    An absolute beginner in taking sky pictures I have watched quite a number of videos telling what to do with Siril. Yours is the only one I have watched so far that not only tell me what to do but also why. This helps me to make sense of what I am doing and not just following the steps. I guess equipped with the whys I will have more confidence in tweaking the steps to adjust to my particular situations. Thanks so much for the video. Please produce some more, and if possible, more for beginners like me.

    Exceptional tutorial DSA, thank you. I'm a beginner in astrophotography (but not in visual astronomy), and while I got decent results after 10 minutes total integration on the Running Man and Orion Nebula, the Flame and Horsehead weren't nearly as persuasive. I was actually practising EAA in SharpCap at the time for both targets and was amazed by the stacked images of the Great Orion Nebula after so short a time. Never seen anything like it at the eyepiece - a revelation.

    THANK YOU! After watching no less than 100 other videos, THIS was the one that actually went straight through the Siril/Photoshop process in a generic way. I'm just starting out with a SeeStar, with plans to upgrade, so all the usual references to DSLR, narrowband, filtering etc. were NOT missed, and I could learn a "standard" workflow. I can finally get a decent image using these two tools, and that is completely due to this video. Have to say though, it would be nice to see it with the latest version of Siril, and how you'd use whatever new features are there for Denoising, since the Topaz plugin is no longer available without buying the entire Topaz product.

    This is really a good tutorial. I am struggling with how to leverage this help in getting my images taken with my monochrome camera using each of my narrowband filters into a color image. I have fit images for H, O, S, and L filters taken with the monochrome camera and I want to stack them and then work on post processing to get the Hubble colors. I tried the mono preprocessing without flats script, and I am really impressed with the quality of the stacking but not sure how to do anything further with the final fit result file because there are no separate channels. If you have a video on this that would be great.

    First of all to get the best possible final image you absolutely need your calibration frames (darks, biases, & flats) With that being said Siril does have a script that will stack only your light frames without needing those calibration frames.

Possibly even in conference rooms fueled by pizza and soda pop to incentivize attendance. Just wanted to congratulate you, your video seems to be a cut above the others available on you tube.

    Yeh, that's me. I ran across your tutorial about a week ago when I was riding the struggle bus trying to image M101 with a cropped sony on a consumer grade tripod and a vintage 500mm lens. Long story short, my focus was slightly off, the shutter times were quick, so my images were dim and not sharp. Sequator could not align them, so I decided to try Siril, started watching tutorials, most were pretty lame. Found yours, realized I might recognize the voice. Went to your channel, found a vid, saw who you were, figured it out. I think if you keep at it, you could grow your channel. So keep at it. Regards, JT.

    I got a Sony A6300 back in 2018 so I could use my Minolta lenses for traditional photography, but was too busy with work to use it much. In 2020 I got a few vintage lenses and was using it for wildlife, landscape, and street. Astronomy also a hobby; so that summer, I started with the moon and had some success, tried the planets but I really didn't have the right equipment. Tried Andromeda in 2021, got the planetary alignment, but I didn't really want to go down the stacking rabbit hole, so I set it aside for a while. This winter I wanted to try some Milky Way, but it was out of season, so I decided to skill up with deep sky targets until the summer. So I tried Orion first at 135mm, and that kind of worked. So I wanted to retry Andromeda, but it was too low, so I looked for a higher target, and picked the Pinwheel. I may one or two Bortle 2 camping trips this spring.

    Great tutorial. Just one question, when doing color calibration photometric, should the focal distance take acount the cropping factor of the sensor? I ask/suggest this because I have faced problems with my Canon M200 and Samyang 135. also, when I photograph with a 50mm, color calibration doesn't work.

    If you're heavily cropping the plate solve could fail during calibration. Try calibrating before cropping if you're having issues. Color calibration will have a hard time with wide FOV like 50mm.

    I meant to also say if you're on Android search for "Intervalometer Canon" in the Play Store.There are a few apps out there for this.

I was able to process an image of M31 with no issues, but then I did another set of subs on a different night same settings I always use just longer exposure. Each time I go to process I get an error "Images must have same dimensions" ?? Using all the same equipment ASI Air Plus and AM5 Mount same scope etc. ANy insight would be greatly appreciated

    I wish there was an equivelant video for LRGB processing with Siril. I decided to go mono and now i can't find any tutorials that actually show what to do between DSS and Siril. My first light with the camera was full of pitfalls, so my data is few and now the best. Where i really lose you is when i stretch my levels, it splits my RGB histograms apart and i lose all my background. Yours seems to stay level.

    Excellent video for beginners like me. I need help with Siril and hope you can guide me. I am using MacOs and when I start the process using “OSC_Preprocessing” Siril prompts me with below message 0:15:33: Running command: requires 10:15:33: # Convert Bias Frames to .fit files 10:15:33: Running command: cd 10:15:33: Setting CWD (Current Working Directory) to '/Users/me/Pictures/M42/biases' 10:15:33: Running command: convert 10:16:33: Cannot create output folder: ../process 10:16:33: Error in line 26 ('convert'): generic error. 10:16:33: Exiting batch processing. 10:16:33: Setting CWD (Current Working Directory) to '/Users/me/Pictures/M42' 10:16:33: Script execution failed. My guess it has something to do with the biases so what I did is I took the biases and flats out and run Siril with “OSC_Preprocessing_WithoutFlat”. Then I get below from Siril 10:19:38: Running command: requires 10:19:38: # Convert Dark Frames to .fit files 10:19:38: Running command: cd 10:19:38: Setting CWD (Current Working Directory) to '/Users/me/Pictures/M42/darks' 10:19:38: Running command: convert 10:20:38: Cannot create output folder: ../process 10:20:38: Error in line 23 ('convert'): generic error. 10:20:38: Exiting batch processing. 10:20:38: Setting CWD (Current Working Directory) to '/Users/me/Pictures/M42' 10:20:38: Script execution failed.

You have to use the button in the top-right corner. It's not the Save button, it's the button with the arrow right next to it.
