Nice! One aspect that gives me quiet pause is the HA composition. I adore my Andromeda, but I was quiet reliant on StarXterminator when creating a minimized hydrogen mask for it. Just when I thought I had my processing down to mostly waiting on the CPU/GPU to crunch, you bring me back in!
Thanks! I hope it turns out to be a fun project :) If you need any pixelmath tutorials, Stefan Astro has a good one :) I look forward to seeing the submission!
Thank you for exposing this reality, last year when i started imaging i quickly realized that most images shown where literally AI corrected to the point where people seems to do d..k measuring... Nice challenge!
Too be fair, 90% of us consider it artwork to a certain extent. Some people freehand paint on their images, some use wild colors, some use AI. It's really dealers choice, we all have our own personal tastes, and that's okay :)
I think you can do it! Basically, most tools in Pixinsight (except add ons like BlurX and cosmic clarity) should work. Same for Siril and Gimp. Most everything in photoshop too I would think.
It's sort of interesting. ("Hey ChatGPT, what are some non-AI algorithms that can clarify my telescope data?" JK 😅) We're definitely already heavily reliant on machine learning / neural networks in every aspect of tech. It's just so easy.
Great idea, I’m a OSC guy, but this was fun to play with. Just curious, what was the camera? The pixel size is huge, 9 microns, or was this on Bin 2? And the exposure times? The luminance image is a bit overexposed, there’s lots of saturated pixels. Thanks again.
Thanks! The pixel size is actually around 4.63 microns. Bin 1 is about 2.3. Bin 2 is 4.6. For some reason Siril (and other program) think the pixel size is 9.2, which is wrong. Not sure why. Luminance is 120 seconds taken with an F/6 scope (the equipment is in the description of the video I think). I probably should have shortened the exposures a bit. But, live and learn!
I did manual deconvolution back in the day with a underpowered pc not again. it took me 4 days with crashes and other things. Not even good price can not make me do it again even with a good pc. I am fine with everthing else but deconvolution bane of my existance.
@@deepskydetail I bought pixinsight and after that never touch sirril again. Not only that those days were no joke traumatic for me. I burned all my patience those early days when I was trying to overachive with my puny gear.
Entry submitted. I remember now why I was so excited to get Blur Xterminator - and why I never again (until now) touched the regular deconvolution tools in PI
it's high time to ban the use of AI in astroprocessing, after these tools a photography becomes a drawn picture great competition! but who needs a Bakhtinov mask? all astrophotographers use autofocusers

Great challenge!
Looking forward to trying out your data.

Súper nice challenge
Thanks :)
This sounds fun but feel I don't know enough yet to do this. Plus I have to figure out what I can't use.
I think you can do it! Basically, most tools in Pixinsight (except add ons like BlurX and cosmic clarity) should work. Same for Siril and Gimp. Most everything in photoshop too I would think.
@deepskydetail does that include the denoise and dehaze functions in the Camera Raw filter of Photoshop? Have just started using Siril.
I'm not sure about dehaze. I think with camera raw there are two denoising tools. The older one is fine. The newer one uses AI.

It is easy! Quick question: was chat gpt accurate?

not using starnet!? that is going to be hard lol
I know! I've gotten so used to it.
I did manual deconvolution back in the day with a underpowered pc not again. it took me 4 days with crashes and other things. Not even good price can not make me do it again even with a good pc. I am fine with everthing else but deconvolution bane of my existance.
Yeah, deconvolution can be slow. I've found that Siril's deconvolution tool is not to bad with a food pc. But it still can take a while.

Ugh... manual deconvolution... how 20th century :P

Challenge accepted sir! :-)
Can't wait!
@ if it’s ok with you - Can I also make a video about the process?
Of course!
Old school
The best school... ? :)
