Want to be the best astrophotographer in our ever-growing community? Of course you do! 😉
Now it’s possible, with Telescope Live Picture of the Day (TLPOD).
Several of PixInsight’s processes use the concept of Wavelet Based Processing to analyze and process astro images. These types of PI processes include:
Multiscale Median Transform (MMT)
I imagine you have ran into a problem with uneven illumination or gradients in some of your images, and sometimes those simply will not calibrate all the way out with flats.
ESA/NASAs Solar Orbiter has made its first closest pass of the sun, revealing clues to the origin of mysterious magnetic switchbacks and how the mechanism of their formation could help accelerate the solar wind.
I have been fascinated by the night sky since I ‘discovered’ Saturn with my 60mm refractor at the age of 10. An APOD-winning astrophotographer, I have been published in Sky & Telescope, Astronomy Magazine, and Space.com. As a NASA Solar System Ambassador, I have conducted thousands of public outreach programs and am a registered cruise ship speaker on astronomy and space science, as well as a Director of the Phoenix Astronomical Society. I frequently post astrophotography images, news, and tutorials on social media. My solar imaging and videos are particularly popular, and I have conducted extensive research on solar cameras and solar image processing techniques.
