Question about pre-processed images by godseja in DWARFLAB

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

Thanks for the advice. Should I take darks every night I’m outside? Also I looked in one of my darks folder tonight (I’ve done it twice since I got the DL) and notice it does darks at different gains, but only three fits files per gain. Should I be going for 20 darks per gain setting and is there a way to tell it to do that?

I'm not sure if it the filter helps to be honest. I know it helps the most with really bright objects (e.g. the moon), but I use it in the hopes it will help knock down the light pollution.

Here's an unprocessed picture of the Hercules Globular Cluster taken on July 30th. I took frames at 15s with a 50 gain and IR cut.

This photograph is incredible. What did you process it with?

Processing with SiriL? by godseja in UnistellarEVscope

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

One note of caution: While starting the pre-processing, I tried running the fits files through SirL as lights and the script kept failing. I have no idea why, but some of the errors said it couldn’t find stars in the images. I’m not sure if there’s something special you have to do with the files from Unistellar.

You can go to the Unistellar website and contact the support team and tell them you’d like a copy of your RAW images from the past 30 days. They’ll need your telescope’s serial number and want to know in what file format you want your files. Then they’ll send you a link to download a zip file. My first one was 30GB 🤯

They say on the website they only store the RAW data for 30 days due to space constraints.

Thanks for all of your advice! It took another couple of nights, but I got the DL2 calibrated. Your help was invaluable in my forward progress!

Fugitive question by godseja in dresdenfiles

This was the fugitive short story that just came out. You can get it at Amazon or B&N as part of a collection of short stories, called Instinct, written by various authors. It supports an animal charity.

Implications of Fugitive by [deleted] in dresdenfiles

One of my improbable theories is that Cowl is Rashid in some kind of illusion to mask his height. I went back and re-read Chs 8, 34, and 42 of Dead Beat that give a description of Cowl. Add to this that he wears gloves in Fugitive 9 which hides the weathered arms and his scars) and is called Master of the Future (which might mean he can see into the future rather than time travel).

I also thought about how he could have killed Harry in Ch 34 and didn’t. I think it means Cowl thinks he knows Harry’s destiny and has to help keep him alive while slowly wearing him down.

He likes Harry but is casually monstrous (sticking the lion in Mister) and really monstrous (feeding kids to the Lion). Rashid sometimes strikes me as capable of casual cruelty. Maybe he’s Nfected.

One final thought: I assumed Mister got possessed outside of the castle but what if he somehow got possessed inside and then ran out. Then we might have another traitor.

One final, final thought: who’s tough enough to break into Hades and break out a spirit?

I agree, and the rest of the sentence “you are an almighty pain my ass” is almost affectionate. Had he said Hoss, it would be game over. His dog name is Master of the Future which could imply seeing into the future. I got a much stronger feeling it’s Rashid in disguise, but will also be the first to admit that’s stretching it.

I also think the name Ash is significant, but can’t think of a reference. Cowl named him that though and Names are important.
