I just joined to see if I can use and like Roboscope. I’m going to call my first test a success since it demonstrates a newbie can get reasonably good data without a real clue as to what they are doing. I have been learning by processing data on a few DSOs captured on a rented telescope in the Utah desert. Those were high quality data sets so the images are nice and I have able to learn a bit about processing. This will give me a chance to learn about making my own choices on target, equipment, and settings. I setup my first project on the fly while packing for a trip to the beach- a couple of hours of the Pelican Nebula in 120 seconds subs on Pier 11.
I couldn’t resist giving it a look, although working on PCs at home over Chrome Remote from an iPad is a PITA, exacerbated by the fact that the faster of my two machines chose this morning to not come back from an update. In any event, I was unable to get Siril going through it’s built in OSC preprocessing script or Sirilic. I will have to wait until I get home to figure that out. I did get an output through DSS but it’s grayscale instead of RGB. I think I will wait till I get home to figure that out. Rather than mess around with Siril to stretch my mono image, I just gave it a quick stretch in Gimp. The result looks pretty good to my naive eyes. I will take a bit more care on object #2 when I get home.
