Ancient Photons Astrophotography
США
Добавлен 5 фев 2020
Welcome. My name is Chad Leader - I am an astrophotographer from just outside of Washington, DC. This channel is dedicated to providing supplementary videos for blog posts on my astrophotography website. The focus will be problem solving, including processing tips and equipment issues. I use Pixinsight for a majority of my processing.

8 Tips for Better Astro Images in Heavy Light Pollution
In this video, I explain some of the techniques I've used to improve my images from Bortle 7 - 9 skies. I present some acquisition tips as well as some pre and post processing ideas that help minimize background gradients and improve overall detail and contrast.

Basic Galaxy Processing Workflow in Pixinsight from Start to Finish
Просмотров 28 тыс.Год назад
Visit my blog post to download the raw data for practice: www.ancientphotonsastro.com/post/galaxy-processing-bootcamp-a-basic-workflow-for-osc-galaxy-processing-in-pixinsight This video is intended for a beginner with some knowledge of Pixinsight. My goal was to present a basic workflow for completing the processing of a galaxy using Pixinsight. I use a couple of Pixinsight addons for this demo...
Linear noise reduction using TGV Denoise (Pixinsight)
Просмотров 3 тыс.2 года назад
This video demonstrates my technique for applying TGV Denoise to a linear astro image. Typically, there will be additional noise reduction applied once the image is stretched, but knocking out some of the high frequency noise during the linear phase can be very beneficial. TGV Denoise is a great process for this purpose. NOTE: RUclips compression really affects the clarity of the results of the...
Finding the hidden structures in your astrophotos: HDR Multiscale Transform (Pixinsight)
Просмотров 5 тыс.2 года назад
Ever have areas of your astrophotos that are washed out? These areas might be hiding interesting structures. You can use HDR Multiscale Transform in Pixinsight to reveal them. In this video, I'll show you how to bring out the structures in the core of The Whirlpool Galaxy and tame the core of the Orion Nebula. Check out my blog post about HDR Multiscale Transform here: www.ancientphotonsastro.c...
Bringing out the details in your astrophotography: Local Histogram Equalization (Pixinsight)
Просмотров 7 тыс.2 года назад
Local Histogram Equalization (LHE) is a powerful tool that can emphasize large and small structures in your images. In this video, I'll show you my approach to using LHE on both a nebula and galaxy image. This video supplements my blog post on this topic, which can be found here: www.ancientphotonsastro.com/post/bringing-out-the-details-part-1-local-histogram-equalization-pixinsight My website:...
A method for debloating and tightening up stars (using Pixinsight)
Просмотров 6 тыс.2 года назад
For this video, I'll show you a method I've been using to "debloat" problematic stars. The example image in this video was captured using 7nm SHO filters from my bortle 8/9 backyard. In conjunction with poor seeing conditions, this led to star bloating (and overall soft stars). If you'd like to practice this method, you can download the necessary files from my blog.
