One a post a couple weeks back I had someone ask about weighting the Ha channel with a multiplier since I mentioned that I did that in processing the image I posted, so here is a quick post showing how to do it in APP and

Deconvolution is one of PixInsight’s most powerful programs, but it is also one that takes some time to understand how to effectively use it, especially for beginners to astro image processing.

In early August, Tanmoy Laskar et al submitted a paper documenting their observation of the gamma ray burst event, SGRB 211106A.

The red giant star Betelgeuse has recently been observed by astronomers slowly repairing the damage caused from the infamous ‘great dimming’ event in 2019.

As you probably know by now, our core mission is to make astrophotography more accessible to professionals and enthusiasts across the globe.

Sometimes we get an image that has some stars that have somehow gotten so big that it normal star shrinking actions will not do much for them.

Australia has made its mark in the search for dark matter, successfully completing the first run of the Oscillating Resonant Group AxioN (ORGAN) experiment and ruling out a type of axion that could make up the mysterious

The developments in the technology and methodology behind the identification of black holes continue as paper published on the 15th of July, headed by Tomer Shenar, outlines the identification of a dormant blac

Today is podium day!

Masking is a mystery to some people when processing their astrophotos. It doesn’t have to be. I must admit, I am not a big fan of the masking tools in PixInsight.

Telescope Live has quite a bit of data from SPA-1, SPA-3,. and AUS-2. They are all Takahashi FSQ 106 setups that have been reduced to 380mm focal length, I imagine using the matched Takahashi .73 reducer for that scope.

Many of our members on this Telescope Live Page, including me, like to share images we’ve processed with all of our members, not just to show work we’re particularly proud of but also to show what can be done with Telesco
