Pixelated horse

[Peter Ward]

Decided to give some old data some new Pixinsight treatment.

As Fred indicated elsewhere, coming to grips with Pixinsight is a about as much fun as, a sharp stick in the eye, or shards of bamboo under the fingernails :) ...but if you can work through the pain....it can pay dividends.

That is an incredible work of art -- I love the panoramic crop, it really works.

I love the monochrome already as is; dare I ask if you have colour data for this, too?

Really nice!

[h0ughy]

so how does that compare to your non PI effort Peter?

[Larryp]

That's superb, Peter

Nice curtain at the back of the horse.

Get some colour!

Ta... Probably not for a while....

Rid'em cowboy!

Local contrast is higher...PI has a function for that :thumbsup:

Thanks Mike



Thanks H... never got the colour data...due the typical cloud cover across Sydney that time of year.

That said, the Honders gets data about 4x quicker than the 155....perhaps 2013-14 will be my year of the horse :question:

Masochist!!! Doubt I'll be trying PI again (for a 3rd time) :scared2: BTW, does it have a dark halo removal action? ;)

Nice overall result though Peter, no doubt! :thumbsup:

Top work Peter. :thumbsup: A visual feast indeed...but I'm still hungry. As others suggest some colour would make for a superb desert. The structure in the curtain is stunning. Kudos for working with PI and not coming out disheartened and with bruised ribs. Well done.

[Peter Ward]

Humm colour eh? Reminds me of Dr Smith from Lost in Space: "oh..the pain..the pain"




I have a hump?!... err dark halo?? :lol:

That is incredibly beautiful. I've always preferred non-colour versions of this. What a GREAT FOV.

wow, gaud, what a shock when that poped up on the screen, amazing. Most excellent Peter, just jaw dropping.

I admire your persaverance with PI, you are masochist, and thats a good thing I think.

PI doesnt have the noise tracking feature Startools has, it just ditches that valuable data so you can spend far more time processing and creating masterpieces like this, all good.

What we need, is an all out app war, you know, fanboy havoc ;-)

Thanks Fred. :) Pardon the pun but horses for courses for me...

I *still* use CCDops for data collection, SBIG's native code has the lowest hysteresis of Auto-Guide routines bar none IMHO.

OK I'm warming to the pain of PI for calibration...though I must admit Maxim still rules for me there.

PS6.0 for the rest....(BTW Adobe can shove their cloud subscription...)





Ta. and agreed, it's hard to beat the art-house look of straight h-alpha.
