Thanks Rich. I am just starting out with Siril so your tutorials are like gold nuggets to me. Your relaxed style and easy manner really help you clearly deliver your messages. Keep up the great work
Rich, I am newbie to AP. After watching several of your Siril tutorials I have been able to process my images with Siril and have great results. I appreciate your passion and willingness to share your knowledge with others. Well done!
You should change the name of your channel to the Siril Whisperer :-) In all seriousness, thanks so much for all these tips and scripts you've put out there.
Awesome! I am fresh to astro, but with your help I have processed an image of Orion from a small stack of 20 1 second frames I took to assess a 105 mm lens, and although it's very noisy ( I never used calibration frames) the nebula is beautiful! I'm scrapping my Photoshop sub and am a convert to Siril! Thanks again for your generosity!
Hey, thanks for making these great videos (and for reading the docs ;) ). I've got one for you: to add a star in the dynamic PSF, instead of drawing a box, you can click with the center button of the mouse, it will draw a square selection around the point you clicked. Then Ctrl+Space will add it to the list (and open the dynamic PSF window if not opened already)
Great stuff! I keep on meaning to read up on all the command prompts for Siril, but I keep forgetting about it.. I might go and do it now, or maybe in a while...
your siril vids are deffo some of the best on YT 100% straight to the point no messin , and gratz on your 1k subs milestone well deserved , all the best from England UK
Thank you for these great videos. I reference you to all my astro friends as the master of Siril. You have cut my learning curve way down. Thank you for all the work you have done to learn Siril and make videos for us to benefit from. Keep up the great videos!!!
Thanks! There isn't any contrast or brightness, but the better way is with stretching. Specifically the Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch that's in the new release.
This is great, like the rest of your Siril videos! Thanks so much for sharing all these tips and information, it's really valuable for someone relatively new to astro processing 🙌
I was dying and I wasn't knowing. Thanks man! I am to lazy to read the manual. I didn't know about command lines that don't have equivalent in the menu.
Hi Rich, thanks for the great video, it contained again many useful tips. I was wondering whether you know an efficient method to browse through many subframes and sort out the ones with strange star shapes due to guiding issues. I am tired to manually check all the images, convert them to mono, zoom in, check the stars… Any idea is appreciated. And also I am looking for a tool that can quickly browse through fits files as normally image tools do e.g. acdsee and alike.
Curious why you convert them to mono? ASIFitsView might help as you can flip through them pretty quickly. It's still a manual process though. If you want a more auto approach, you'll have to stack manually then you can specify different parameters to reject images. I have a primer video for manual stacking.
@@DeepSpaceAstro I use mono images in ASTAP, as I could better see the star shape distortion. I tried ASIFitsView with ASIStudio on Linux, it helps a lot! It seems like a very capable bundle of software, I just got a bit scared when it asked for a root password - I didn't provide it, and the viewer runs - however I sandboxed it 🙂. Thanks! Btw. I think I found the source of my guiding issues.
Awesome video, as always. Friendly recommendation: Consider getting a ring light and turning off the light above your head. That'll likely make things look just as professional as the content. Keep up the good work!
I keep putting it off because I thought to myself, no one will notice. Lol I was looking to see what I need, now thanks to you I'll have to get back to it! 😂 Thanks!
when i do a background extraction it sometimes does something too agressive so i found that if i use the division mode first and then subtraction. that way i get the background to be a bit smoother
I wondered if Siril Pixelmath can do things like new way to do hubble palette in anyway like the latest video that Entering into space and Cuiv the lazy geek did. Yesterday I spent hours trying to combine them using different expressions but I just gave up at the end.
I think it can, but we'll see. Bill Blanshan, the guy who wrote the pixel math to do that, is going to be looking at Siril's capabilities with pixel math and possibly do the same in Siril
Hi, I have a question. I don't have a star tracker yet and I tried shooting the orion nebula the other day. I ended up shooting 1750 images of 0.8 sec each on a canon r6 with a 200mm lens. The issue is Siril is failing again and again saying there is not enough disk space. First I cleared 200 GB and then went on to clear 500 GB from my hard drive but it still says it needs 350 GB more!! Is there a better way to stack these images without needing so much disk space? Thanks
I’ve just started using Siri but I find my photo metric colour calibration plate solve simply won’t work even though i have entered the object (for example NGC7000). I continuously get “plate solve failed”. Any ideas?
Have you verified that your focal length and pixel size are correct? What focal length did you image at? Any additional information shown in Siril's console?
@@DeepSpaceAstro I’d have to go back and redo the whole thing and take notes since I just closed and deleted because the entire thing looked garbage. I have multiple issues with siril but then i have multiple issues with adding starnet and processing in general. I can watch tons of videos but every time I work on something the guy making it look oh so easy in the video, isn’t around to say “ah! I see the issue you’re having. Here’s why and this is how to fix it”. Just too many issues man.
Finally someone with super handy Siril tips and tutorials! Thank you Rich!
You're welcome and thank you Urtzi!
Incredible. I've been using Siril for quite some time now, but some of those tips were new to me!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Your Siril videos and scripts are gold. Hands down the best Siril tutorials and what-not that I've come across. Well done!
Thanks so much! Appreciate that!

Recently got a seestar, really my first adventure into this world, and your processing videos have been excellent. Thanks and PS I joined.
Great to hear and thanks for joining!
Lots of very helpful tips and tricks, even for me, the Siril beginner! Thank you!
Thanks! Glad to hear they were useful!
Awosome video and fantastic top ten tips extremely clear to understand thank you, Brother 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks man!
Thank you for taking the time to give us newbs the resources to make this hobby less frustrating. Another amazingly informative video.
Thanks again

Really appreciate all these videos you're making. I know it's time consuming and you're being very generous.
Thank you! They are but I'm enjoying making them.
Great stuff!

Wow! Thanks so much! I really appreciate that!
Thanks for all your Great videos on siril processing. They are very informative and my image processing technique has already improved much.
Thank you! Glad you found them helpful!
Most informative, as usual. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
Very informative, thanks. Can you show where are the "contrast" and "brightness" functions in Siril? I've been trying to find it, but can't find them.
Thanks! There isn't any contrast or brightness, but the better way is with stretching. Specifically the Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch that's in the new release.
@@DeepSpaceAstro That's why I can't find them, haha 😆. I like your tutorials, simple and straightforward. Are you going to do a video on that GHS?
@@rcpattaya230 I am. I've been working on it but keep getting sidetracked. 😎
Awesome. Shortcuts are my friend if I can remember where they are.
Yes they are! Thanks!

Glad it helped!
Thank you for the last command line (findstar) !
You're welcome!
Nice tips Rich, Thanks again for your vids
Happy you like them! Thanks!

Hello Rich, is the Unsharp command applied in Linear?
I think it works best in linear, but it does work on stretched images as well.
Awrsome!! Thanks

Only thing I can suggest is to use an external drive, put your images there, set that as your home/working directory, and then run the script.
@@DeepSpaceAstro thank you
