Image Inserts In PixInsight: Using AstroMark Signature Adder
This is truly innovative. Thank you very much sir for what you are doing. Where can I make a donation?
Thanks, Frank for this well-thought-out approach to doing mosaics. I do mosaics fairly often but I process them in Astro Pixel Processor. It gives better results for mosaics with zero effort as compared to PI, in my opinion. However, I really like how mosaics turned out in your video. I use quite a few of your processes instead of PI so this is a welcome addition to SAS.
Have you had any issues with Dnalinearfit chrasing 1.9.2 pixinsight?
Honestly havent ran it in tge latest PI yet
Yep just amazing Frank !!!
I’m speechless.
You're just amazing Frank. Thank you.
Will you get better results in you just do the mosiac bit by bit or add all the images at once?
It adds them bit by bit in the program. So you really arent getting more out of it if you manually do it
Wow, what a great addition. It makes me look forward to doing mosaics!
Incredible work, Frank! It's funny that Siril has been teasing their mosaic stitching for months and here you come out with an easy solution. I'm thinking about how I can use this feature for Seestar and Dwarf mosaics. They're not your normal stitching job. I have a way to do it in PI but it's cumbersome and also a way to do it in Sirl but it won't be possible until the next version is released. Fun stuff. Kudos and keep it up!
It doesn't seem to work on RGB FITS from one-shot-color cameras. I get a washed out white rectangle as mosaic result when I try to combine 2 frames. Also seems to use only 1 CPU thread.
It shouldnt wash out any colors. Will have to look at that if you got two osc images i can try. And like most things yes it only uses a single thread. I dont have enough knowledge to male multi threades things
Just in time for me as I'm starting to plan a mosaic of Rho Ophiuchi. :)
Was so happy to see this video because iam always struggling with mosiac. Tried it immediately. But unfortunately no luck . My pictures are aligned really weird. Iam sure I miss a thing. I do more than 20% overlap. When I stretch the image a lot it works
Did you make sure to blind solve first? I am also adding more failsafes to make sure it doesnt align them weird
Must be how your image is too if stretch it a lot work becuase the first thing the program does is unstretch it, so there most be something with your star size or shape. What is your acquosition detail?
@@setiv2 I try a 4 panel from the orion nebula. He stitch them upside-down together. These where 4 stacks from siril
great video!! where can I download this script? thanks
The PI script needs my repository link found on my webpage. www.setiastro.com/pjsr-scripts
Looks like yet another wonderful tool!
My biggest problem with mosaics is the capturing part. How do you arrange the mosaic to get the right Ra/Dec coordinates and rotation?
I use SGPro as my acquisition software. NINA can do mosaic shooting too
how do you stretch the image?
Like for the autostretch for the oreview in blink?
@@setiv2 yeah i tried using the blink comparitor and all my images were black
When I apply denoise for the second time (what you do at 15:35) it always crashes the app. I can't get past this step. Even when reloading Seti, open my project back up (I save after every step) it crashes at denoise every time.
@@Astra_Obscura hmmm try just saving slot0 as a tiff and reopenong the file. Maybe something is wrong witb the pathname or something. That should give it a fresh look
@ I’ll give that a try. Could it be a CPU issue? Mine is a bit dated. Everything up until now ran fine though, just railing my cpu at times.
@Astra_Obscura it shouldnt be. I will try and recreate the crash too. I am sure it is something
@ I’m curious if it has anything to do with the fact I loaded my fits file off of my NAS. I’ll have to try moving everything locally first.
It's insane how complete your Suite is becoming. Pretty soon there will be no need for PixInsight!
You're doing a heck of a job creating a very compelling astro editing suite!
Would this work with SeeStar mosaics? There would be hundreds of fits files
Yuck, why would there be hundreds? Arent you stacking them???
@@setiv2 the seestar does auto stack its mosaics, but most users like to manually stack the fits files in siril or PI. was just wondering if this new function could handle that many files
Where is this man's patreon link? :)
Patreon too much to keep up with. You can always send a donation or become a channel member if you are in a position to support :)
awesome, this looks great. haven’t been able to do any imaging for the past few months, however this might be the kick i need to download SAS since this doesn’t look like something that’ll be easy to implement into a Pixinsight script
Thank you! ❤
Thanks
Thank you so much!
Have never attempted a mosaic purely due to how complicated it appears to be, however this looks easy, can't wait to try it!!
Been a Siril user for years, and have lots of mosaic data ive never been able to assemble. Very interested in trying this. Having a linux version as well is a big plus!
Amazing Frank! This is going to be fun! Pleiades gets into reach now what a project that will be! I need 8 tiles 😅 Started on it small scale but gave up on it because of the complexity 😅 But man I love a challenge! Thank you sir! 😊
Amazing additions, thank you very much Frank :)
Could you not have made it eaier to stitch mosaics. as it is I need an astronomy api key, which needs a web site which needs a domain name, non of which I have or intend to have
Opened SAS today and it told me there was an update and this is what I found! Thank you. Is there a way of using this for Lunar & Solar???
Not really no. Those require matching similar features and unfortubately the best for the PTGui is pricey
@@setiv2 No worries, thanks for replying.
amazing! you bring each week some very cool features into the Suite. I was waiting for mosaic to be implemented in Siril, but now I don't need to, cool! Can you please tell us, exactly the workflow for OSC or OSC+NB images. Is it: you make the stacks of the individual areas of the mosaic (in case of NB the individual H3, OIII, S stacks), make background extraction and then you make the mosaic, and after then you make the sharpening, denoise, curves, etc.?
The Image Solver in PI allows higher order polynomials to account for distortion. Are those save in the FITS header when saved and used in Mosaic Master?
Those higher order distortion corrections are not in the fits header and only translatable in PI, so they are unuasable outside of PI
So awesome thank you! I’ve been playing with it today and should be noted that astrometry does not accept tiff files, which is what I get as an output from deep sky stacker changed it to Fitz files and it won’t accept those either so I’m not sure exactly how to do my flow. When I use just my single exposure fits files it works great, but I need to figure out how to stack it.
It does accept tiff, but like i said you cant save the header data on a tiff. You can always just open a tiff on SAS and save it as a .fit too
@ may e my files were too big and the upload was timing out
Well I gotta say I'm amazed at what you're doing for the astro community always fancied doing a mosaic but it's never been an easy process but looks like this is going to be a game changer.
Another great addition Frank, not something I would use a lot as I don't get that many clear skies where I am. Well done 👏
Thank you so much for this! An elegant solution to a persistent pesky problem!
Amazing job. Thank you again. I’ve not tried any mosaics yet. My field of view is a bit on the narrow side for some of the larger DSOs. I was wondering if it is preferable to have individual images with similar or the same fields of views, or will the images be stretched, or shrunk to match. Thanks again.
Similar. Usually you would take it all with the same rig. A few hours at position one, another at position 2, etc
@ got it. Thank you.
nice as always
liking the looks of this one. Thanks for yet another great tool
Amazing work done, this is not easy, even not option available that simple in Pixinsight.
Wow, pretty amazing!!! Say I'm doing a 2 x 2 or a 3 x 3 mosaic. What order should the files be added?
You want to add them to there is overlap from the next image with the previous part of the mosaic, otherwise it eont have any stars to align. So any order that keeps the new one touching the growing moasic from yhe old ones
Great stuff! What process would you recommend for narrowband data? Do individual filters or combined images?
Combine the same filter into a single image. Then treat the mosaic of each filter as a master image. It is much easier to get the color balance that way. If you do individual sho image to make up the mosaic it nevwr has turned out well for me
@@setiv2 Thanks!
cant wait to try it out. Thanks
Wonderful, thank you 👍
I’m working on a mosaic right now and this is going to help me so much
I LOVE YOU THIS IS AMAZING

Any reason why my processing keeps closing unexpectedly while playing with the curves utility? I'm alt tabbing back and forth between this video and my processing and it's just gone. No message or anything. V2.10.2 QT6
Someone else sad hitting the keyboard keys when thevare adjust curves closes SAS. Something i am looking into. So when you are alt tabbing there is some error and it is closing because uou pressed a key while adjusting curves
@setiv2 No visible error. It's just gone.
@timothymaurer6720 i fixed it this morning. Get v2.10.3
Do you have a cashapp or a place on your website where I could donate money. Greatly appreciate your time and effort and not requiring a paywall.

...i am just trying this workflow. I am in sharpen/Denoise but when i click fit to preview it goes 1:1. Also when trying to use 'curves' the graph on the left does not work no matter where i click (i realise i may be doing something wrong). The screen (lower left) says, 'no file selected' even though the image i have just 'starlessed' is the only one on screen and in slot 0. The 'Curves Utility' window just does not interact no matter where i click on the graph nor whichever option (K, R,G,B etc) i select. I am just trying to give some feedback and maybe get some help too. 8)
