Also looked around my non-commercial software stack (GIMP, AutoStakkert, Siril, etc) that I used before switching to PixInsight, and donated to all those projects as well. Checked my SharpCap license is renewed. Beginners do not have to pay for software to enjoy their hobby.

Today's #Sun! White-light capture and false colored using a SV503 102mm/f7 scope with 0.8 FF/FR and L-eNhance filter, Focus Cube, and #ASI2600MC in mono mode. Captured with #SharpCap and processed in #GIMP. ☀️🔭🦛

The nearest star to the planet Earth is called the Sun. Yesterday, it looked like this. #SVBONY #SV503, white light filter, #ZWO #ASI2600, #SharpCap #ImPPG #GIMP, and lots of luck since my AstropotaPOD only sees the Sun for about 20 minutes these days. #Astrophotography #Heliophysics #Solar ☀️🔭🦛

For Monday’s Total Lunar Eclipse, happening after midnight local time, I ‘might’ stream live to my youtube channel without any commentary. You’ll probably see me frantically adjusting exposures on my sharpcap. Weather has been really chaotic so far in Kuala Lumpur.

今日の太陽。
撮影に使ってるSharpCapというソフトに組み込むスクリプトを導入し、結構面倒なデータ取得作業の大半を自動化できるようになったので、いつもよりかなり多め(40枚)ほど撮影し、その内30枚をスタックして見たところ今までで一番解像度高い画像ができたよ。ただ、まだプロミネンスの処理とか課題は残っている。

追尾が超高精度なSWAT赤道儀にお手軽自動導入のAZ-GTiを搭載したSWAgTiシステムでディザーガイドが実現。SharpCapのバージョンアップで「追尾なしのディザリング」が可能に。「SWAgTiが一気に実用的に」「今後デフォルト機器として、使う頻度が増えてくると思います」

Seeing is good tonight. This is probably the most detailed photo of Jupiter I've personally captured. This is a single frame, and I took 500 pictures, so stacking for clarity and contrast is going to really pop.

Lunar live stacking with #SharpCap , #Celestron CPC-800 F6 and #PlayerOneAstronomy Ares-C Pro camera. The Moon was 22% and 32 degrees high. Lunar/Solar/Planetary tool in SharpCap is amazing for real-time views. A little overexposed but had a great time exploring with the help of Virtual Moon Atlas.

A timelapse of Jupiter. This is 38 frames covering 17 minutes from 28-11-2024. The images were captured and stacked live in Sharpcap using the pleantary live stack option. Not bad for a C6.

11月17日午前中、束の間の晴れ間の中、奇跡的に撮影できた太陽です。撮影後すぐに曇ったので、急いでセッティングした甲斐がありました。ただ、その後の処理については、センサー面のゴミが酷かったうえに、ICEによる自動モザイク合成も失敗したため、非常に苦労しました。

A nice end to my "I am offically a pensioner" birthday. Live stacking Jupiter in Sharpcap and saving it as a timelapse and Imaging M42 for about the 20th time.

Here's the #Horsehead nebula from the 7th, using my Antlia Triband Ultra II.
I will soon capture broadband lights to mix in and, I hope, bring the blue and yellow wavelengths out.

Sitting out in the yard trying a new filter. Classic target of the Horsehead & Flame Nebulas. Nice night, about 25C and as yet the wind is staying off. Might do a test run on the Monkey Head Nebula as well.

Sharpcap is doing the stacking not saving any raw frames-- that was an hour of 10 second subs because I had an approx polar alignment due to cloud cover in North and no guide
