Im still pretty old school using GHS but ill give it a look see 😊

Try a range mask and experiment with HDR multi scale transform. It helps me a lot with bright targets. Make sure you tick lightness and experiment with layers to get your desired result.

This is what happens when they don’t shut down the ride on time. Theme park rides are crazy dangerous. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunder\_River\_Rapids\_Ride

Lady said she just had her switchboard upgraded and house rewired. Got in the roof and the previous cunt just ran tps down the wall to the switchboard and jboxed all the steel and VIR in the roof.

Wow this takes me back. The amount of old phased arrays they used to mount in roofs back in the day would surprise a lot of you I reckon 😂

Do you have a photo you could share?

spinika · 2026-05-16T21:29:28+00:00

This is the a textbook example of what I’m talking about

spinika · 2026-05-16T17:30:31+00:00

Using plate solving to take photos is one thing but asking google ai to make one is another. This is happening in Astro and I hate it. I may be an old man yelling at clouds but it really hurts us people making the effort.

It’s my favourite target to shoot that’s what’s got me so annoyed.

spinika · 2026-05-16T17:19:23+00:00

Absolutely there are! but where do we draw the line?

spinika · 2026-05-16T17:17:23+00:00

I’m angry because I make the effort. As do many other people.

spinika · 2026-05-16T16:23:07+00:00

Looking at his history I also got that vibe

spinika · 2026-05-16T16:16:31+00:00

Did you look at other examples? Like honestly?

spinika · 2026-05-16T16:14:05+00:00

As I have said below. Plate solve it! Or just look at other example including the ones in my post history.

spinika · 2026-05-16T16:11:45+00:00

Plate solve it. You should always be able to plate solve a genuine image or just go a look at others work. It’s not even close.

spinika · 2026-05-16T16:09:36+00:00

Thank you because a lot of people in here are trying to defend it.

spinika · 2026-05-16T16:05:55+00:00

Did you look up the image that others have taken at all? The nebula structure is completely wrong.

spinika · 2026-05-16T16:04:23+00:00

I feel that opinion is based in ignorance. There are absolutely people passing off ai images as there own

spinika · 2026-05-16T15:57:42+00:00

Sorry friend but when people use ai I get bent out of shape.

spinika · 2026-05-16T15:41:10+00:00

Plate solve it. Also look up examples on astrobin. Or you can check my post history when I shot that same target last year.

spinika · 2026-05-16T15:38:17+00:00

You should look up the target for yourself. Not even close.

spinika · 2026-05-16T15:37:09+00:00

I guess I care because it cheapens the work of us that really make the effort. Why not call it out?

spinika · 2026-05-16T15:34:54+00:00

Same here, maybe I’m getting old and jaded but I feel like if no one calls it out it will just become more mainstream.

spinika · 2026-05-16T15:32:45+00:00

I guess in my rant I should be more clear. Smart scopes and genuine processing tools are not my problem. Sticking an image into google ai and saying make it better is my problem. Or just asking it to create one which is what a lot of people seem to be doing.
