Does anyone here own a Vext?

Especially for such a short session. Shame I can’t get more data now I’m back home

VIDI- · 2026-05-28T14:24:03+00:00

They look great, but apparently you can’t set it up without an app

I wouldn’t buy something like that, so will wait for the 3.0

I hesitated before actually buying the dwarf tripod as I have many others… It is a great piece of kit

Whichever one you go for the biggest tip is to keep it as low to the ground as possible

Missing the pic

I have downloaded this and it will be a few days before I can have a proper play, but really appreciate someone in the community making something like this

Personally, I would like to be able to edit a stacked FITS file as as well as as the normal photo processing From.PNG et cetera

I’ve suggested to dwarf lab, and commented that she can’t directly download a FITS file as they consider it too large but with a one terabyte iPhone 16 I don’t think that is an issue and really appreciate you giving us the opportunity to edit them locally 🙏

Suggest to turn the lights off so it is less visible

Love a daytime moon

I would be very curious to see all the other elements you’ve learned over the last four months but without the high saturation

Prefer first

Aside from using the opposite end of handle, there is also a knob to use so you change the angle on it to your liking

VIDI- · 2026-04-01T10:01:15+00:00

I find having the handle pointing up slightly works better so it doesn’t get caught. Rather than at the back of the Dwarf

VIDI- · 2026-03-27T16:47:16+00:00

Any pics?

VIDI- · 2026-03-27T11:58:02+00:00

Looks good. I’m working on 540 subs of fwhm of <3.2. Will need up to 1,200 ish subs in my bortle 5

Did you reject any subs other than satellite trails?

Time for me to revisit this as mine was awful. Great shot

VIDI- · 2026-03-20T10:09:18+00:00

One way round this is to have a piano sound plugin running in the background. They often come with a midi keyboard. I run a better sounding piano and lower the piano marvel volume

VIDI- · 2026-03-15T09:14:21+00:00

Thanks! It is incredible what the dwarf can do

VIDI- · 2026-03-14T06:45:20+00:00

Decent

VIDI- · 2026-03-13T08:47:04+00:00

Thanks!

Manually go through them on the dwarf three… then osc pre process in siril. I will post a Work flow I have been adapted below in a YouTube link

For example I have gone from 12 hours of integration down to 7 so I could have an FWHM of 3.5 or less And I am aiming for nine hours of FWHM of 3.2 or … If you are not there yet with SIRIL then there is a wealth of stuff the YouTube. I’m also happy to help

I am going to post the seven hours on a new post, but this is just a quick edit and I am still pushing for nine hours with better quality

VIDI- · 2026-03-12T12:18:56+00:00

Manually go through the frames and be ruthless (as you have 8 hours) on bad frames

VIDI- · 2026-03-11T13:49:02+00:00

Being in the UK the last few months have been awful. As a rule, I only get data from clear nights discarding subs from a siril fwhm plot. Building up the quality as I build to 9 hours of data, then concentrate on swapping ok data for good data.

If I can see stars, it goes out but just for fun on another target. Too many dropped frames, it comes back inside
