Hey thanks for reminding me I made a clock squared in blender about 2 years ago

yes there is an error in the image, and no I’m not telling you where it is

It’s burning from the scorching hot insults we throw at it.

Here’s my insult to feed the sun

Youre trying to be the center of attention, but really you’re just a big ball of gas with a serious ego problem, and you don’t see it because you’re blinded by yourself.

Yup deep sky stacker tracks the stars so you don’t need a physical star tracker. Give it a shot, and post it here :)

Quite the “open concept design”

You can add an image to a comment or post like this

Take a look at stellarium. It’s an app that uses your phone’s compass to show a map of the stars. I’ve not used it as my phone has a god awful compass so the map is inaccurate.

No problem :)

Here’s how noisy the image would have been if I used one frame with a higher iso instead of 30 of them

Also remember to find a spot with less light pollution so that more stars would be visible.

Oh yea and the software runs in bottles under wine on Linux. Just say no to automatic updates when it asks as that causes some funky behaviour.

I didn’t really follow any specific instructions, but here’s what I did:

1. Point the camera towards whatever you want to take pictures of. Try to use the raw mode to capture as much detail as possible.

2. Take as many pictures of said place as you want. I took about 30, but more images = less noise in your processed image. Since I used my phone for these, I used scrcpy to see and control the device over usb adb, mainly because I didn’t want to accidentally move the device it while trying to take the next picture.

3. To process the images, I followed this tutorial on YouTube.

4. Post processing the image was done in gimp. The tif files deep sky stacker exports are usually wayyy too dark, so you’ll need to adjust the brightness.

Pro tip: try to keep trees and other landscape out of the frame of the photos because deep sky stacker tracks the earth’s rotation, meaning the landscape will be blurry.

I don’t know how it is in other countries, but if you call an ambulance because you want a free ride to the hospital in Norway you get a hefty fine for wasting emergency resources. Doesn’t the US have the same kind of laws stopping people from using ambulances as ubers. If not, then that’s how make the ambulance free for people who need it, and really expensive for people who don’t.

Yea!

Dickhead?

Part of why I thought this was stabilized is because of the minimal streaking around the stars from the earth’s rotation. I’ve tried taking astro photos at 30s exposure, but they become streaky like this one . I guess that might change a bit if I were to switch to a wider lense or use an actual dslr.

Holy shit this is so good. Did you stabilize the camera to earth’s rotation, or is this a really short exposure?

I added https, so no warnings should appear anymore

I’m working on the http issue. The behaviour where it downloads the file instead of viewing the image is because the browser/client doesn’t even know that the image is an image. It thinks it’s a file and so it downloads it. I thought jpeg xl would be supported by now, but it seems like clients don’t know what to do with the format.

The http warning is because an https site contains http content because I didn’t bother setting up https on my cdn. Looks like only Firefox nightly can barely render jpeg xl images.

Jokes on you googling those questions will lead to nothing else other than seo spam.

I learned blender just to make a representation of my code in action … gif
