...well that was more exciting than I thought it would be! lol I liked this Cuiv and I appreciate catching a few tips to help my processing as well. cheers!
To put the stars back I use $T instead of starless in the formula, so I can drag the PixelMath process icon to whatever view I want to put the stars back into.
What an amazing video, I had much fun watching it! I may have missed something though, but why did you only use the stars from just one of the initial stacks?
Dear you can also do the following select the created process icons all and then click on the right mouse button a menu will open where you can choose to save the icons in documents you then have to right click again the next time Pixinsight is started and the same menu opens now you can choose to load icons and choose the saved file this way you can make sets but of course you have to give them each a different name.
Lol, a very fun exercise and you did it well! I kind of do that when I'm at a star party or camping. I'll do a "speed run' after a night or two just to get an idea of how things are progressing. My head is starting to swim with all the new scripts and PI scripts/processes that have been done this year. I'd forgotten all about the star reduction in PI. I'm positive I used Bill's pixel math icons the last time I processed an image instead ot the one in PI, lol.
Hahahahh great fun and totally agree we all spend forever thinking we can make something better - sometimes we do, …often we don’t but not sure this ‘slightly’ contrived route is the answer. Would love to have seen a final image comparison of what you could do with that data with your skills and experience allowing yourself say 30mins or an hour! Well done either way😅
Love your videos! Bit off topic question but something I have been thinking of for a while. Have you seen the GPD Win Mini and the GPD G1? Have been wondering how the win mini would be for an astro computer while also being able to stack and process on the backend! Seems like something I would see on your channel xD
Processing takes 9 minutes 52 seconds Walkthrough to explain all the tools beforehand: 10 minutes 20 seconds! 🙂 Very impressive speed-run, would be great to compare to a run where you spent a lot of time I'd love to see Bills script, or at maybe even how that kind of script is created - it would be really useful when out at a dark site and wanting to get that good quality but fast view in the morning!
Damn dude you were so fast I had to rewatch the video! Good idea staging everything so you can just get the mundane steps so you can take your time on the actually artistic work 🙂 You're a geek like me so I would like to see you script all those steps and make it even faster 😁 Automation is the smart lazy way of the future! Awesome video Cuiv! Clear skies mate!
Hello Cuiv. Good tutorial! There are two things that made me curious: 1. What Graxpert version you have that has Ai interpolation method? And second: How the RC Astro tools work so fast? When i use Star Xterminator it takes 15 min to remove the stars and make the star mask of a 26 megapixels image. Have to reserch how to speed up the process, or maybe buy a faster pc?
Thanks, will check them out, found already some download links regarding the cuda accelration on RC astro website, was to laizy to finish al the the instructions, have to make more time@@CuivTheLazyGeek
That was fun to watch, thanks Cuiv! You could have a second career as a sports announcer 😂. One observation, you might consider adding SPCC to your workflow to get accurate colors on your stars. Just a thought.
There's a script called AutoIntegrate which claims to automate PI processing. I haven't tried it, but one member of my astro club swears by it. Is it possible to automate scripts and processes in PI so that you can just run through all of your steps hands off? Would be the height of Cuiv-laziness.
Great Speedrun Cuiv! To speed up a bit more you would have been able to do the crop in Graxpert or as the first step in PI. A smaller picture would reduce processing time in which you are inactive. Doing so might have enabled you to work more on the colours. 😉 Nevertheless your result is really great for just 10 minutes.
@@CuivTheLazyGeek yeah the crop is difficult in the beginning as you need to anticipate on the STF what is a good share of the exposure to keep. Nevertheless it may pay off for some of the lazy folks out there. 😂
Hey Cuiv... 2 years ago I did a speedrun on my channel editing Thors Helmet using Siril. I could link it in the comment, but I guess it will then not be shown...
I like this video not for the technical stuff. I can see you are getting my message about the channel. You focus is on the word-- LAZY---! Ooohyou just spoilt my excitement. You just want to be productive! Lazy and be productive? Any way Cuiv. Plykeep it up. THANKS.
What a good idea. I did my own speed run on the Elephant Trunk using SHO data plus RGB stars through PixInsight and Photoshop. Total time was 15 minutes. My interactive time was only 10 minutes, roughly 5 minutes in PixInsight and 5 in Photoshop. My video is online now at ua-cam.com/video/u-r3iVSd6hI/v-deo.html
2.5 minutes of processing time Time to break out the Liquid Nitrogen and overclock your processor to 8ghz. should shave ~2 minutes off your time It's the geek way.
The speed run was fun but not practical. In reality getting large standard processes out of the way to leave room for your creative input is smart. Nothing works for everything the same way.

hi, is there any miror mask for r200ss on the marked?
No problem good thing about UA-cam we have pause and start 😃
Thanks again Cuiv for another great video. Lots of little nuggets to revisit. As a newcomer to PI I appreciate the structured workflow
What fun, Cuiv. Your most entertaining video yet. Enjoyed every minute … your enthusiasm is contagious.
Nice work Cuiv it's amazing how far PI has come with all the new features and processes by some very smart people
It's really impressive how lazy we can be with processing!
I love this. I learned some new tricks to speed up my processing. Thank you Cuiv.
Great to hear!
Seeing you make these levels of images from Tokyo is inspiring indeed. I can definitely overcome my neighbors obnoxious lights in my bortle3 location
Bribe your neighbor if needed... Bortle 3 is too precious to waste!
@@CuivTheLazyGeek being that they are the government owned rail service that seems appropriate 😂
It would be fun to see a comparison of this image and one version of it where you took your time working on it :)
...well that was more exciting than I thought it would be! lol I liked this Cuiv and I appreciate catching a few tips to help my processing as well. cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!

28min video says No. But happy to have this video. Thanks for flattening the learning curve a bit for us
I stand corrected. It's a recipe. 18 minutes prep, 10 minutes cook time.
Exactly :) and prep doesn't need to be done each time :-)
What an amazing video, I had much fun watching it! I may have missed something though, but why did you only use the stars from just one of the initial stacks?
I'm exhausted watching that Cuiv 🤣Good job!
Hahaha sorry!
@@CuivTheLazyGeek Enjoyed it! Keep up the great content
Cheers Si
That PHD2 bing at 00:25 really threw me for a loop :P
Pretty awesome result for just short of ten minutes work. I think you have a point about spending hours tweeking a perfectly acceptable image as well.
Dear you can also do the following select the created process icons all and then click on the right mouse button a menu will open where you can choose to save the icons in documents you then have to right click again the next time Pixinsight is started and the same menu opens now you can choose to load icons and choose the saved file this way you can make sets but of course you have to give them each a different name.
Thanks for the tip! I've already added it to the pinned comment!

Thanks so much Stephen! I need to work on the image slowly again but I've kinda been too lazy haha
@@CuivTheLazyGeek as it says on the can😂
Fun! Great job, Cuiv.
Awesome and allot of information.
Good job.

Hi Cuiv! Out of curiosity, which is the video game you like???
Baldur's Gate 3 :)

I have two videos on both those topics, my video right before this one explains graxpert, and there's an older one that explains CUDA GPU acceleration
Thanks, will check them out, found already some download links regarding the cuda accelration on RC astro website, was to laizy to finish al the the instructions, have to make more time@@CuivTheLazyGeek
That was fun to watch, thanks Cuiv! You could have a second career as a sports announcer 😂. One observation, you might consider adding SPCC to your workflow to get accurate colors on your stars. Just a thought.
Good idea on SPCC!

So, smoking GPU, CPU, tongue and fingers. Priceless!
Exactly lol
I can see a new Geek Astro Olympics sport: speed run Astro Processing ❤❤❤
Hahaha that would be fun!

Cuiv, The Lazy Crazy Geek - What a Speedrun :)
Thank you :D crazy as charged!
Hey Cuiv... 2 years ago I did a speedrun on my channel editing Thors Helmet using Siril. I could link it in the comment, but I guess it will then not be shown...
I had no idea, I'll need to check it out!
Ha! I added the link in my reply below but it got moved to the “Held for review” section… 😅
Fantastic video, unfortunately that software is financially out of reach but it’s fun to dream.
I hope the dream will become reality for you one day
Thanks!
Welcome!
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
this video is quite new 🤔
Why vidéo about 10 minuts treatement is during 28 minutes? Of cause, it's a joke and I'm vert Happy with yours vidéos. Clear skys
I like this video not for the technical stuff. I can see you are getting my message about the channel. You focus is on the word-- LAZY---! Ooohyou just spoilt my excitement. You just want to be productive! Lazy and be productive? Any way Cuiv. Plykeep it up. THANKS.

Lol! You're 10 minutes is my 10 months... 👍
Damn i got lost 1 minute in 😂
Sorry!
The length of the video suggests not.
The chapter length suggests yes :)
I think this fellow may have done astroprocessing before.
Mmmmh what makes you think that? 🤔 :p
2.5 minutes of processing time
Time to break out the Liquid Nitrogen and overclock your processor to 8ghz.
should shave ~2 minutes off your time
It's the geek way.
Hahahaha now that would be something!
having those icons on the side will take your laziness to whole new level. 😉
Nice, but you know the truth is that we all spend hours doing and redoing the process.
Yeah, that's the cold hard truth...
The speed run was fun but not practical. In reality getting large standard processes out of the way to leave room for your creative input is smart. Nothing works for everything the same way.
