I love how easy slow and clearly you explain the video Thanks so much
Whenever I stack using Siril it gives me vignette and other issues which should have been removed with flats but if I use dss or other software it does it correctly. Any idea?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I've owned the AM5 for several months and just love it. Pragmatically, I see nothing on the AM5N that can justify the cost of upgrading. Having said that, I'm a neat freak. Not having the saddle ports is just eating at me ...
Yeah I think I'd feel the same, but also agree with the saddle port point.
I noticed that when you open Photoshop the first thing you do is adjust the black point of the three colors. Have you ever tried that in Siril's GHS. I've begun to adjust the black point of the colors separately just until they start to clip. It changes the color of the object somewhat but I kind of like it. Is this a good idea in your opinion?
It's all preference at this point. If you like the way it looks, then it's right. 😉
Nice video but I don’t like that fake perfect circle thing on star
First of all hi!!! that was a great tutorial but i have a different situation. I dont have "bias frames" and "dark frames" at all, but I do have a "dark master" because they do a "dark masters" regulary for the telescope i used so they just sent the "dark master" to me. So I cant calibrate "flat frames" with "bias frames" (because I dont have them), but when I tried to calibrate with "dark master" (I checked online and they said that the "dark frames" already have the bias frames inside of them) but it didnt work. what should i do?
Thanks! Just just follow the part about the 'Lights' frames, and in the Calibration tab, tick Use Dark, and select your dark library. Then run the calibration.
Excellent video I’m missing here denoise stretch part
Thanks! This one shows the Denoise. ruclips.net/video/OmHBvWwU6zE/видео.html
i have that issue too
Thank you so much, this is really going to help.
You're welcome
Nice
Thanks
Nice comparison! I've been thinking about one of these strain wave mounts for more portability but not yet ready to pull the trigger. Looking forward to your next review!
Thanks Naz!
This is a cool AF short!!
Thanks Doug!
Nice image Rich ! Thanks for sharing. I noticed you were set up on the grass rather than the slab in the backyard?
Thanks! Got a new project happening on the slab. 😉
In your full review, maybe you could check if the mounting plate can be turned around like the old one since there are connections in it now.
Yep. I looking into that.
Well done! I also envy your green lawn. No chance of that here in AZ this summer!
Thanks! Wanna come cut the grass? 🤣
@@DeepSpaceAstro Riding mower only!👽
Is that the Edge HD 8? How are you finding the tracking on the AM5? Do you think it would work out for the Edge HD 11?
I only just received the AM5N from ZWO to review. Last night was the first time guiding, and seeing was horrible. I couldn't get a good calibration completed, but it did guide ~.75 total. ZWO says up to 44lbs with a counterweight, and they have a picture of a C11 w/o the weight on their website. I'm still researching though.
Nice one. Cool music too 😀
Thanks!
Awesome!🔥
Thanks!
Excellent.... 😊
Thanks!
My only regret to this video was not finding it sooner. Amazing, thank you!
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Did you find the Hyper-Star easy to collimate?
Wasn't too difficult. I have a video on it if you haven't seen it. ruclips.net/video/xEGSTi4d_Ik/видео.html
@DeepSpaceAstro thanks, I'll check it out. 👍
MAN YOU ARE LUCKY...
un enorme merci mec apres avoir passé plus de 4h sur une photo et comprendre ton script jai enfin fais ma premiere voie lacté une tuerie merci enormement
You're very welcome! Thanks!
Very true, its probably the most relaxing part of my day.
It really is!
Keyboard warrior lol Thanks for the tutorial!
You're welcome!
Did it take you several sessions to obtain the 8.4 hrs? When it came to stack them did you use Sirilc or did you just combine all the lights together in one lights folder? If using Sirilc did you have separate flats folders for each session? Did you use master dark and bias (dark flats) files? I use MacOS on a new M3 MacBook Pro with 36g of ram and found Siril 1.2.3 very slow under this platform. Apparently other MacOS users have experienced this issue. I've downgraded to 1.2.1. I've used GraxPert in 1.2.1 a couple of months ago and don't remember seeing the autostrech anomaly. Maybe try on 1.2.1.
8.4hrs? Did I say that in the video? If so, that's wrong. This was ~2.5hrs. To your question though... If I image the same object over multiple nights, and those nights were consecutive allowing me to leave my rig untouched, I use the same set of flats for all nights, and throw all the lights into the Lights folder, and stack in Siril. Nowadays I use master darks and biases, so no need to shoot those for each session. Now if those multiple nights are not consecutive, and I have to tear down and setup again each night, then yes I shoot a set of flats for each night, and then use SirilIC.
Thank you !!!
So true. And your videos and insights are great 👍
I appreciate that!
Thank you China. Ahmerikah bows down to you. Thank you for everything you gift us with. Long Live the PRC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🙄
Thank you for this!
My pleasure!
So you know almost all USB 3.0 hubs offer the same features, over protection. It's $200 is $100 to much, I would expect the price will come down when it does not sell? Most don't need that much current from the 3.0 ports. If all 6 USB ports supplies 2.5 amps per port then 15 amps and the included is only 5 so it can't supply that much, unless they are talking for just 1 USB 3 port? Really good testing!!
You're correct, it's not 2.5A per port concurrently. Thanks
Did the same thing with PixInsight, stacked with WBPP, then Gradient Correction, Color calibration, SCNR, and finally a GHS stretch. Might try a few other scripts as well.
The power pass thru is what sold me on this mount when comparing it with others. Otherwise, I might have looked for an EQ6 off the used market. (however, i am in the ZWO ecosystem, so i may be bias but...)
It's definitely a great feature!
I have 300 photo in format .dng. SiriL d'nt work with dng, How I can convert my dng photo to .fits or tiff easy and quicly (and free)? Please, help me!
What camera did those come from? If the data isn't raw, then I don't think they can be processed.
@@DeepSpaceAstro don't laugh))) It's photo from camera my Poco F4 smartphone. I makes 300 night sky photo (Polar Star in centre, manual setting, f1/8, ISO 3200, 15s exposition, RAW format enable. 300 lights, 20 basias, darks and flats). And now, for experimenting, I want to makes stacking photo with SiriL. But my Poco RAW format - it's .DNG((
I'm thinking it's something with what the phone is doing with the DNG. I'd post in Siril's forum and see what the devs have to say.
I wish ZWO would send me products to test.😢
Is 3amps enough for a pc and tec cooled camera?
You'd have to determine that yourself by looking at the specs of the equipment that you intend to use.
Zwo told me to tell you to send me the old one when you're done reviewing it. Honest.
🤣 I don't even get to keep one. They both have to be returned eventually.
@@DeepSpaceAstro sorry but lol :)
Please do something different that other AM5N reviews don't. Please review the AM5N using you C8 Edge (without Hyperstar). When testing the guiding performance plate test with an OAG at the focal reducer focal length and at native focal length. I've been asking opinions of current reviewers if an AM5N would be a good mount for SCTs for guiding and no one wants to commit to an opinion without testing. Please don't use a wide angle refractor as any mount guides those scopes adequately. Thanks.
My plan is to test with the Edge8HD using the Hyperstar, the reducer, and at the native focal length with and without guiding using the OAG where applicable.
Thank you. I'm looking forward to your upcoming review. I'm hoping you see consistent guiding throughout your tests. Please also mention your calibration results from PHD2, showing the orthogonal graph and the declination tracking graph from Guiding Assistant if you run that tool. I have a feeling it will work pretty good but when spending the cash I would like to know I'm making an informed decision.
Are you planning on testing dither? I can’t dither with my AVX, it takes a long time to recover. Thanks.
Dither or die! 😉
Fantastic, real world cmparison, thanks.
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Cool review - as usual from you detailed and professional presentation
Much appreciated! Thanks!
YOO HOW DID YOU DO THAT
Magic! 👽
That Hyperstar is serving you well, Rich!! Are you also using an EAF focuser? If so, do you leave the mirror locks on the EdgeHD loose or locked? I've read that it's bad to lock the mirror and change focus.
It is, and I love this thing! Yep I use an EAF with the mirror locks unlocked. Only time I tighten them down is if I'm travelling with the scope.
@@DeepSpaceAstro Thanks!!
@@DeepSpaceAstro No probs with mirror flop, then? I am Jones-ing hard for an EdgeHD 8. ;-)
Nothing I noticed. I have NINA's AF watch the stars, and if they go 10% past the previous measurement, it runs AF again.
Awesome Review Rich, My AM5N is arriving this month!
Thanks Danny! That's awesome! I can't wait to get out and start testing with this one as well!
@@DeepSpaceAstro I love my AM5 now. I got a good one periodic is @11 so any improvement in 5N will be amazing!
Really well done comparison Rich! Looking forward to your functional review! Cheers! Doug
Thanks Doug!
This is the BEST comparison I've seen. With both units together, we don't have to imagine the differences. Great video!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
