  • In this video I process an image of the Orion Nebula taken with a 75-300mm kit lens. I'll talk about to to stack in Siril as well as Deep Sky Stacker. I'll then use Siril for some basic processing before switching to Photoshop for the rest.

    Wow... Your final image looks much more detailed and I like the brown dust... You should do a video of start to finish on the images that you "spend more time" on, to show which parts you spend more time on.

    • @deltaastrophotography
      @deltaastrophotography  Рік тому

      I know! I don't want to make a 2-hour video on processing. But basically I just keep stretching while the image is starless until I get it just right. That takes a while! In Pixinsight it takes only a few minutes.

    Hey Walt. Last question, I promise...lol. So the plugins from RC Astro that you use, how much are each, how do you install them on PS, and how much memory should you have for everything to run smoothly? I'm already getting a "No DirectX" and "No VRAM" whenever I open PS.

  • @kevinashley478
    @kevinashley478 Рік тому

    Hey walt. In Siril, when you are stacking, you said that you need the script that is without whichever calibration frames you dont have. But none of them specifically have "without bias". Does Siril not care whether you have bias frames or not?

    I will follow this processing this Weekend. My only question if you can help me is: I did three sessions for the Orion. three different nights but with same settings on the camera. I took Darks, Flats, Bias, too in all nights. How should I deal with DeepSkyStacker? Do each night separately or all nights in one go? If I do them separately I will end up with 3 stacked photos. Should I stack them together? Thanks

    • @oikopedo1

    Great tutorial video as always! May be the wrong area to ask this question, not sure. I've seen where a lot of people say they're adding new photos to existing data to improve the image. My questions are:
    1. Do they use the existing data as 1 photo and add each individual new photo, or stack the new data then combine it with the 1st data set as 2 images and reprocess?
    2. Would the camera settings need to be the same on each data set such as ISO, exp time, etc?

    • @deltaastrophotography
      @deltaastrophotography  Рік тому +1

      I've been meaning to make a video on this. In Deep Sky Stacker once you've loaded all your frames from night one, you then see an option at the bottom next to Main Group called Group 1. Click that tab and add all of your images from night two. You can repeat this process for as many nights as you want. And yes all the camera settings have to be the exact same.

  • @kevinashley478
    @kevinashley478 Рік тому

    Hey Walt. In Siril, which script would you run if you had bias frames, but no darks or flats? Or what if you had darks and biases frames?

    • @deltaastrophotography
      @deltaastrophotography  Рік тому

      This is a tricky question and a lot of people have opinions. But if you just have darks then you don't need bias. Bias is mainly used to calibrate flats.

    Is it possible to image the Orion Nebula without blowing out the core, using the 75-300mm lens?

    • @deltaastrophotography
      @deltaastrophotography  Рік тому

      Not really. A lot of people take a serious of five second exposures to keep the core intact and blend that in with the longer exposures. That's what I usually do actually.

    I have heard multiple people say that Photoshop does better with 16-bit than it does with 32-bit. Why? What's the difference? What about 32-bit is hard for Photoshop? I would think the 32-bit would be better image quality. Could you explain the difference between the two and why the preference for 16-bit?

    • @deltaastrophotography
      @deltaastrophotography  Рік тому

      32-bit does contain more detail. But a lot of the basic Photoshop functions don't work with a 32-bit file. This is a big reason why Pixinsight is much better.

      @@kevinashley478 Overall PixInsight is better because it's very specifically designed for astrophotography. Photoshop still shines though when it comes to things like fixing a blown-out core or selectively enhancing certain areas of your image. If Pixinsight added layer masks then I would never use Photoshop again.
