Seeing Stars - Advanced Siril
Tutorial Room B | Wed 21 Jan 1:30 p.m.–3:10 p.m.
Presented by
Abstract
Last time you got to know the siril basics, to easily process your astronomical images. This time, dive into the more advanced functionality to get the absolute most out of your data with the latest version of siril.
You will process provided (or your own, if you have it) astrophotography data shot with narrow-band filters and learn to use advanced processing techniques. You will use the quality analysis tools to find and discard not-quite-right subs, stack, stretch, remove noise, sharpen, tweak and fiddle to create a stunning image that will be yours to keep.
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.
This tutorial will see you process video of the surface of the Moon, a mosaic of SeeStar images, and some narrowband deep sky data or potentially something else if you have specific things you would like to learn and we have time.
Preparation
To participate in this tutorial you will need a relatively beefy computer with siril 1.4 installed. For extra joy and pretty pictures, you will also download and install starnet++ and graxpert for use with siril.
If you plan on attending, please download the sample data before Everything Open, so there is not a room full of people all fetching a 3+ GB zipball at the same time via the conference wifi.

You can choose to use your own data if you wish. Ensure you have a set of lights, darks, biases and flats and/or lunar or planetary video and/or a set of raw seestar or dwarf or other roboscope images.
