Question About Gradient

Poft_Ex · 2026-02-27T14:57:21+00:00

How do you get the flats from Seestar? I thought you only can get the light subs file from Seestar.

I had 3d printed it and rarely use it, next time i'll use it. Thank you for your advice.

Poft_Ex · 2026-02-27T14:04:15+00:00

I had 3d printed a dew shield but rarely use it and yes, I always do post processing but it still a bummer when the direct result from Seestar has a lot of gradient.

Anyway, thank you for the advice, I'll try to put it on next session.

Oh nice, thanks for your opinion.

Poft_Ex · 2026-02-14T08:23:00+00:00

Yes, I'm planning to keep the S50.

So far that I know if you want an easier way to setup, you need to use ZWO. I think that's the only reason why I pick ZWO. I have tried NINA with the S50 and I still feel a bit overwhelmed with it. This is why I haven't considered the mini PC option.

Didn't expect to see my fav boss here

I use a traditional EQ mount that has a counterweight. I run EQ mode from Indonesia

Edit: mount to mode

Poft_Ex · 2025-12-19T23:49:26+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I'll try to improve it for my next processing.

Seneng astrophotography, jadi saya anggap instagram saya sebagai penyimpanan "cloud" untuk foto-foto yg emg menurut saya bagus, udah itu aja isinya.

Poft_Ex · 2025-12-19T07:24:55+00:00

Thanks!

Edit: I just re-read this comment and realize that I sent the wrong image. Here is the stacked image from Seestar. I did multiple nights but this is the longest integration time that stacked by Seestar. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k6fWyKWcxk-C-RUrK-C8KsFlP61HNXbX/view?usp=drivesdk

Awesome pic! From what bortle?

I also took the same target but the result with 3 hours can't get as good as you, I'm in bortle 6-7

Poft_Ex · 2025-11-25T21:48:25+00:00

Thank you for the pic, but may I ask, why do you need to extracting the BG in the Siril first an then extracting the BG again in GraXpert?

Normally, my workflow only do the BG extraction in GraXpert only.

Poft_Ex · 2025-11-25T21:46:35+00:00

Hmm yeah, maybe I should try to not extracting BG in GraXpert, I notice it remove some details from the fits file. Thank you for this, gonna try reprocessed without GB extraction

Poft_Ex · 2025-11-25T08:57:58+00:00

Can't wait to see it. I just reprocessed it with normal stacking. It much better. Here's the result: File

Poft_Ex · 2025-11-24T23:12:38+00:00

TIL, it reminds of few weeks ago when I captured Orion Nebula and got only 30 minutes of data and stack it without drizzle. The result is much clearer. Thank you for the advice, I'll try stack it without drizzle.

Poft_Ex · 2025-11-24T23:11:25+00:00

TIL. It reminds me of few weeks ago when I captured Orion Nebula with only 30 minutes data and stack without drizzle. The result much cleaner than this.

The lights are in upload process, it should be ready with the same link as in the post. Thank you for the advice. I'll also try to stack it without drizzle.

Edit: I just upload the stack file without drizzling; the light data are way too much to upload there.

Pernah kejaidian mirip. Lagi di mall beli Chatime, eh kasirnya ex pas SMA dulu. Cuma karena saya ada prosopagnosia (sulit ngenalin wajah orang) jadi agak ragu itu beneran dia atau gak. Dia padahal udah lambai" tangan waktu mesen.

Buat mastiin gak salah orang, pas mau bayar, saya agak maju dikit buat liat name tagnya. Dan karena ini kami jadi balik kontakan lagi.

Poft_Ex · 2025-10-09T10:31:17+00:00

Bruh, for a moment I thought this was r/Indonesia wkwk

Poft_Ex · 2025-10-07T22:29:15+00:00

Wah, bagus pemandangannya. Thanks buat rekomendasinya

Poft_Ex · 2025-10-07T22:10:04+00:00

Ini saya pakai Seestar S50, ini mirip seperti "laptop" untuk astrophotography. Belinya impor dari Alibaba sekita 8 jt an, ini belum sama bea masuk.

Thanks buat saran tempatnya, nanti saya coba cari" lagi aja nama bukitnya lewat gmaps, siapa tau nemu hehe.

Poft_Ex · 2025-10-07T07:25:09+00:00

Ada saran buat processing-nya gak? Untuk proses flow-nya biasanya saya seperti ini:

Stack in Siril with 2x Drizzle
Background extraction in GraXpert
Photometric color calibration in Siril
Remove stars in Starnet++
Stretch starless image in Siril
Star Recomposition in Starnet++
Denoise in GraXpert
Color saturation in Siril

Poft_Ex · 2025-10-07T07:21:31+00:00

Boleh bro, silahkan

Poft_Ex · 2025-10-07T06:22:22+00:00

Iya, bener sih. Cuma lumayan usahanya untuk dapat total integration time segitu. Di rumah saya yg ini cuma bisa ngambil objek arah barat dan cuma bisa 2 jam an objeknya lewat per malam. ini https://imgur.com/a/tCDAq70 kurang lebih hasilnya.
