I've watched a lot of your videos recently, and despite only having a very very basic knowledge of our galaxy and solar system, after watching some of your tutorials, i made my first cheap DSLR purchase today, im super keen to get out with my two young sons and start taking some pictures 😊
-
Well done Walt. I think your PixInsight tutorials are the best
-
I love that you completely stripped down on the rig!!! Good job!!! Thanks for taking the time!!!!
-
You make this hobby fun!
-
Another great video! Thanks so much for not flying through the processing steps, especially with layers. Im still trying to get the hang of that part.
-
Exactly what i need ty so much
-
Fantastic as always. You do a fantastic job at walking people through the various steps in the respective programs. There's a million and one things you can do with an image, but for anyone wanting to get the simple basics down I can't think of a better person to watch and learn from. I picked up Pixinsight as well a few months back and have no regrets at all. Did you ever start your own Patreon, by the way?
-
Im actually attempting this right now :)

Hi, I've watched a ton of your videos and I find them hilarious and more importantly, very well thought out and informative. I have a Fuji XT-5 and have a 70-300 and a 16 1.4 lens. I've done some basic star trails and one successful milky way session. I'm considering a basic tracker and thinking about the red one you use, it looks compact and easy to use with a simple tripod and camera. Thanks again, I wish I lived in a darker place, lol.
-
Great work, and thank you for the detailed workflows. Are there any filters that could be useful with a non-modified camera to help with clarity or reducing glare?
-
Great video! I refuse to get a tracker until my astro shots are the best they can be without one. Those trackers are expensive and this forces me to learn the basics before I'm allowed to upgrade.
-
Ive been using a non modified DSLR ( canon SL1 ) but just ordered a ZWO ASI294 MC PRO they're $ 100 off right now so I finally pulled the trigger.

awesome

Absolutely brilliant as always Walt. I continue to learn so much from your tutorials. They are so easy to watch and I eagerly await every one of them. I’m not a PixInsight user yet but maybe one day! I’m finding Siril very useful together with PS and many of the plugins that you use. Do you know if the plugins are transferable to PI or do you have to buy them again?
-
Hi Walt, Great video! I'm wondering when you did your calibration frames. You didn't do any Dark Flats frames. Do you use them or are they not needed? Looking forward to your next video. Clear Skies!!!!
-
Nice.
-
I'll be interested to see what results you get with the SeeStar, I'm thinking of getting one. I'm shooting with just a simple tracker and a modified mirrorless camera.
-
Nice. Minor comment. It might be good to mention Bahtinov masks when focusing on a DSLR. I have found it very difficult to get the focus spot on without a Bahtinov mask (or software looking at the FWHM of each star). A for stacking on a MAC, obviously Starry Sky and Landscape Stacker are paid programs but SIRIL is free and you could simply stack your images.
-
Hi, What s about stacking in Sequator ? Is deep sky stacker is better? Thanks
-
on Barnards loop. I think thats how to spell it, try instead of selective color do hue saturation and the check the colorize box and add red to the area masked.
