Plate Solving and Photometric Color Calibration in Siril

In this two-part tutorial by Alexander Curry, he discusses the use of plate solving to calculate the field of view and target location based on the geometrical relationship between the stars within the image. Following this, Alex demonstrates how to use photometric color calibration (PCC) to correct the color balance of your image using the results from plate solving. Part 1 of this tutorial covers the introduction to plate solving and configuring Siril with the star catalog files required for plate solving and PCC. Part 2 discusses setting up plate solving necessary for running PCC. This section also explores various methods for determining the astrometric solution for your image, should you be solving "blind."

Solar Image Editing Primer: Everything You Need to Know for Post-Processing Solar Images

In this tutorial, Telescope Live tutor Mark Johnston will introduce you to processing solar images using data available on Telescope Live. Mark will guide you through a four-part process, helping you understand how solar images are obtained, as well as the stacking process that prepares the files for Telescope Live. With this raw data, Mark will navigate you through a series of software, providing an overview of each and explaining its crucial role in processing your final solar image. This tutorial series is an important primer for anyone looking to delve into solar astrophotography editing, as it involves a completely different workflow from other types of image editing. It requires a specific set of free software in addition to your standard image editing software to fully utilize your solar data.
