    As a complete amateur, I've been getting pretty frustrated in trying to make Autostakkert and other Windows-based tools work on Mac for astrophotography via Crossover, so this was EXTREMELY helpful.The scenario you spent some time working on (not having flats, darks, or bias frames) also happened to be my exact predicament. I'll do these going forward, but wanted to give Siril as a go without them as a sort of proof of concept before investing much more time. Thank you, Kamil. I'll be checking out your other videos.

  • @mbioman
    @mbioman2 жыл бұрын

    Excellent. The script tutorial was very helpful. To resolve the issue with photometric calibration, adjust the focal distance and pixel size either typing them in manually or using "get metadata from image" found just below those boxes. This has worked for me every time so far going through over 100 different DSOs.

  • @ascaniosobrero

    Consider that in a previous SiriL release (0.9.12-1) there were already scripts to process lights without some of the other calibration files (DSLR_Preprocessing_NoDark.ssf, DSLR_Preprocessing_NoFlat_NoDark_NoBias.ssf, DSLR_Preprocessing_NoFlat_NoDark.ssf, DSLR_Preprocessing_NoFlat.ssf)

    I am brand new to this stuff and only have "lights" photos. I have no way of creating the steps so I don't have to produce the other "biases", "darks", and "flats" folders. Is there an easy step by step way where I can run the stacking only using my "lights" photos? The explanation in the video was over my head.

You have given me light (pun intended ) at the end of this very dark tunnel. Thank you x10000000 for introducing me to Siril. Quick question.

The requirement for this script is Bias, Flats, Darks and of course Lights be in separate subdirectories of the Siril Working directory….However, it would be so good to have an alternate version of this script that would allow one to choose which calibration frames to use or a script that would allow the use of only Darks as a calibration requirement.

    Siril has to be (and I am a software engineer) the most convoluted and badly designed application I have encountered in the last couple of years. All I want to do is stack some images and there is no obvious and clear way of doing so in fact its GUI is so confusing and chaotic that I have almost given up with it. I have had to drag my images into the app because for some reason they forgot to add the ability to search USB / SD cards ?!? And even then there was no clear way to start stacking. While the alternatives are pay for software at this point I think they are worth it, no one wants to write scripts thats why we have an app with a GUI..... Whoever came up with this software is completely clueless.
