Great result despite the pollution. It’s good news that IDAS are still breaking new ground. I feel sure that your work encourages them to try even harder. Yet another example of your ‘MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE, POSSIBLE’
Thanks so much Melvyn!
Cuiv, you give all of us in light polluted skies hope (I’m just outside of Manhattan). Just knowing it’s possible is all that matters in this hobby. Would it be possible for you to share the Pixel Math expression you used for increasing the brightness of the galaxy? You’ve become an astro-imaging ‘coach’….so, keep on motivating us.
Inspirational! Thank you for the great video!
Very nice result Quiv, wasn't expecting such a detailed result from a white zone.
I guess it's thanks to your processing skills, great job
Thanks Siegfried!
Despite our fascist government, living in north/west Canada offers clear sky’s, we can see andromeda with the naked eye. Until now I never realized how fortunate we are that way. Great video, great result, thanks for sharing
Clear and dark skies are precious..
Great result my friend - well done!! I've finally had some clear skies and been recording my findings with this filter too, it seems we've got very similar views on it! :-)
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful! This gives me hope with my Celestron 6SEc and Hyperstar. The Pixinsight recap was really helpful. -Tom
I try to check everyday to see if you have a new video up. Now we know what you've been up to! Great job, and as always, very helpful information. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks!!
Wow. Just wow. I wish that I were a tenth as good at image processing as Cuiv. I realize that it takes time and practice, but wow. I've got a truly dark sky (just above Bortle 1) and just imaged M81/M82 last week, and in comparison, well, ouch. I've got good data, and I love the act of being out at night and imaging the sky, but I don't enjoy the processing side at all.
(To be clear, I get that Cuiv is very good at this, that's why he has a channel. 🙂)
Holy cow man you got great results! Your images from the white zone are every bit as good if not better than mine from my Bortle 5 backyard.
Very impressive work from Bortle 9 Cuiv! Just shows what you can do if you put the work in 👍
Thanks Stuart!
A very Impressive result from your location Cuiv. You have 'Jedi like' processing skills!. I noticed that you have a fat, straight USB cable connected to your camera. A thinner one with a right angled connection would allow a couple of extra photons to your mirror perhaps! :)
Try the IDAS D3! It does it all. Blocks led light but still get your dso blue. I think there was a limited run of them but they work great.
Very enjoyable and informational video! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pretty impressive what you are able to do in Tokyo.
You give us hope!
Thanks Cuiv! I think you work in coding if I got the right end of the stick but you make a seriously good teacher. Always articulate, and that's a better cigar and bodes than I've ever managed from Bortle 6/7, nice! : )
I don't actually code, but I do work in software!
Recently discovered your channel. I’m looking forward to watching the video you posted on Astro theory for beginners. I’d like to see more of that type of content. I.e. not just the how but why.
Nice Cuiv! Love it. I never get out of the city (Bortle 7 where I am) and have enjoyed doing the brighter galaxies M33, M51 and M81 with a cooled one shot colour camera. M31 is too big for the 533mc sensor at my f ratio and I'm not ready for mosaics. Now you got me planning a road trip! Your results are amazing, and the videos have great tips, but I want to say that you don't need to be as fussy and meticulous as you are to still get a big wow! out of it. I truly get that as each year comes round that wow will get progressively harder to find unless you get fussy, old man! 😜
Hahaha thanks man!!
great results man
Very exiting and excellent video !
Thank you very much!
Toujours un plaisir de vous suivre. Vous etes une mine d'or d'information pour nous amateurs en astrophotographie. Personellement vous etes ma reference. Merci pour le partage et tres bonne continuation. Clear skies.
Merci beaucoup Dirk!! Clear skies!!
Dammit, now I'm going to have to look for galaxy targets in the southern hemisphere now...
Yes, you can do it using Sloan-i filter from Astrodon or Chroma. However, it will be very different to LTBR. You need to add narrow- band to NIR filter. High flying staff. 40-48+ hours for each galaxy.
With fast scopes we can spend more time processing than imaging 🙄 - they need to make a 585 lightly cooled camera unit 🤔
hey i live in bortle 8-9 just like you and i want to buy the dwarf 2 what will i be able to see with it (deep space)? tysm for responding if you will
Fantastic capture from Tokyo sky! It has lots of data with hard work. Just curious how long it took for WBPP in Pixinsight, assuming you used it for stacking the 1500 images. Or is it NINA stacking on the fly? Pardon my ignorance Cuiv (I am learning Astrophotography with ASIAir Plus).
Awesome video, would be nice to have a tutorial kind of thing for this next galaxy season! Thanks for this video, do you think lowering ISO and 60seconds would be worse?
I wouldn't lower the gain, I'd want to stay in High Gain Conversion mode if I can :)
can you put a link to the stacked image in the description? Would love to play with the data
Haha... Tokyo... Try to get galaxies from Batumi, sea cost, extremely high humidity, and red pollution zone)
That sounds easier actually! Tokyo is sea side with high humidity and terrible seeing :-)
@@CuivTheLazyGeek Ok, convinced ) Going to Tokyo)
You really are a gem Cuiv!
Hey Cuiv, I have a question, do you know enough about how color calibration is made to answer this ? :
In siril, automatic color calibration put the background to grey, for me it shouldn't because the sky is blue, and I'm worried about the consequence of it.
I think it also take the star colors into account, though I'm not sure. What I do know is that this determines the color you end up with for nebulosity, in particular, galaxies.
I'm wondering if, because it put the background to grey, is could mess up the color calibration.
My reason for this is, I usually end up with more red/orange/ yellow than what I think it should.
For instance, M31 end up very orange, much more than what I see for instance with the last big hubble picture of it.
Now, there is also the lost blue dissipated in the atmosphere (making the sun appear yellow instead of white), so I'm not sure.
Do you know anything ?
Awesome and interesting video Cuiv! I'm doing so in Mexico City just without an IDAS and yeah, I think it would make a huge difference if I get one. Btw I'm getting used to the noise and accepting there is no negotiation living in a big city. Yet we're at the forefront hahaha if we can get this in such places, everyone can 😆
Exactly! Honestly lower Bortle zones feel like cheating, it's so easy to get a mind blowing result!
I am like you Cuiv, in that I'm never quite satisfied with the end results, always feeling that it could be better. But that said, I think that your final image is truly Amazing considering the amount of light pollution you have to contend with, and how just 10 years ago, it would have been near impossible for an amature to capture that much data from a balcony in Tokyo. So ... Well done!
By the way, I wanted to ask you: I know you use NINA for plate solving, but is that the software you use for go-to control of your mount?
I have an Explore Scientific iEXOS-100 mount with PMC-Eight go-to control. It's a great little travel mount, but their software isn't really user friendly at all, and I would like to use something else. What would you suggest otherwise?
Thanks Cuiv
¡Hola from México Cuiv! Can you make a side by side of otpolong ultimate vs IDAS GNB for nebulae pictures from the city? I am on the fence about getting either one I just cant make my mind up on which one to get. A video would help a bunch! Saludos amigo
I saw that you have a new model SV Bony camera, what is its model number/description please, Kind wishes from Tasmania, Australia.
Can you do comets too?? Specifically the ZTF one.
How far out is Bortle 4/5 for you? As an OSC boy I have to take my barely portable rig from a 5/6 to a 3/4 zone 30 mins away.... The difference is huge and worth it... Even with my L-extreme you can stiil see the difference although the haloes are now bugging me thanks to your IDAS reviews 🤟
On the country side, my country side, in France (low bortle 4, mid bortle 3 area) no filter on new moon are necessary :)
That's so nice, I'm very jealous!!
@@CuivTheLazyGeek But regular place is close to La Defense, bortle 8: always filters there :)
Danke!
Thanks for the support!!
What focal length is your scope?
300mm
That is exactly was I was looking for but unfortunately I can't find the IDAS GNB available anywhere... :(
Awww I hope IDAS can fix this soon...!
All of us: Can you image the new Andromeda Blue Arc?
Cuiv: Hold my beer….😂
I'll probably fail at that though lol
How did you managed to stack 1500 subs in PI?
PI usually runs out of memory around 200 frames for my 64gig system, also it takes forever already (like hour for wbpp2 run) .. although I have 26mpix sensor, so probably way more data than from starvis2 .
You answered your own question :-) it does take forever, and I don't do local normalization, but it completes, and it's because of the lower resolution I would say
Do you know if they make a 2" filter? The one available at OPT is only 1.25" size.
Not yet, they're planning it for March apparently
@@CuivTheLazyGeek ugh. Little late into galaxy season but oh well.
i know that shooting from the city has me at a considerable disadvantage... SQM 17.83 here ...
truth is that I won't have the time to travel to do astro as most days I have to be up by 4:45 ... so I'll most likely buy the gnb and have it paired to my sv705 and thank the Lord for however few clear night I get... automation would be great so I'll build the autofocuser with belts and Arduino ...
not entirely sure if I'll ever splash on a Hyperstar due to its high price ... but who knows ... C11 here so nothing is cheap...
Good luck Alex! City dwellers have to stand together :p
Have you tried the GNB on the new Dwarf yet? It should improve the performance a lot.
Not yet, I don't have the right filter size for it
@@CuivTheLazyGeek Now i remember yes. You could always use a bit of blu-tak on the rim to stick it on there.
You will soon be taking images in daytime 😊
Ha! Now that would be something!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Pour aller au bout de la logique d'utiliser ce filtre comme luminance, pourquoi ne pas l'utiliser avec une caméra monochrome ? 🤔
Parce que je n'ai pas de caméra monochrome en ce moment :-) Mais oui en effet!
Avec qu’elle caméra…?? Merci..Avec hyperstar..?…
Brat, don't try to justify it, you have to move out from Tokyo. I had better results with no filter, 50yo soviet lens and stock dslr from my bortle 3 backyard...
I'm not sure if it's 'easier' to get to a dark zone around Tokyo 😅
