So awesome! Loving watching all your videos this week. You have also convinced me to purchase Player One Poseidon-C pro which I plan to pair with the Celestron edge hd 8 when its in stock again. THANK YOU
I'm so happy you covered this bro. I hope it helps others. I can't wait to get back from vacation and start reading the siril pixelmath features and see what options are available to do.some.really cool stuff. If the main siril writers are listening, please.please.pelase offer multiple pictures layout options. This should be a big help!
Handy script! Just tried it out on an image set I thought could benefit from a bit of star reduction. Worked great. Made the image a bit more pleasing and helped make the nebula stand out better.
I'm so impressed! thank you very much Deep Space Astro... from a fan of miss Victoria, of "Elsastronomie" the youtube chanel... I'm aboned to yours now :)
This is good stuff. Siril is now getting to a point where it may outperform other widely used processing software out there. Thank you for your great videos and sharing your scripts. Extremely useful. Chapeau!
Wow this is some cool stuff. I use Siril but I didn't realize that scripts could be this powerful. This gives Pixinsite vibes. My mount is broken right now so I will be exploring some different processing methods. I will be working with some of your scripts, great job sir.
Hi Rick , well done script scrinks the stars. To compare befoe and after I just open another instance of Siril to show the original next to the shriked version. One question I have The biggest stars are having a kind of donut halo still arround. Would you know h why that is and how to solve? Or should I try clonestamp.
Hard to say. It could be a number of things. Some filters can cause halos, star is oversaturated, etc. At this point fixing it in PS like you mentioned is your only option.
You have a idea you may know the Photoshop action called like “local contrast enhancement” I belive it works with a kind of highpass filter of a starless image. I use it to make the structure in galaxy’s more prominent. You have a idea to do it with Siril?
They should work the same regardless of the OS, but I don't own a Mac to test. The scripts, even the ones Siril provides, are nothing more than a list of commands that you could type into the console. Those commands are the same in all versions, so I wouldn't expect any issues. Thanks!
Hiya Rich . Wow , you’re on fire with these Scripts ! Thanks ! Side question for you…the bottom right corner of the active window shows an RGB and XY co-ordinates that change with cursor position . What is the intended use for this ? Cheers .
Thanks! The RGB shows the intensity of the colors of the pixel the pointer is over. You're probably used to seeing something like 255,0,0 (R,G,B) which is red. In percentage that would be 100%,0%,0%. So if this was 75%,0%,0%, then it would be a different shade/intensity of red. The XY are image dimension in pixels. Top-right should be 0,0.
@@DeepSpaceAstro Excellent . I wonder if that would help when doing manual colour calibrations...? ie find the darkest spot and then the brightest spot .
Thank you for your video. I'm new to Siril and about to work through your videos. You mention that I need to install Starnet++ in Siril and configure. Can you assist with the process for this please.
Hello. The Siril tutorials are so helpful. Thank you. I would like to adjust the star reduction but I'm having difficulty opening the .ssf file in Windows 10. I found a viewer but it doesn't allow changes to be made. Any suggestions that don't require a subscription please? Thanks. Jeff.
Thanks for the prompt reply Rich. I found the answer in another Siril tutorial of yours where you mentioned using Notepad++. When I use the script on a recombined M31 image the stars all but disappear so now I can experiment with tweaking the script. I have a buddy in a local astronomy club and we are roughly at the same early stage of astrophotography. We fawn over your tutorials that make editing images so much easier and understandable. The best out there! Thanks again.
Hi Rich, i have tested the script in Siril 1.2.1, all good if i use the script how first operation. if before, of to use script, i make other operation (type backgrond extraction or noise reduction) i will has the image black or with few stars red. Many thanks Marco (Italy)
Heyo Rich. Long time no see. Upgraded eventually to Siril 1.2.0. However hitting lots of problems. The latest I can't get your script to run. I downloaded from the link and got "DSA-Star_Reduction-MTF.ssf". is only 2kb???? I copied this file to drips but nothing happens. I had it with the old version and LOOOved it, but this time I just can't get it to run. Thanks again for your awesome channel and enjoy those coffees
Hey Harry! It's just a text file, so it's small. Make sure whichever folder you copied the script to on your hard drive, that you have that path set in Siril. Thanks for the coffees!
Hi Rich, thanks for the great script but recently I found that after using the script I note that the stars are getting a blue shine - any idea what could be the reason?
That's strange. The script doesn't do anything directly with the color, just makes the stars smaller. Does it happen on any other data, or is it just this particular set?
@@DeepSpaceAstro Thanks for your quick reply and I have had a problem with one set of data and that was last week (see last paragraph) - I can't do an additional test as I am currently (next 2 weeks) out of the country and only have my notebook with me which does not support the avx instruction set (discovered by an earlier video of yours). As soon as I am back home I will do a test with another set of data and send an update. Fortunately I can do a Recomposition on the notebook there also note that when using the Black Point in the Star Stretch Parameters the same phenomenon occurs - blue stars. An interplay between HP and BP partially solves it but at the expense of the number of stars. I had run the script for a 2nd time and copied the log. 12:13:19: StarNet: -nostarmask invoked, star mask will not be generated.... 12:13:20: StarNet: Pixel values exceed 1.0.

Hi Rich, as promised - I made tests with other data sets and had no change in colour of the stars after running the script - it occurs only in one particular set. The set is a combination of 2 nights of data, stacked with DSS and processed with Siril and GIMP. Any idea what could be the reason?

Thanks a lot for the work you have done . Valérie Bohn gave the name of the video to look at . Very Interesting . Thanks ! 😉
You're welcome. Yes that was very nice of her to promote the video! Thanks!
Thanks a lot for making all the detailed tutorials with siril! Hope you make an updated image processing video entirety with the beta2 version.
You're welcome. Not sure yet. I was leaning towards waiting until it comes out of beta so it remains relevant for longer.
Great! You can also have 2 siril sessions open for comparison purposes
Didn't even think about that! Great tip!
I’m impressed you got skill man🎉 even to teach in easy understandable way 👍

Noice!
Thx for this video, I'll try it, why not define a variable and use it for the value "0.20", it will prevent a miss update of the script :)
Sirils Pixel math and scripting engine doesn't have that functionality! Trying to get them to implement that.
That script doesnt seem to work for me. I got this error come up "error:: no starnet executable set" what does this mean?
You need to install Starnet for the script to work. ua-cam.com/video/Y-WmMvepTHA/v-deo.html
