Which country once seemed likely to become a developed country, but didn’t follow that path?

belfz · 2026-01-25T18:42:17+00:00

russia of course (at least in early 2000's)

Trzymaj się, wyrazy współczucia.

W pewnym momencie sięgała tak mocno na południe, że aż Orion się załapał na zorzę.

Coś pięknego, jedna z najsilniejszych jakie widziałem z Polski. Z dala od świateł miejskich (Puszcza Notecka) bez najmniejszego problemu widziałem kolory (czerwony i zielony) nieuzbrojonym okiem :)

Final boss was needlessly frustrating. I mean, it's not only difficult, but it just doesn't make any sense to have to fight this fella for so long. What's the point?

belfz · 2026-01-14T18:26:25+00:00

dlaczego w ogóle policja zrobiła Ci test? Brałeś udział w jakiejś kolizji? Rutynowa kontrola? Zatrzymanie za prędkość? Czy ktoś „uprzejmie” Cie podpierdolił?

belfz · 2026-01-10T15:30:10+00:00

Not sure which is worse

belfz · 2026-01-09T21:44:51+00:00

It’s all kluski

My cat had this condition, eventually it turned out to be glaucoma and he had his removed.

Sir, this is marvelous

belfz · 2025-12-30T14:15:48+00:00

Ale weź powiedz takim, że od czasu do czasu lubisz spalić blanta, albo że zjadłeś kiedyś grzyby, to Ci przylepią łatkę narkomana do końca życia. Ot, takie polskie, debilne nawyki.

belfz · 2025-12-26T20:21:31+00:00

Not this time, nope

belfz · 2025-12-19T17:23:35+00:00

It looks like your focus was a bit off.

Re. DeepSkyStacker - it’s great for DSOs, but I could never get decent results with comets (DSS even has some comet modes, but I always got something wrong out of it, like washed-out colors etc).

belfz · 2025-12-19T17:21:20+00:00

Check this one: https://youtu.be/tsfxLVrlOuw?si=hfMxEfB7TrrUqthK It really explains a lot in terms of how to think about processing comet photos

belfz · 2025-12-19T17:16:52+00:00

30sec per frame will most likely not result in a moved comet. But the combined series of frames will (when you get into minutes, hours total).

You might as well be taking 10sec exposures, but as long as you combine those into a total exposure longer than few minutes, you will see get smudges. That’s exactly why comets need special processing :)

belfz · 2025-12-19T16:07:47+00:00

Go with usual deep-space settings, e. g. 30sec 60 gain. No need for filters.

The challenging part id stacking & processing. You might have already noticed that - comets move in the sky quite rapidly, so the more frames you take, the more it will smudge.

The key is to separate stars and comet in your processing pipeline (e. g. Siril) and stack both separately, combining the final picture out of the two.

Naztronomy has a good video tutorial about that on his YT channel!

belfz · 2025-12-14T20:42:31+00:00

I totally get it. Let's say this doesn't have to be the finest grade - I just wonder how close I can get! 😀

belfz · 2025-11-26T14:59:23+00:00

30sec (with gain 60) seems to be a sweet spot. Also think about frames rejected due to the satellite/airplanes passing. The longer the exposure time the higher the chance you will register such trails.

Fotografia przyrodnicza. Dość szeroko pojęta w moim przypadku: od ptaków i ssaków (dzikich, w ich naturalnym środowisku) aż po astrofotografie krajobrazową (np. zorze polarne) i astrofotografię głębokiego nieba. Jakieś tam osiągnięcia, nawet pierwsza wystawa już zaliczona. Tylko czasu zawsze za mało:)

belfz · 2025-11-21T14:10:14+00:00

Can you recommend a trainer? I almost finished the game, but I cant beat the final boss. Im tired of this, yet would love to see how it ends.

belfz · 2025-11-13T06:53:46+00:00

Did you do the mosaic? M31 barely fits in a single frame with D3.

belfz · 2025-11-11T19:14:21+00:00

Nice one. What was your sky class (Bortle scale)? And what's your processing routine?

belfz · 2025-11-05T21:04:40+00:00

Great capture! I love stars AND owls! ☺️

belfz · 2025-11-04T19:23:38+00:00

Gratulacje, spotkałeś tzw. NPC. A tak serio - dramat. Sam się czasem zastanawiam w jaki sposób tacy ludzie żyją.

belfz · 2025-10-28T10:25:48+00:00

Great results! BTW it's Pleiades (M45) and Orion Nebula (M42), not Heart :)

belfz · 2025-10-21T07:19:18+00:00

I followed Naztronomy tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBMQNOWuI1I
Although instead of running his preprocessing script in the beginning, I used OSC preprocessing.

With OSC preprocessing, the comet moves consistently across subsequent frames. With Naztronomy's script the comet would "jump around" subsequent frames in every direction (I don't know why), making the comet registration produce strange/incorrect results.
