Another nice video Sarah! I'm relatively new to Siril , so I was this old when I found out you could stack planetary images with it! I've always just used video then align in PIPP then stack in Autostackert. It's great when you learn something new or a different way to do something! Thank You

@SarahMathsAstro 11 месяцев назад

Thank you and thank you for taking the time to check the video out! I wasn't too sure how well trying to do a lunar preprocessing workflow was going to go with Siril, but I think it worked out pretty well. I also usually use PIPP, AutoStakkert, and Registax but I know not everyone has a Windows device or wants to have to use something like a virtual machine to be able to use the softwares. I have to use my old, solid-state field laptop to run the programs since that's the only Windows machine I have so it was nice being able to use my Mac which has a lot more processing power. Hope all is well! Cheers -Sarah

@@SarahMathsAstro I enjoy taking all kinds of astro photos, but the moon seems to hold a special place. If I’ve been away from astro for any length of time due to life, diving back in with photographing the moon is a good, simple restart. I’d say including clouds and land-based objects in the frame can add a lot to the image, but it’s not something for a beginner, really I suppose. Some of my favorite moon images do have beautiful color due to clouds or fading sunlight. The waxing moon several days before a full moon usually has the most drama from twilight, but as you mentioned, atmosphere comes into play, but it’s not a deal breaker. I guess the drama and color factor compensates for any loss of detail. Anyhow, that’s been my experience.

New subscriber here. I am extremely appreciative that you are as clear explaining and showing this as you were. I have wanted to take astro photos but have not done so yet. I am in Central Florida and the weather has just begun to change. We are going into our fall with less humidity, lower dew points, and lower air temperatures that will help with the clarity issues you described. I can take videos and photos from my driveway of rocket launches at Cape Canaveral. Now I can take photos of other astro bodies also. Thank You!

Hey there, thanks for your support and subscribing to the channel. I'm happy to hear that this video was helpful. That's so cool that you live somewhere where you can photograph rocket launches.
