Platesolving and Annotating with Siril, Aladin Desktop, and LROC Quickmap

- When I process my Astrophotography I always wonder, if the fuzzy patches I see in my images are background galaxies. There are tools out there that can help you identify which galaxies they are. Sometimes you can find astonishing details on them.
Finding out details of the topography of things you photographed on the Moon turned out to be the most difficult. But thanks to the conversations on this subject on Twitter I found really helpful insights from Rob Tilsey and Will Gater. See willgater/status/...
In this video I explore a few of the tools that are freely available. The tools and websites I mention in this video are:
* nova.astrometry.net/
* All Sky Plate Solver - www.astrogb.com/astrogb/All_Sk...
* Siril - siril.org/
* Simbad Astronomical Database - simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/
* Aladin Lite - aladin.u-strasbg.fr/AladinLite/
* Aladin Desktop - aladin.u-strasbg.fr/java/nph-...
* SVS: Moon Phase and Libration, 2021 "Dial-A-Moon" - svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4874
* LROC QuickMap - quickmap.lroc.asu.edu/
If you know of tools that would help annotate the images shot for Astrophotography even better or more easy, please leave a comment!

Submitted tools by viewers:
* Virtual Moon Atlas - ap-i.net/avl/en/start
I know that PixInsight has an annotation option which is really nice, but I like to know what free-to-use solutions are out there!
Do you want me to make a more detailed video on one of these tools? Let me know in the comments.

Hallo Martin, ik heb in combinatie met Siril en Astrometry vandaag 2 sterrenstelsels kunnen vinden in mijn Markarian's Chain foto met een afstand van 11,05 en 11,38 miljard lichtjaar . Dankzij deze duidelijke video, bedankt voor de uitleg!
Graag gedaan! Altijd leuk om die faint fuzzies van een naam te kunnen voorzien!
Great.Im a siril user SO nice to see some more things it can do
Absolutely!
Oooh I didn’t know those plate-solving tools - that’s really cool and useful, many thanks!
You’re welcome. Be amazed at the faint fuzzies hundreds of millions light years away in your images.
Nicely put together Martin great video so many useful tips.
Thanks for the compliment. I hope it will prove to be useful to many people. And I hope that I get some tips and insights from the comments myself! Perhaps I'll do a video with a more in-depth view on Aladin.
On a few occasions iv had some unexpected fuzzies turn up in an image. I love the little personal discoveries I sometimes make. Good way to find out more about these discoveries. Enjoyed the moon part of the video found it interesting, learned quite a bit. Great video Martin, Thanks!!!
Thanks!
Thanks for all the tools Martin, I’m going to try some right now.
Keep me posted on your findings! Would love to learn more about it.
Hey Martin! - Just wanted to say you've done a fantastic job here! - so many tools, and instructions on the usage of them in a comprehensive video like this is a lot of effort to create, well done!
I hope this video will benefit many people :)
Luke
Thanks Luke! Yes, this was truly a long process to get it this far. And every time I start a new video project I think something like: "Ok, this will go live in a few days..." ;)
Thanks a lot! I did not know where do dive deeper than astrometry.net yet. You gave me a nice exercise for tonight 😃
Have fun! And let me know if you discover some cool stuff (in your images or in the software)!
Hello Martin. That was a interesting and informative video about naming astronomical structures. Some of them were not common to me and I will surely use them. For annotating structures on the moon I primarily use Virtual Moon Atlas. It is a nice piece of software, is quite detailed with a database and uses recent photos from NASA.
Great video Martin, just what I was after 👍
In case you have insights on how to make read the information, please get in contact with me. You can find my email in my info section. 🙏
Intresting Video! I will have To try this Out on the Moon, for some Crater Hunting🌗!
Identifying Fuzzies and Distant galaxies In Astrophotos sounds Interesting!! Great Video Man!
It is addictive to go hunt the fuzzies. But a look at your name tells me you are familiar with that 😅
@@KopLamp Not Really!! I have Heard About It, But never Tried it!! I to Identity Stuff!! I just Use Stellarium Software And Compare The Field Of View with my Teleacope and Identify them Manually😁
Hopefully you get it what I mean? : )
Zeer interessant Martin!
Dat vond ik ook. Daarom er maar een video over gemaakt. ☺️
@@KopLamp Ik moet alleen nog meer foto's kunnen maken om hier fatsoenlijk gebruik van te kunnen maken, maar het weer is van ANRN (Algemeen Nederlands Ruk Niveau) kwaliteit
Hello Martin. Can you explain to us how to do plate solving with C8 and ASI air?
The success of it depends on the field of view of your camera in arc seconds. There is a lower limit. I think this forum post details it quite extensively: bbs.astronomy-imaging-camera.com/d/15916-minimum-fov-for-plate-solving
