Atlanta Aurora timelapse - 2024.05.10
Wasn't expecting much with the last night's geomagnetic storm, but seeing the aurora come in on the camera was definitely an "oh shit" moment for me and my wife, especially when it got overexposed. The initial burst in the gif was very noticeable to the naked eye, despite our light pollution. Sadly it died down a bunch, but seems to have come back (although not as strong) after 3am (video timestamp is in UTC). Tonight definitely wont be as strong, but I'm hoping the camera might pick something up on another timelapse. Captured on May 10th, 2024 from Atlanta, GA

Eclipse of Telstar Geostationary Satellites
มุมมอง 913 ปีที่แล้ว
This eclipse occurred on the night of April 6th, 2021 (timestamps in EDT). For a few weeks before and after the spring and fall equinoxes, geostationary satellites will pass into the Earth's shadow for a short period of time each night. This timelapse is a continuous loop of 30 second exposures, shot with a 6" f/4 newtonian, ASI1600, and Lum filter from my Bortle 6 driveway. Despite having an O...

Nicholas, I know you are busy, but your son must eat. It has now been almost 4 days since his food timer last went off.
Nicholas please feen your son, he is starving and cannot comprehend that his food timer goes off every 12 hours.
PERFECT! Short, sweet, to the point, no wasted time. Thank you very much, sir.
STELLARIUM is useless I can't get to solar system editor because the screen resolution runs out and I can find how to adjust it. dum stupid poindexters that design this
Beautiful!
I was looking for a backyard telescope timelapse to show my friends what I mean by running automated and your video hit the spot. Great work.
did I miss something? Did you skip how you delinearize?
Lovely, not only did I enjoy the "no idea what the fuck it means" but also followed it step by step for my Stack of M-3. You rule dude!
Does this work for planetary???
Thank You. Its Very Helpfull.
I just took a deep dive into your photo gallery and I am truly amazed at what you’ve captured! The acquisition, combination, processing, framing, and all else must have taken some serious effort and determination to get to that level. I am quite new to astrophotography, and while I think I am learning quickly, I have a long road ahead. This has given me a much needed boost of motivation to keep on going. Keep up the great content!
Can this SHO tutorial be used for RGB data? All I have is a One Shot Color Camera.
This was the most helpful, clear, and intelligible Pixinsight intro I could have had. You helped me learn SO MUCH in 30 minutes. Thank you!!!😀
Tip: I tried it out with Asteroid 84342 (rubensdeaze) but it didnt appeared on the "Search". In the Search Window I went to List instead and then Asteroids in the Scroll down menu and the search from there.
Fantastic video Lefty! I followed through using my image of Sh2-171 captured with my QHY268M and the result is superb. Thank you for taking the time to make this easy to follow video :)
Very funny, enjoyed the narration here and the obvious style of who were talking about 😂
Look at this show-off makin us all so green👽with envy..lol...jk dude✌
Thank you so much for this. Great pace and well explained without getting bogged down into detail.
This is wonderful thank you! How do you make use of the .xosm file that you link to? I downloaded the file but not sure how to open the example PixelMath expressions in Pixinsight...
Nevermind I figured it out. Thanks again!
I need to find how to use EZ Decon with Starnet2 (Starnet++ is nowhere to be found). I get those horrible rings you mention.
You'll want to run starnet 2 first to make a star mask. Then hit undo on your image, and import the raw star mask under the masking tab in EZ decon, and tweak it using the tools within the script. For mine I'll usually just do STF > convolve > dilate > boost, but your star masks may need different ordered/additional tweaking
@@leftysastrophotography yup, that's what I've been doing, but the star rings are terrible. Even ignoring them I'm not seeing what decon is doing. So I've been skipping that step. But oh man you've turned around my imaging... Thank you
This is one of the best process videos! I know there are a lot out there, but video just made sense to me. Thanks Lefty!
Fantastic tutorial. Many thanks.
Great video and cant wait to try it. One of the best tutorials i have seen. Thank you.
What about linear fit of Ha, SII and OIII before integration ?
I guess that since the channels are combined while non linear, it's the Screen Transfer Function that does the job
this is fantastic! Thanks so much! So you don't run EZ Denoise on the other channels then? Only the one you are going to use as luminance. Why is that?
I just want to say that none of this will be considered in our home search journey 🥰
my 13th reason
I sure hope the walls are not shiny black, but a matte black
i think you should
I came so fucking hard at 2:22
Great tutorial, thank you.
Just came across this gem today as I was specifically searching for a tutorial on Pixinsight clusters (for M36). What a great find!! Thank you!
Hi can you share some of your scripts that you showed like the star mask script, where do you find the scripts?
Awesome guide to pixinsight. I was able to make an amazing image following this on my very first narrowband project!
Thank you for your help!!
Why don't you have more subs. On the strength of this video alone, you're a fantastic teacher of the dark arts. Thanks very much for this!
Right good, sir! I've been working on my SHO processing and your video is very helpful. I know most of what you are using, but I definitely learned some cool new tricks. Thanks for the video. Signed: New subscriber.
This is exactly the video I was looking for to help me with SHO color adjustment. Fantastic work here and very helpful video. Thanks!
awesome tutorial! thanks!
Beautiful picture! A nice way to keep some green I think is to extract a luminance and put it on as an inverted (or maybe not inverted, don’t remember) mask and the SCNR it. It keeps the green more in some places but removes it in others. I quite like it, because you can get the “rainbow effect” without adding stuff that isn’t there! I only do it on star exterminated pictures though. I haven’t tried it on a picture with stars!
New to PI - would this guide be suitable for any LRGB data such as for the M42 nebula?
For the most part, yes. You'll probably want to do some L deconvolution prior to linear noise reduction, and try fiddling with additional nonlinear processes (local histogram equalization, HDR multiscale transform, more curves, etc)
@@leftysastrophotography Thank you for the advice, really appreciate the time you have taken for these videos. Cheers.
So well done. One of the best walkthroughs on mono application!
Really nice tutorial, thank you for showing all your steps. And great image! I'm going to have to try out the EZ Suite one of these days!
Thank you so much for this, having imaged 2-3 years with a OSC and just starting on my mono journey, this has helped me incredibly well.
Excellent video. A help in the min 21:00 of the video, if you drag the identifier of the image on the left over the identifier of the right image you will get the same zoom in both images so that you can compare them.
Wow! I had to rewind three times.
Excellent Pixinsight tutorial video Lefty! I really like the FORAXX combination and tried it out - it really added to the Pacman nebula (NGC 281) project I'm currently working on. You've got a new subscriber ! Clear skies
Do you do Decon and NR on your other channels or just the Ha which you also use as Luminance?
I do if i use a synthetic luminance by combining all the filters, but otherwise just Ha if it's the only one used for lum
