Astrophotography

New software, new equipment.

Glad you liked it! It was shot with a Seestar 50. 


Cool . Jeff, the coronal mass ejection at the 5:00 o’clock position is cool. I saw that visually and it looked like a short straight red line like in the capital letter “ Q “. Did not know what it was at first. You did have a lot more clouds than I had. This total solar eclipse is one  of the coolest things I have ever seen. 
 
I agree its a programing language and the only folks I know that mastered it were in the Dallas Club and they all got together often to learn together and share break through along with the little aps. 

Hope you get very accomplished with it and perhaps you can do some classes for CTAS Members. Zoom meeting make learning a lot less difficult.

Thanks Aubrey. I finally figured out it is actually a programming language with a host of processes that one orders into a container to use. Incredibly flexible and powerful but equally difficult to master.

HI Jeff, I am glad someone in CTAS is tackling Pixinsight software. I gave it try two times but did not get past basics stuff. 

Thanks for sharing the Eclipse and you got a great diamond ring.

Aubrey

I have been silent recently because I have been studying hard to learn Pixinsight. The learning curve on that program is about as steep as climbing Mount Everest, but it does amazing things. The other thing I have been working with is the Seestar 50. That is another amazing piece of equipment for only $500. The movie attached is of the eclipse, taken with the Seestar despite a nearly complete overcast and I have a couple of pictures from the Seestar that I processed through Pixinsight as well.
