Fantastic demo. I just got PI with the RC and other free tools and this is the first video I watched and you made it easy to follow.
I really like the approach to picking your symmetry points!
Great video Luke ππ» love that workflow. I became a pixinsight lover, especially the RC tools. Such a nice result mate ππ»cheers π»
Wow!!… I've never stretched my data this far! I've always thought it ruined the image, but with this workflow, I've been going back over old data and giving it the Lukomatico treatment..
This has really given my data a new lease of life!!
Thanks Pal
Andy
Thank you for the demo. Will have to give this method a try with the next target.
Thank you for nice trick Luke san !!
This video helped me understand gsh better. Thank you very much.
Great tutorial as always, Thanks Luke! Question: the corners (to me) look more like color noise than dust but of course that's just my eye and I am probably wrong. Is there a way to be able to tell the difference when stretching?
This is super helpful, Luke! Excellent workflow and instruction. Oh, and beautiful result! π
Your star stretch method is pretty slick, Luke. Typically, I extract the stars when linear and deal with the starry and starless images separately. Your approach gets the stars to where you want them right off the bat, so you can then deal with just the starless data. If there's one axiom that holds true for processing astrophotography data, it's "everything in moderation". It's all about the little tweaks. Nudge this value. Now, nudge that value. Don't try to just get it all done in a single adjustment.
Great image Luke!
I love your tutorials. But I felt you rushed through the image solver process. I am unable to get past this function due to errors. I even copy your screen numbers to no avail. I do use the 2600 so 3.76 I know is correct. When I use image solver on my files it runs smoothly with no errors.
Your videos have taught me a lot.
This video is frustrating when you have your face overlay in the lower right-hand corner overly large. Yes, we can see the phases of the moon, your guitar, and the microphone arm. But I'd rather see PixInsight's controls you are selecting that are hidden underneath.
Great tutorial Luke, thanks for sharing your knowledge mate
Great effort. Definitely an advert for dark skies though π
Excellent work as always Luke. It's interesting to see how everyone processes their images as we all do it in different ways.
You are a magician!
Great stuff mate almost makes me want to revisit my data of this target as I shot it with the RASA & it looked like your auto stretch so much to learn lol.
Clear skies mate
Nice video mate
Fantastic stuff – just in time, as I'm about to start a very long integration project on M78 with my Askar 120APO + Artemis-C. This is going to be good practice to make sure I'm getting the most from the data that I capture in the next couple of months!
