Thank you for making this. New to astrophotography with the Seestar and spent all weekend fumbling through the Siril tutorials. I learned more of the basic in 18 min with you then in the several hours of trial and error.

Great video! The final images look incredibly better using Siril, Graxpert and GIMP.

@larrychristianson2244 4 дня назад

As someone just starting to muddle their way through this, this lesson was invaluable. But, at what point in the process would Graxpert and GIMP be used? (sorry for the lazy question, I'm just getting overdone in tutorials).

Sir. It took me a good amount of time. But with your help I was able to go step by step pausing the video. Making all the appropriate files and actually processing the image I collected of m51 Whirlpool Galaxy. Thank you so much. I'm still so new and still have so much to learn. But I had success! Thank you so much. I was on here before ranting and venting lol. But got it to work. Thank you. I plan on watching every single video you have on siril and studying it like I'm in college. Thanks for helping this welder with his first laptop stack and process an image.

Yes that should work just fine with the Seestar.

@drdentin3215 3 месяца назад

I don’t know if you follow Trevor at Astro Backyard. His newest post also mentions that tossing out data that is not the greatest is tough to do but is helping the final image. To hear it twice in a row just hammers the point into my thick skull. Again Thanks.

@txdave2 16 дней назад

Great tutorial, but it leaves me conflicted. I jumped into astrophotography a few months ago. I purchased the SVBony 80mmED refractor and a Skywatcher AZ GTi mount. Also bought a pristine Canon T5i body and adapter. I've become reasonably proficient with capture and processing software and have managed to capture some pretty decent images. However, I am 70 years old and in not so great health, and setting up for a night's imaging session is somewhat difficult. My quandary is whether I should stick with the more traditional astrophotography route (especially since I've made the financial investment) or go the Seestar route. Seeing what can be done with Seestar images in Siril just adds to my confusion.

@DeepSpaceAstro 16 дней назад

Thanks! Honestly I don't think the smart scopes can produce images as well as a traditional setup can. Don't get me wrong they do a good job, it's just they can only perform the way the manufacture designs them too. There's no upgrading the optics, camera, etc. They're a great fit for beginners and folks in situations such as yours. It comes down to each individuals needs and preferences.

@txdave2 16 дней назад

@@DeepSpaceAstro This helps a lot. I had not thought about having no option to update the smart scopes. Thanks!

@maktham2006 Месяц назад

You are the best man! Thank you from Jordan. I am lucky to have found your channel. I have a question. I have too many light frames of a single object (over 3,000). What I usually do is stack every 200 frames and save them as linear, without any processing like auto-stretching. I save the results directly after running the Seestar script. Let's say I have 3,000 frames. After stacking every 200 frames, I have 15 linear FIT stacked frames. Then, I run the Seestar script again with those 15 stacked frames and continue with post-processing, etc. Is this method the right way to deal with so many frames?

@DeepSpaceAstro Месяц назад

You can although it's not ideal. If you could stack them all at once, it's better, but I understand the challenge. If you can, I'd stack as much as you can (more than the 200) per stack. Thanks!

@paolotorrente2781 3 месяца назад

Hi, thanks for the video, where I can find the script? Thanks

@DeepSpaceAstro 3 месяца назад

I cover everything in the video, including where and how to install the script.

@JohnKirton-kb4gp 2 месяца назад

Thanks for this clear and easy to understand video. Having followed successfully I have processed the resultant stacked image, however having compared the result with the SeeStar internal stack I find the SeeStar stack gives the better final result. Am I missing something here? Why should one preprocessing method be different from the other?

@DeepSpaceAstro 2 месяца назад

This is more of a primer for Siril. Watch my other videos on how to use the other tools within Siril i.e. Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch, Starnet, Deconvolution, etc. Siril gives you control of the final image and in doing so can get you a better final image.

@JohnKirton-kb4gp 2 месяца назад

Thanks for your reply yesterday but I didn’t explain myself properly. I have been processing SeeStar stacked data in Siril for a while now using the guidance from your earlier video’s including GraXpert, Starnet and AstroSharp and I have had some amazing successes. Having then stacked the same data using the new Seestar preprocessing script in Siril and then following the identical image processing work flow, the stacked data coming directly from the SeeStar has always proved to give the better final result. What I really don’t understand why would you go to the trouble of stacking again in Siril when it has already been stacked for you by the SeeStar? What your video has made possible is to combine the light frames from different sessions which is in itself brilliant. Thanks again!!

@DeepSpaceAstro 2 месяца назад

The data that you pull out of the Seestar isn't already stacked. You're pulling the raw individual images, unprocessed or stacked. The script also rejects the subs that have bad stars due to sub-par tracking. I don't own one, so I really can't do a side-by-side comparison. I suppose if you had a good session where the stars/data were really good, the Seestar may be doing a good enough job. One benefit of Siril is it allows you to learn the whole stacking and processing side of things, if you ever decided to go with a more traditional setup.

@jbruner4263 2 месяца назад

Does this script work with only the Orion Nebula or with other deep sky objects like the Andromeda galaxy?

@DeepSpaceAstro 2 месяца назад

Yes it works with anything out of the Seestar

@skotos_oman 3 месяца назад

Sorry am new to this... when you run the script, is it stacking the image?

Yes. Just follow the steps in the video and you'll be good.

@Rockmonix 2 месяца назад

Hi I feel kind of silly. I'm new to my Seestar, and when I try to take my image from the device I only have a single FITS file that starts with "Stacked" It's doesn't give me any files that start with "Light" like your example. Any idea what I should be doing differently?

@DeepSpaceAstro 2 месяца назад

That's the already stacked image. You need all of the individual images taken during your session. Unfortunately, I don't own a Seestar so I can't tell you where you need to look. Try asking in one of the FB groups. Sorry.

@karlrijkse5430 2 месяца назад

Hey I would appreciate your help. I have the same beautiful picture of M 42 except mine is peppered with noise. You have a nice black space background I don't. How do I get rid of this? Thanks

Try more exposures or longer exposure times. You can also use the adjustments sliders in the Histogram Transformation tool to try and get the background darker.

@Olbensen Месяц назад

Is there a way to have a different output directory for my stacked images? My lights are saved on my desktop however I don’t have the space to stack and save the images to the same location. I am trying to have the stack saved to a SSD and it won’t let me have a working directory on the SSD but I am not seeing a way to change the save location. Sorry for the convoluted question.

@DeepSpaceAstro Месяц назад

You should be able to click the blue house button and select your other drive. Copy all of your data from the desktop to that working directory and then run the script

@Olbensen Месяц назад

@@DeepSpaceAstro got it! Just realized it wouldn’t recognize my lights folder because I capitalized the “L”. I’m noticing now it has a problem with Seestar’s pre-stacked fit files. Unfortunately I have 3 or 4 imaging sessions that were saved as a stack only about 4 hours of data out of my 15 hours of M81. I’m getting “number of layers (1) is not consistent with sequence. Do I need to pull those out?

@DeepSpaceAstro Месяц назад

@FITMEDICS Yeah you don't want to use want it stacked. Just the individual fits files

@Olbensen Месяц назад

@@DeepSpaceAstro copy that. It’s a bummer cause when the Seestar firmware was updated it unchecked the “save individual exposures” box and like I said I got about 4 hours of data that I guess is lost. But thanks for your help my friend!

Thanks for all that you do. I am running windows 10 and everything you do looks different on my computer. I have tried this numerous times and I cannot get it to work. I give up. Moveing to Star tools because Siril just does not work for me at all ever. And even when I do process using Siril with data from my Seestar the finished product looks like crap! Sorry about the rant but it is just very frustrating.

More exposures can help if you don't have that many. You could also try denoising the image with GraXpert. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OmHBvWwU6zE.html
