine all 4 fit files. Results however have been less than stella! Any ideas?

I don't agree. When images contain stretched stars and the nebula still look ok, well the nebula is not ok. I can tell you from experience where I have had nights of both stretched stars and good images a comparison of the nebula between the two reveals the nebula loses all fine details. There is no point fixing the stars if adding stretched nebula data makes your good nebula data worse. The stars are never my issue. For the stars I just take a hand full of the best and clearest shots and use them to make the star layer. I discard all nebula data from images with stretched stars. On any given night I lose 10%-80% of my images due to bad tracking or wind shake. Adding the nebula from these bad images has always made the final nebula in the image worse regardless of whether the stars have been fixed.

Great video! Sirilic has been a life saver in the past for me. Siril should make a plan to absorb the functionality of Sirilic into itself. I know it won't be easy but it would be way more user friendly imo.

Crying every time he's told "no" needs to be corrected soon!
