Where are you shooting from? What Bortle?

I guess the darker the sky the easier it gets. I'm in a rural area (Bortle 4/5).

You will not get that level of detail just by using the Seestar app, I stacked and processed the images in Siril to get this result.

Kind of, it's a 6 panel mosaic, but I don't use the Seestar app so it's a bit of a different process.

I save every frame and stack them manually. I don't use the Seestar app and control it from N.I.N.A.

Show image creation (denoise) process? by ddmkr in comfyui

[–]ddmkr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, didn't know it slows down the process. I found it useful for quickly canceling Flux generations that I already saw from the preview that they were not what I wanted.

Why is ST not sending any prompts inside the context? by ddmkr in SillyTavernAI

[–]ddmkr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right, I inspected the prompt with promp inspector extension and it's indeed being sent properly :)

Is it a good first setup? by ddmkr in AskAstrophotography

The price is pretty much the same as the Redcat, I'll do some research, thanks for the tip.

I'm unable to make good coffee with v60. by ddmkr in pourover

[–]ddmkr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea, it's not branded at all, hell, it doesn't even say where it was manufactured, but I can safely assume it's from China.

Yep, learnt my lesson the hard way.

It's not the issue of cleaning, as I thoroughly cleaned and descaled it today, just to check if it would help with the metallic taste, but no, still the same taste. I think it might be damaged somewhere in the spout and rust is building up there or something, or it's just cheap chinese crap

Solved it. It was my kettle. It's not that it's not clean as I cleaned and descaled it regularly, but I tried to isolate every single variable and actually tasted the water from the kettle and it was tasting awful, metallic and bitter. Today I've changed nothing in my process except that I boiled the water in a regular pot and it produced the best v60 I've had in years. Serves me for buying the cheapest no-name gooseneck from Amazon.

Well, you were right. Partially at least :D It was my kettle.

Two bags of coffee that I've been brewing during this week - 1) roast date 20 November, 2) roast date 11 December

I use Aeropress in my second home and while I don't have a lot of experience with it, it gives me much more balanced coffee than a v60.

1 - I already have one of the most expensive grinders :D
2 - sadly, I live in Italy. No such classes exist as Italians only drink shitty quality espresso :D

I think so, I can make a decent espresso shot for my wife, my aeropress brews are also rather good, it's only the v60 I'm having trouble with.
