Fantastic video! Your review of the ZWO 585MC is very insightful and well-presented. I'm Evelyn from ZWO, and we're really impressed with your content. We'd love to explore potential collaboration opportunities with you. Could you please provide an email address where we can discuss this further? Looking forward to hearing from you!

oops...never mind my last comment about the EZ suite . I just read the poop about what happened with dark archon's interests in his scripts.

Hi great vids...i tried to copy and paste dark archon's link into my pixinsight program but it will not install??????

The devil is in the details - the longer the vid the more likely you are going to hit a bit that has snag me up...

I’d really like to see some very focused deep dive into a specific tool going for a particular result. This is not to say a long video by any means. For example, your demo of luminance extraction and applying blur on RGB with convolution on lum was golden. Cheers! Doug

First, skip the super basics (frame selection, Blink, WBPP). Just start with your master light(s). Do a quick process that is "good enough" for most and then show or redo what you might do differently to take it to the next level. Almost anyone can do the basic 15 min process, but what are the decision points and techniques for that next step? Masking parts of the image for more processing? HDRMT/MLT/LHE?

Both sounds like a good Plan to me 😊!!

A mix is the best ! THX

A mix and compare quick and easy versus long and more involved and then a critical evaluation of the results would be great. What more do you get with how much more effort and would it be a reasonable thing to do for each person’s time and talent.

Not exactly what you were asking. But I tend to image whenever I can. And it usually under less then favorable conditions. I would like some tricks or techniques dealing with issues. Like poor transparency images, Low integration, wrong filter choice. Moon gradients, Poor tracking(wind,seeing). Amateurs like myself would like to try to salvage what we get. :)

A mix of both would cover more bases from beginners to advanced.

I would like or know if you feel that completing processing in Affinity photo leads to better results than completing in Pixinsight. I have been playing with Affinity but I do not find it intuitive and it seems to me that I can get similar results in Pixinsight. A side by side comparison of each method on the same data would be interesting. Thanks and keep it simple……

Results coming in on Facebook Origin User groups look amazing.

There isn’t an am5 in stock for sale anywhere now. Not the original. Not the new model. Very frustrating they would cut off all supplies of this unit after announcing the new model without having any stock ready to go.

Nothing happens on my version. What, how toggle on/off? I don't see a progress bar? I know it's not feasible to pause for viewers to actually see where you're pointing, but everyone goes WAY too fast to catch what's being done. Help!

Greetings Chad. Thanks for the great video. I live in Zambia in the southern hemisphere. I have always pined after the Dark Shark Nebula and have always wanted to image it. Unfortunately, it never rises above the horizon in Lusaka, Zambia - so I was stumped 😠! Lo and behold, you came along and provided free data!! I downloaded the data and had a go at processing it. I used the usual Xterminator family of scripts, as well as the Seti Astro scripts. I am very pleased with the resulting image and have posted it on my Astrobin page (you are, of-course duly acknowledged for the source of the data!). Please advise if there is a southern hemisphere target that you cannot image in the north, that you’d like me to image and I will gladly do so, and donate the data for you to share on your platform. I hope you’ll take the trouble to have a look at my Astrobin image of the Shark Nebula and give me your thoughts. You are one-of-a-kind and your heart is in the right place and you are a very generous soul… Thanks 🙏🏿 and wishing you the very best. Keep well and continue your great UA-cam content !

Good idea! I'm a retired trucker. I remember seeing a car parked on side of NYS Thruway (I90E) about mm300 between Rochester and Syracuse. The family was sitting on the grass and apparently having a picknick?! But they had just passed mm310 and the Port Byron Service Plaza! When I see vehicles on the side of roads I immediate think and want to tell them....NOT A PARKING LOT!!!

Great video! Thanks a million as I always struggle to make dark nebulae pop out in my shots.

Good to know, Chad. Thank you - Patrick -

Strangely, DSS button does nothing on my PC when DSS red is selected. I have to select HIPS for anything to happen.

Super cool, thanks! Had no idea Stellarium did this. Mine doesn't show up as black/white, it shows up as color (I double-checked and yes it's the DSS Red channel) but it's all good.

This is soooooo cool 😎👍

Thanks!

And don't forget, if you don't see the DSS button (and I didn't have it), go to Config-->Extras and select it.

Are you really running Ver 1.0? = ) I checked on Ver 24.1 and I don't see the DSS surveys listed anymore. Do you know if there's a download that I need?

Is there a way to do this on the mobile version of the app?

I just put GSS on my mini PC for the first time. What a dream! Suddenly, almost everything I was struggling with in EQMOD vanished. No more fighting to get the mount to sync. No more the mount refusing to accept its location or date. It just does what it's supposed to do. But I can't figure out how to setup slew limits, and I can't find any documentation on it. Do you have any idea?

I use a Mele 3Q for NINA and have Stellarium but it runs sloooow. I’ll try it on my MacBook Pro. Thanks.

Great tip! I need to spend more time in Stellarium.

Kool tip dude. I was just poking around in Stellarium looking for a new target and was bummed (as usual) by the many missing details. Like the Blue but maybe Color more. Thanks for your hard work and keep it up!

My workflow is slightly different, you can run BlurX a 2nd time (or on a copy of your image), at all default values, to sharpen your non-stellar detail while still in linear state, and then remove the stars. You gain a lot of detail doing this step. Very nice image by the way, love broadband dark nebula targets.

FAME is awesome. Another home run!

Nicely done! I’m going to start on this target tonight, wish me luck!

Thanks Chad, I've been NEEDING a script like this. Certainly will load it into PI. - Patrick -

It was added to my workflow the second it came out!

New AM3 owner, thanks for this video. First light did pretty well but I forgot to change the RA to Hysteresis. It still managed less than 1 arc second for the most part, not sure how I lucked out there. I did witness a few minutes of random - it lost it's mind - drift.

Great vid mate as normal just created a google drive in process off uploading all my data from 2 hours to 20 hours intergration you free to link it in your video's let us know ill send u the link

I'm thinking "Magic Wand" like in photoshop would also be nice to have. Especially if you could edit the result of the wand.

I agree-the FAME script is a GAME changer….

Does anyone have the link to the FAME script please?

Like you, I live in OH, and I have a native F7 down to an F5.6 refractor. I also own a classic C8. Because of the weather, I'm thinking about getting rid of both scopes and getting a C9.5 Edge. Native F/10 or slower with a Barlow, use the reducer to speed it up and the last hyper star to go even faster. I want to give it a bit more time with the dual-sensor camera before I pull the trigger.

I've been out of the game for a while. All these new scripts wow!!

Enjoying this channel very much. I don't have a serious photo rig yet, but I'm learning a lot here. I too am a fan of seeing nice, sharp accurately colored stars in photos.

I have the 14" RASA36. These fast scopes do have their issues and require a lot of patience. tools like BlueXterminator make a huge difference when your backspace and tilt are not perfect.

Consider the SS130 if you like stars

Nice demo!

I have the EdgeHD 9.25 with the hyperstar that i am waiting for clear dark skys. Getting some smoke and barely no astronomical night has kept my rig in doors lately.

did he say anything? yikes
