I’ve been using GraXpert’s AI gradient removal which works really well, but it’s obv not integrated with PI, so will be amazing to see how the MARS project develops ✨
Agreed mate! - I can't wait to see how this one comes along :-D
Wow this is pretty awesome! I was just thinking about when the Vera Rubin goes online, we will have a vast amount of up to date widefield surveys and maybe they can plug that data in to this! This could be like a SPCC for gradients 🙂 Thanks for news Luke!
My pleasure Dave!
Luke, your face is a bit white... seems that your studio light is blasting your tender british skin with too many photons. This all sounds very exciting. I have to watch this video a few more times to get to grips with it! Great work as always
I'm secretly hoping the studio light will give me a nice tan!! 😂😂
Clear skies mate!!
Interesting! Thanks for the fast coverage.
Any time!
Hhhhmmm I’m using a 135mm lense on the back of my esprit 100. Guess I could use my Widefield data to calibrate my narrow view using real data. Interesting.
that’s awesome! i’ve thought about this kind of idea before, but never would’ve been able to implement it so im excited to see what comes of this with a competent team behind it! even though i’m sad i can’t contribute since i can’t afford pixinsight right now, im still really excited to see how well this works!
Hey Gabe!! It's a really cool idea isn't it mate! :-D hopefully it's able to be developed into the best tool it can possibly be 👍
@@lukomatico i really hope so! man, with blur-x, noise-x, and now the prospect of this tool coming… i might have to decide to buy pixinsight instead of upgrading my camera this year :^)
Sound great Luke let's hope lots of people send in data
Agreed Tony!! Hoping they are flooded with high quality data 👍
Looks very interesting mate I know Graxoert does an Ai version which I've never managed to get to work as yet, maybe due to my pc being so old who knows. But this looks to be a definite gamechanger though so I'll be keeping my eye on this.
You are fast man hahaha I saw the email from PI team and then boom new video ahaha 🚀
Haha! I just thought I'd spread the word :-D clear skies mate!!
@@lukomaticoon point my friend!! Clear skiesss
I was in two minds whether to get a 135mm over Christmas.. We have a house in Borneo with access to Bortle 1 sky. Although we get quote a bit of cloud cover, I really would like to contribute. Its also on the equator and I assume they'll not be many people shooting from that latitude.
135mm is sorta magical.
Hey Andy! That's awesome you have a house under those skies, wow! - I reckon a 135mm would be a real weapon out there 👍
It's a fun focal length for sure!!
It was a toss between the 135mm and a Seestar... no composition normally, but I just have a startracker over there.
They want wide field shots - any recommended tools to measure the width of the field?
A standard plate solver should give you the fov in degrees, or a field of view calculator will also tell you :-)
Hope that helps!
Excuse my inexperience, but will PI determine what is gradient/noise vs what is potentially a new (feint) discovery by an amateur (not me), if it’s removing data based solely on others submitted images? Would that even be a consideration?
Great question mate! I think we'll only be able to truly answer that when pixinsight shares more, my gut feeling is that it'll work solely on additive gradients though so should be fine 👍
Saw the e-mail, an interesting project for sure. I'm now in bortle 3/4 so will definitely contribute some data. Well, I would If we actually had some clear skies.
Ah mate it's been rough hasn't it! - wish it'd clear up soon, i've got a lot of stuff I want to do now but can't get anything moving without clear skies lol!
P.S - has your super secret space telescope arrived yet? :-D
@@lukomatico Not yet, it isn't in stock and is on a 15-20 working day lead time, so it'll likely be a few weeks before it arrives. It should allow me to make some interesting content with a bit of luck.
Hmm, I have ready access to Bortle 2 skies (1 hour drive) and periodically go out to Bortle 1, and so would like to contribute to the project. I haven't read through everything but I'm wondering if the data will be open access/source. I don't know if I would be as willing to contribute to the project if it's going to be closed source/proprietary.
PixInsight is commercial software so I highly doubt it.
@@SpaceCityAstro Commercial products often utilize open source/access data. Case in point, the GAIA database they are planning to use in conjunction with MARS is open access. If they are crowd-sourcing this project, I think they should open source at least that data component. If they want to keep the proprietary portion proprietary that is fine (the data they will collect at their observatories). IMHO.
Great question mate! I'm sorry I don't know the answer though, might be worth checking the PI forums thread, or possibly shooting their support/Facebook page an email 👍👍
I hope it will be an easy thing when it's all developed
Me too mate, my hope is that it's quite streamlined 🙏
Seems slightly better than DBE but what kind of library am I going to need to download?
Good question! I think it may be baked into the same library as the SPCC tools require though when finished
Is it out for download yet?
Unfortunately not mate! I can't wait for it haha
I wonder if it's a coincidence that this tool is to be launched right after the successful introduction of GraXpert AI 😉 Anyway, competition stimulates business.
Maybe haha!! I hear ya though! :-D
3 years in astrophotography and I’m still use Siril 😅
Nothing wrong with that mate! if you're having fun then you're doing everything right :-D
