I use uYou plus. It has to be installed via Altstore (which means you have to resign it once a week with a computer needed in the same network).

But it has the best features:

  • Adblock
  • Sponsorblock (automatically skips sponsor segments in videos)
  • allows pip playback
  • shows estimated dislikes again

Dank dem Gesetz haben wir nun endlich auch ein BKW. Unsere Hausverwaltung hat in der Eigentümerversammlung angekündigt, dass ein Ablehnen in Zukunft nicht mehr möglich sein wird, und so konnten alle Parteien überzeugt werden. War trotzdem ein langer Kampf, und ohne diesem Gesetz unmöglich.

Ich hoffe das wird vielen anderen genauso helfen.

Thanks for sharing! The software worked better than expected on your image!

On my research before purchasing the program I also stumbled over your linked forum post. However I found it very misleading, as the software does not generate details learned from other images but only works with data already in your image. As it is a deconvolution tool results can deviate slightly from the true nature. But that has little to do with AI being used here. I needed a whole semester at university to truly understand the maths behind it. My biggest problem is that the software isn't open source so one can't look into all the details. But there are already people working on open alternatives.

But this already is a very specific problem, don't forget that the biggest difference for good quality makes the data itself. I wish best of luck on your journey!

Oh and I forgot to mention that one other advice I would give is to search the darkest location to shoot from that you can access. Lightpollutionmap really helps with finding such places.

For untracked this looks not too bad. To improve I would do the following:

  • in Siril: remove green noise, then photometric colour calibration
  • reduce exposure length to 1s
  • work on background extraction (maybe try GraXpert)
  • if you are not already doing: take calibration frames, especially flats

Are you interested in sharing the raw stacked file? I use a (paid) deconvolution tool called BlurXterminator and I wonder if it can handle such extreme star shapes. If it works I will of course send you the file.

In amateur astrophotography narrowband filters are used to reveal interstellar ionized gas clouds. In this case you can see hydrogen nebulae as red blobs in the spiral arms around M31.

Well for the high cost, apart from producing them is technologically challenging, it is just simple economics. The market for these filters is still small compared to other things, so the price must be higher to compensate production and development.

Tl;DR The EU makes sure that third party developers gain access to connectivity features to develop devices like smartwatches, headphones or VR headsets that have a deep integration to the OS.

It is crucial that the request process is transparent, timely, and fair so that all developers have an effective and predictable path to interoperability and are enabled to innovate.

Glueing and screwing the parts:

I found this design and it fitted my need perfectly. It is a mount for a very popular camera lens used in astrophotography. It not only functions as a weight relief for the camera but also allows to rotate the field of view. Moreover it is possible to focus the lens with the installation of a stepper motor, which will be the next step.

The single parts are screwed together with the help of threaded heat inserts. Just to make sure they are also glued together with epoxy, as the mount really needs to hold up. The screws are locked with Loctite.

Yes, I used Siril for stacking/ stretching, Starnett++ for star removal (to edit the glimpse of orion nebula a little better), GraXpert for gradient and noise, and BlurXTerminator for deconvolution. Final editing was done in Photoshop.

So heavy editing indeed..

Very special diffraction lens used…

Thanks, yes there is a very thin sheet of plywood attached at the bottom of each disk. The disks themselves where completely dried before of course
