Peter has been doing various sorts of astrophotography for years and recently became a professional, after inadvertently selling a print of a photo online.
Abstract
You have a camera and a tripod, or a telescope with a camera, and you want to produce beautiful deep sky images. But all you get are grey blurs or white dot stars on a beige background. In this tutorial you will find out how to optimise your data acquisition and how to use siril to process that data once you have it.
Even if you have a robotic telescope that does all the stacking and processing for you, you will learn how to use the raw data your robot produces and create much better looking results.
To participate in this tutorial you will need a relatively beefy computer with siril installed. For extra joy and pretty pictures, you will also download and install starnet++ for use with siril. A curated set of image data for you to play with will be provided as download prior to Everyting Open, so you do not need to try to download 1.5GB of data as we start.
You can choose to use your own data if you wish. Ensure you have a set of lights, darks, biases and flats.
