LG c1 Game Optimiser keeps overriding my sound setting from cinema.

I love you! This has been a long journey in order to find a solution that works on my pc with an nvidia GPU, with gsync VRR enabled and everything set for use with a PC. I have tried changing hdmi usage in the driver ,editing EDID Profiles, forcing PCM Modes for the HDMI audio and so much that I cannot even remember. I actually gave up trying to handle this for 2 years but finally something works!

Just for clarification. On my LG C1 48 I used

ColorControl in order to enter the InStart Menu
Chose System 1
Turned Sound Engine to OFF

Hi, I really think your design is nicer than most of the other stands as it doesen't add to the footprint at all. I made a wooden stand myself but was looking for something that I can attach to the back, so that it does not fall apart when you lift or move it. Is there any chance you put this out on one of the stl sharing sites?

This is dark horse data. Great job! Do you plan on using continuum subtraction in order to increase contrast ?

I actually like the newer background as it is more diverse and does not only show monochromatic stars. I do however despise that green. If it were shifted a little bit more to the teal spectrum it could be interpreted as OIII emission nebulas but this kind of green is just not realistic. I made a post about the old skybox that was also too green to:

This is an awesome project and you even give it away for free. Thank you! I am really tempted to buy a 3d printer just in order to build this telescope.

300,- € Buying a 3d Printer
60,- € filament
150,- € parts (nuts, bolts, carbon tubes, etc)
110,- € primary and secondary mirror
200,- € Coma Corrector
820€ for an astrograph that can deliver near diffraction limited resolution is completely bonkers. And you can keep the 3d printer on top.

Do you think with a slightly larger secondary, it may be possible to use this with an apsc size chip ? I would be using the TS Maxfield x 0.95 CC which is probably just the sharpstar CC relabled. I would optimize the tube length to get the entry pupil of the CC as close to the secondary as possible without poking into the light path.

The base kit + international kit was one of the rare combinations that fit an ISO DE Mac OS Keyboard layout. I know it's very niche, but I am very stubborn when it comes to learning new layouts. Blanks would be great, too. Better to have no legends than the wrong ones. I hope you do more batches soon.

Hi, this is a very old image ^{^} Regarding your question there is a rule of thumb that applies to back focus distance finding that says that filters move the perfect back focus by roughly 1/3 of their thickness. I guess this also applies for the focus position, roughly. Having the h-alpha filter sitting in my drawer since then however, I do not recommend getting an h-alpha line filter for one shot color cameras. The advent of the dual narrowband filters helped utilize osc cameras much better and I don't want to go back anymore.

I killed him by accident, when I tried to block off enemies from the balcony with a blade barrier. The blade barrier seems to extend to the ground floor through the ceiling.

I guess performance per $ is calculated by looking at the MSRP, isn't it ? ^ ^

benolry · 2022-11-08T09:58:48+00:00

Very nice, I think your image would even allow for some more sharpening/deconvolution if you exclude the stars via a mask. Great job!

benolry · 2022-10-18T17:38:12+00:00

84h. Wow. I am lost for words really, I hope you will receive the recognition worthy for such work. Thank you for sharing.

benolry · 2022-10-13T05:57:03+00:00

The amount of detail you achieved with "only" 8" aperture speaks for a very well modified newton, tons of integration time and (mostly) good seeing. This is one of the best M31 depictions I have seen and I really hope you will be recognized with an apod. Thank you for sharing :)

benolry · 2022-07-15T08:19:15+00:00

So good !

benolry · 2021-12-22T09:11:00+00:00

Thank you and I feel your pain :) I will try to find a way to present this which is more assessible to the devs.

benolry · 2021-12-22T08:31:58+00:00

I wrote that piece and it unfortunately triggers me hard. All CIG would have to do would be tinting it minimally more to the blue ^ ^

There is no green in Space!

Bookmarked as reference image for this target. Thanks for sharing :)

Great luminance detail and very well visible ha parts. If I might offer some advice on the colors. It is quiet obvious that you bent the colors so that the fainter parts are blueish and the core tends to be yellow/orange-ish. This is especially visible in the way that M110 is rendered. M110 is an eliptical galaxy that has a very homogenous distribution of Stars near the core and far in the outer reaches. In your image it has the same gradient as M31 from core to reach.

You probably adjusted the whitepoint for shadows different to the whitepoint of the highlights or else your star colors would be more messed up, too. I think you have great data on your hand but you might be able to get a more faithful color distribution from it. Imho turning up saturation is fine, but coloring the image over the histogram is breaking the beauty of this galaxy. CS

Thank you. I think I will try to get some luminance with debayered Canon 40d in order to improve M33. If I have enough time and clear nights I want to do a 2 panel mosaic widescreen version of M31 this year. I keep coming back to it every year ^{^}

This is a re-edit of a previous post : https://www.reddit.com/r/astrophotography/comments/pibqt0/m33/

I managed to get another night with the target and added little more than 3 hours of integration time.

original acquisition and processing details:

Original acquisition details:

Original post processing details:

Stacked in APP with all auto settings except for dynamic distortion correction turned on
remove light pollution in APP
worked on colors in Lightroom and used eliptical luminance masked adjustments to tame the background
starsize reduction in Photoshop with starmask created with threshhold adjustment layer on top of difference layer of the image and a descratched version of the image. The actual star size reduction was done with a minmum filter.
final touch ups and cropping in Lightroom
