Congratulations Sascha! You really helped the astrophotography community to achieve more.
After updating window 11 my Access Point on the Eagle X screen there is a yellow Triangle and I cant see the AP IP number any ideas? thanks
I would contact the PLL support - they are usually very helpful!
@@viewintospace Figured it out, if you make a password for the AP under Advance settings don't use a 4 dig number once I changed it to a letter combination it took the Triangle away and showed the IP address correctly. If anyone else has this issue hope this helps.
LMAO on your comments on the Flux Capacitor and Back to the future. Nice video as always.
Feliz Navidad amigo. Gran video.
Gracias! 😊
Thanks for this Sascha! Just as an update, this also works on the current versions. I'm using a M1 Mac with PI Core 1.9.2 Lockhart and the newest release of Starnet2. The same file installation to the framework folder is required.
Your content is not only professional but accurate. Your explanations are logical and easy to follow. I enjoy the humour too. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your new PixInsight videos. Clear skies!
Huge congrats, Sascha! So deserved. Thank you for everything!
How did you load an image into the app running on a Mac?
Runs only on iOS device, sorry.
@@TomHarnish He says he is running it on a Mac. The app does run on an M processor Mac, but I cannot figure out how to load an image.
@@robertmark1732 " I tried it on my iPad worked like a charm, now this is actually my Mac Mini emulating iOS." I didn't know there was an iOS emulator!
On an M-chip Mac you can run almost any iPad/iPhone App natively
@@viewintospace Yes, but I cannot figure out how to load an image. It tells me that is no library.
Just read some comments, I am tired of Stellarium and its constant crashes with telescope control. the newest version has abandoned ASCOM.
Hi, Watching this now, I am about to buy this for $65. Is it still worth it and is it updated and supported? I plan on using to control my mounts. Thanks
There are definitely better and cheaper solutions to control your scope. This software it aimed at people who study Astronomy or are interested in the science. The software is updated in a way that it works with present OS, but there were no new features added since the video which is not a good sign….
Thanks for this excellent in-depth explanation and partial workflow example, it's taught me a lot!👍
Congratulations Sascha. Thank you for what you do.
Great observations. As an Early Access Beta your comments are exactly what we're looking for. The elves will go back to work on gradient!
Sascha, the developer also has a StarEdit App for $2 that does Star removal and add them back. I'm gonna get them both and give them a try. Definitely has the possibilities of making it easy to show and get others going in Astrophotography. You can also do "camp fire horror" stores by telling them what they have to look forward to with Pixinsight! 🤣
Thank you for this video. Just got the 2600MCDuo and was absolutely losing my mind on how to attach it to the filter wheel. Interestingly enough not a lot of data out there that you have to connect the 2600 this way or how to do it
🫡👏👏👏👏 Gave a great 2025...
Congratulations, Sascha!!!
Congratulations and thanks for all the great content! I'm looking forward to next year.
Congrats, your videos have helped me understand how to astro process using Pixinsight. Thanks again.
That's awesome to hear! Glad the videos are helpful 🙂
Happy to be one of them Sascha!
Congratulations and thank you for you videos and the quality of your work Happy new year
Well done Sascha.. the quality of your work, content, and knowledge is reflected in achieving 20K :-) now for the next milestone......
Wow! 🎉 that’s wild man! Congratulations!!
Congratulations Sascha. Thank you
congratulations on your 20000 that's quite an accomplishment.
Thanks for all your video's. Happy new year. CS
Happy new year to you too! 🎉
Thanks for the video. Always very useful. Interesting about the Mac version still not supporting Apple silicon but then they say it might not work on anything older than MacOs14! New gradient tool looks good though. I wonder if it will mean an end to taking flats? It handled the vignetting very well. Perhaps it will remove dust bunny artifacts too? Hope you had a great Christmas and best wishes for 2025. Clear skies.
Thanks for a great video, hope you had a great xmas and wishing you a happy new year!
Aren't you supposed to put a light sealing gasket between the wheel and the camera?
Yes, you are supposed.... I forgot this in the video... 🫣
At what point of your steps you use this? mine failed:"Error: No stars found (channel 0)"? <* failed *>
Do you have an idea how to use MARS with L-Extreme OSC data? Would be nice if someone figured it out. :/ I know DBXtract will be required, but I've no idea how to go about this.
Merry Xmas Sascha. Have a good one! Clear skies.
grazie, spiegazione molto semplice!!
Pixinsight is the first application software I ever bought, because I can use it on my faithful Linux PC :)
Thank You ❤
Really helpful video Sascha - I just wanted to get going quickly on Mars and this was just what I wanted. I had no trouble updating to 1.9 on my M2 mini either. It's a Flux Capacitor by the way! Merry Xmas!
Another really helpful and timely video Sasha, thanks and have a great Christmas. See you in the New Year!
Thank you for keep updating us and this nice video again. Wish you merry Chrismas and all the best
Very informative and timely video. Any guess on how long it is going to take for the rest of the Mars data to be collected. I am guessing years. Maybe by then they will support the native Mac silicon. They really have limited testing on the Mac also.
im using Linux Mint and wow twice the speed. Anyone else get Alien faces on there icons that now no longer works. lol
2 Question's once you get your Eagle5 is there a way to register your Eagle with PrimaLuceLab's for warranty Coverage? And other Question is should we let windows 11 do updates on the Eagle5? I did a backup of the SSD prior to installing any drivers or software.
First question I have no clue as I got the Eagle directly from PLL... Second question if your Eagle already comes with Windows 11 installed, then it's fine to let Windows run the updates. The only thing I would not do if migrate an Eagle from Win 10 to Win 11.
I've just tried to use this tool, but it seems the XMARS database covers very little of the sky so far. So it's not all that useful.
I think depends where you live. On the Northern side it covers quite some parts, but yes, this tool will definitely get better with time!!!
Beware, there is aa processor hardware requirement at the bottom of the Release info page. It will not run on my computer but doesn't perform a hardware check and appeared to install but will not open after installed. Had to then uninstall and revert back to Ripley. Repositories are intact, but do have to reinstall all. Here is the requirement: Since version 1.9.0, PixInsight requires an x64 processor with AVX2 and FMA3 instruction support on Linux and Windows. Unfortunately, this requirement breaks compatibility with hardware using Intel processors released before 2013 and AMD processors older than 2015, approximately.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Sacha with a lot of CS. Here in the flat country of Switzerland we were definitely not spoiled in the past. :( Many thanks for your always interesting videos with your straight forward explanations. Gruss Thomas
Thanks!!! And yes, this year was as miserable as it gets when it comes to CS - lets hope 2025 will be better!!!!
Servus, ich habe seit geraumer Zeit das CPC800 und die Wedge, habe aber nie Erfolg beim PA gehabt. Spätestens beim Alignment mit der Wedge habe ich die Sterne nicht mehr zentrieren können, da ich nicht mehr weiter an den Achsen drehen konnte. Ich überlege, entweder zu deforken oder den Kram zu verkaufen. Du sagst, es sei leicht zu alignen, was mache ich dann falsch? Entsprechende Routinen an meinem NEQ6 sind tatsächlich schnell vollzogen. Nur das Celestron will da nicht. Kannst Du mir Tipps geben?
Gand ehrlich gesagt. mit allem was ich inzwischen weiss, wenn Du kannst, verkauf das Ding und kauf Dir ein C8 HD OTC dafür (meiner Erfahrung nach will das Ding aber niemand...) und sonst defork es. Du sparst Dir damit sehr viele Nerven! Hier das video dem ich folgen werde für das deforken: ua-cam.com/video/uLk_lnpJAV4/v-deo.htmlsi=fO1uJg_SxP2Dpojp
@@viewintospacedanke für die ehrliche Antwort. Ich tät es gerne besser verstehen. Können wir einen Teams/ Zoom Call machen?
Merry Christmas Sascha
Probably need to include what happens if you try the MARs approach on an object not yet in the data base - rather than a helpful descriptive message that tells you this you get an error message about no reference data on your red filter...
On my MacBook Pro, do I need to first completely delete the PI app as well as the hidden folder "core-001-pxi.settings" before installing the new version?
No, only the PI folder in application. Leave the hidden settings folder, it ensures that everything is installed again as before with the new version
Excellent video. Thanks! I installed 1.9 today and it was the easiest upgrade ever - all my packages survived 😊 Can’t wait to try the new multiscale gradient removal. Thanks for pointing out that we need to install the two XMARS files (I must have missed that from Juan’s announcement). The image sync feature is nice 😊
Many thanks, Sascha. You saved me hours of banging my head against the wall. Made it through the whole process (installation, configuration, and processing an image in one day. But still, lots to learn!
