Hey thanks a lot! This was my 2nd attempt at all, but my first with an actual target, not Just snapping a picture of the sky
I wrote up my method here https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/12982996
Let me know if you have any feedback or ideas too, I'm here to learn :D
Thank you for your interest and compliments :) I was following advice from Nico Carvers channel for taking the frames: I am in a Bottle 4/5 sky so am decently lucky in that regard I took 400 light frames ( had to cull about half though) at 3sec exposure time to try and keep sharpess based on the NPF rule.
For processing I used Siril and a lot of tutorials. I stacked the frames (minus flats because it didn't like the ones I took), then ran background extraction, plate solved colour calibration, and then I removed the stars with starnet.
I stretched the nebula using the generalised hyperbolic transform (I wanted to learn it, so far only used the others) and was happy with the results I got! My main trick was to do just enough stretching and reset the black point at each step, being careful about clipping. I then readded the stars at the level that I found aesthetic
I don't know too much yet, this was my 2nd astro project at all, but I really loved it!
I just got a star adventurer 2i and the next clear night will have me doing Andromeda
I really have the bug now! This was a lot of fun with barely any equipment
Dslr, 50mm f1.8 lens, and a tripod.
I can't wait to get a star tracker now
LEDs kinda ruin the simplicity. Current runs into a chunk of Gallium Nitride and mumble mumble quantum mumble mumble bandgap and light comes out!
I'm never leaving darktable again, lightroom can go suck an egg. I don't have to pay any more and the tool is better imo
No answer to your question is relevant, as there is no line where vandalising someone's shit becomes acceptable. Let alone based on someone's gut reaction that owning a particular car makes someone scum
Even if they were "almost 100%" right wing tech bros, it doesn't excuse messing with a private person's shit.
People need to target the problem, rather than infighting.
You may want to quote some more of that bit, bud. It was a FOILED BOMBING PLOT targeting Jewish Australians.
How is Israel relevant?
But yes, native people always seem to get the shaft, no matter where you are. Again though, not relevant in this thread surely.
All Nazis are assholes Not all assholes are Nazis
A post about a comedian made by that same comedian turned out to be a joke
What did you read in my message that gave you the impression of me being for or against the idea?
Some compression is lossy
