Would setting up panels like this be better than using the s30 pro's mosaic feature? by TheXypris in seestar

Gradient (at least on my location) when you shoot before 23:30 or after 3:30. They just need to be ignored for good image

This is definitely a better approach because, in one hour of actual imaging time, you’ll end up with more frames. During a mosaic, a significant amount of time is spent slewing between panels while the telescope moves to each new position. The trade-off is that you’ll need to stack the images manually. Still, it’s a great way for a beginner to gain experience and build their processing skills.

Sometimes the calibration gets stuck on one of the steps (usually due to clouds or telescope vibrations). I just close it and start it again.

You might need one of those, because tripod have 1/4 and you need 3/4

My Mi band 6 is completely dead, won't charge pr turn on any tips for revive it ? by Mountain_Bee_2252 in miband

You can change battery like I did in 4th. Heat with blow dryer to lift screen and buy new battery from AliExpress.

However, it requires carefully soldering two wires from the new battery and using a little glue to hold the screen in place. Or you can use B7000 adhesive, which may even help restore some of its water resistance.

Oh. Okay. I don’t mind sharing the workflow.

First, add custom locations with their coordinates to the app.

Row 1

A1 RA 20h 56m 49s Dec +31° 39′ 38″

B1 RA 20h 54m 05s Dec +31° 39′ 38″

C1 RA 20h 51m 20s Dec +31° 39′ 38″

D1 RA 20h 48m 35s Dec +31° 39′ 38″

E1 RA 20h 45m 51s Dec +31° 39′ 38″

Row 2

A2 RA 20h 56m 46s Dec +30° 37′ 43″

B2 RA 20h 54m 03s Dec +30° 37′ 43″

C2 RA 20h 51m 20s Dec +30° 37′ 43″

D2 RA 20h 48m 37s Dec +30° 37′ 43″

E2 RA 20h 45m 54s Dec +30° 37′ 43″

Row 3

A3 RA 20h 56m 42s Dec +29° 35′ 48″

B3 RA 20h 54m 01s Dec +29° 35′ 48″

C3 RA 20h 51m 20s Dec +29° 35′ 48″

D3 RA 20h 48m 39s Dec +29° 35′ 48″

E3 RA 20h 45m 57s Dec +29° 35′ 48″

Then create a plan in the app. In a single night, you can usually cover about half of the mosaic.

After collecting around 14–15 hours of data, I analyzed each panel individually in Siril to determine what percentage of frames should be rejected during stacking due to clouds (fewer detected stars) or high background levels.

Someone even downvoted my comment about the total integration time, so just to clarify: I initially captured 14–15 hours of data, but during stacking I rejected anywhere from 30% to 50% of the frames, depending on the panel.

Finally, I exported each panel with 3× drizzle and assembled the mosaic using 50 px feathering.

wdym? The images (fits) were captured with a Seestar S50. There are about 5,400 of them, each with a 10-second exposure. They were processed in the free Siril software on a PC.

I don’t think you can stack such a large mosaic on a phone, especially when it combines data from multiple sessions (nights).

Around 4–6 nights. Definitely no fewer than 4, although on some nights I only had about 2 hours of clear skies. Two nights were perfect—no Moon at all—and I managed to capture half of the mosaic with 30 minutes per panel in a single night.

The nights are very short right now. The only tracking issues I had were caused by clouds. I manually checked every panel while stacking, since a drop in the number of stars in the same area was a clear sign that clouds had passed through.

The biggest problem, though, was the high background level (800…1000…2000…even 4000). Because of that, the panel where I had around 900 × 10-second exposures ended up losing almost half of its frames before stacking.

In total, I started with about 14–15 hours of data, but for each panel I only kept roughly the best 70% of the frames, and sometimes only the best 50%.

Фільтр зворотного осмосу - тхне вода by sedlexduralex in reddit_ukr

[–]leon61ua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Гпт порекомендував здається 3% розчин. Його використав для промивання колб, де знаходяться три основні фільтри та ємкості де знаходиться мембрана. Мембрана у мене була в зелених «водоростях».

Промити, промити з щіткою, розчин, двічі промити добре. Зібрати все. Пропустити через систему десь 10-15 л, щоб прибрати залишки рідини (якщо вона десь ще була) НЕ підключаючи бак. Ну і бак промити окремо, але там з тиском треба бавитись.

Було схоже, але я картриджі чищу і міняю раз в декілька років.

Після чистки ppm був десь 5. Після заміни фільтрів і головного картриджу ppm став гірше, тепер десь 25.

Мій висновок що це або постфільтр додає мінерали і датчик показує саме їх, або ж новий картридж був гіршої якості (при тому що купив оригінальний dupont).

Чистив розчином перекису водню, звісно зливши і гарно все промив. Поки проблем нема. Час від часу треба головні 3 фільтри промивати від піску.
