    Note that SLS does NOT work with TIF files generated from Capture One. SLS just returns with a black frame. In order for it to work, one must first laod all of the C1 generated TIFs into Photoshop and then perform the Save As function. These files then work fine in SLS.

    Another well done video Ian. In guided astrophotography, dithering further reduces noise significantly but it needs to be more than the amount the sky moves between frames and in all directions. That would make a great project for a steeper motor and an arduino-the static dithermatic hmmm

    For the land you could also stack multiple images in photoshop to reduce noise to get a super clean image. Just import multiple images as layers, select all and make a smart object. Then go to Layer > Smart Objects> then select Mean or Median.

    • @jefferycampbell2243
      @jefferycampbell2243 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Starry Landscape Stacker already does what you are suggesting. It stacks the land using a median filter. The "mask" defines which parts of the image need to be aligned before stacking.

      Yes, do your lens corrections first. Most of the time i prefer the correction ON as it flattens the bubble out of my 14mm Samyang/Rockinon, but there is no rule, it's personal taste to your composition.

    • @SteveMillerhuntingforfood
      @SteveMillerhuntingforfood 5 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @JMLPhoto
    @JMLPhoto 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great tutorial. I do have one question if you don't mind. In the video, you used 19 images to create the composite image...is there a particular number that you find works best or does it depend on the brightness of the moon and/or light pollution? Thanks for sharing this tip, BTW.

    • @LonelySpeck
      @LonelySpeck  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Typically, I try to shoot at least 16 separate exposures. That's a good balance between noise reduction and shooting time.

      Raiatea Arcuri It's damn good at it. As long as you do a decent job of making sure stars are recognized (add red dots) it will usually find the outline of a tree nicely. of course, some small corrections might be needed.

  • @josephbryant8790
    @josephbryant8790 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for all the great content! Can i ask you about your exposure choice in this situation and why you decided to push the ISO up instead of a longer exposure that the focal length you were using would allow? In particular considering your recommendations in previous videos to ETTR.
    Again, thanks for your excellent content, you have gotten me out shooting the nights sky so much more often now!!

    • @LonelySpeck
      @LonelySpeck  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Joseph Bryant I was using about the limit for exposure time that the focal length would allow before there would be star trails so there was no margin for extending shutter time. I used ISO 12800 because that tends to be the cleanest when using PP7 mode on my a7S, which is helpful for astro because it has a very bright live view. Lower ISOs in this mode appear just a little less clean versus 12800. Every camera is different in this regard.

    • @LonelySpeck
      @LonelySpeck  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also, ETTR is particularly helpful when we have lots of light (like heavy light pollution or during daytime but doesn't really apply in the same way when we're already light limited, like in this case. Hope that helps.

    • @josephbryant8790
      @josephbryant8790 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      It does help! and thanks for the prompt reply! And to be fair to you the ETTR video I watched did talk about heavy light pollution, so it's good to have a firm understanding of that now, thanks for the reminder!! For the exposure time I was thinking your camera was full frame and 18mm so would allow much longer than a 15 second exposure using the "500 rule". Does stacking usually require a shorter exposure time for better results?

    • @josephbryant8790
      @josephbryant8790 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry I'm sure the is a frustrating and regularly questioned methodology. But thanks for you time and patience anyway.

    • @LonelySpeck
      @LonelySpeck  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Joseph Bryant Ultimately, in anything photography related, rules are made to be broken. The 500 rule is a great guideline to start with. But other factors (like the resolution of your camera, or where in the sky you are pointing) will affect the amount of star trailing so it's not ever a firm rule. I always start with the 500 rule if I'm not sure, and then adjust accordingly. I wanted to try to minimize the star trails quite a bit for this photo and stacking g essentially gave me more margin on the shutter time. Because I was planning to reduce noise with stacking, I could afford to gather a little less light per exposure so my stars would be closer to pinpoints. On further inspection, I may even wish I shot shorter, maybe 8-10 seconds for even more sharpness in the stars.

  • @toms206
    @toms206 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Brilliant video. As SLS saves the sky for you may I ask why not just refocus and shoot the foreground at say ISO 400 over 8-10mins then blend that in? Would that not work? Your final image is amazing and I’m a big fan of SLS.

    • @LonelySpeck
      @LonelySpeck  7 ปีที่แล้ว

    @smoothlennie 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Will Starry Landscape Stacker work to produce a vertical pano composite with 1-2 of the lower images having foreground features such as trees? I tried it out with 5-6 such shots and could not get a stable sky/land mask, with the first 2 shots with ground features 'mapping' their ground masks into later images that were just stars.

    What about shooting a base ISO foreground and blend them? That's what I'd do. Your noise reduction techniques work great (and thanks A LOT for sharing them), but the landscape is still too soft. (For my taste at least.)

    • @danneukirch4486
      @danneukirch4486 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was wondering this too. I get so many hot pixels to clean up with longer exposures though. I wonder if a stack of several 2 or so min exposures might be a good balance between both techniques? Would be interesting to see the results of the stack method in the video vs one very long base iso exposure vs something in between. I might try it next time I'm out and have the time for it.

  • @sigmaoctantis_nz
    @sigmaoctantis_nz 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'd rather increase the resolution of my astro shots by stitching than decrease noise from single shots like that. You don't see noise at higher resolutions and you get more detail than these soft results. Win-win.

  • @00_Ryan_00
    @00_Ryan_00 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Curious thought as I'm sitting at my office desk, can you median stack multiple instances of the same RAW file? Example...create 8 virtual copies in LR of the same RAW file and then export to PS as layers. Will it actually reduce noise, or does every file need a little variation to actually reduce noise?

    • @LonelySpeck
      @LonelySpeck  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ryan Luna No. Stacking only works because the noise profile changes between photos so you need to take many photos for the statistics filter to be able to remove the noise. Copying a single raw is like flipping a coin once on camera, it landing on heads and you saying it has a 100% chance of landing on heads because you can replay the video multiple time showing it landing on heads.

    • @LonelySpeck
      @LonelySpeck  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Similarly, the median value of a set of identical numbers is the same number. You'd get the same image.

      btw...you ever use the median stack technique for a panorama? I'm guessing you'd need about 100 pics. Probably easier to just use a star tracker and grab 8+ images.

    I ended up buying the Starry Sky and Starry Landscape bundle as the Google Drive Free Trial versions were corrupted.

    How many frames did you use to do this?

    • @LonelySpeck
      @LonelySpeck  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I used 19 frames but anywhere between 4 and 32 frames is adequate. The more, the better.

    Well astronomers routinely auto-stack hundreds of frames for very deep sky objects. For a PC look at RegiStax and PIPP

      nevadaxtube check out Sequator, it's not as good imo, but is available on pc.

    • @nevadaxtube
      @nevadaxtube 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly the same here, and it was pretty early on in the video since I googled the program right away..

    • @jakobschultz1663
      @jakobschultz1663 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nate88it yeah sequator works pretty well and it's free. But I only tested it with one stack of images so I can't really tell if it always works...

      not really a person that reads the description before watching my videos lol. I'll take ownership of this one but i really don't think many (majority) people read the description before the videos.

    • @godsstruggler8783

      I watched one for Sequator, not knowing it wasn't available for Mac until half way through the video - and so came here.
