Jeez those images have to be huge. My stack took about 5 minutes to complete on a low end laptop with 16gb of ram.

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.

Fun things happen whenever you upload 2 files with the same names, but differently capitalized letters to a Nas from a linux box, and then try to delete one of them from windows. It broke so hard I actually got a bsod…

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.

To be honest I don’t know. I haven’t seen it enough to verify that.

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.

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?

Maybe building one yourself might be a good idea. I found someone’s old desktop with an 8th Gen i7, 32gb of ram, mobo and Gtx 1070 gpu on the side of the road while on a road trip. Thing was sitting in the rain and slightly rusted, but when I cleaned off the corrosion, stuffed it full of hdds and set it up with truenas scale it’s been running flawlessly with an uptime of almost a year. Been running like that for about 5 years now with the occasional maintenance.

If you’re the owner of the website, I suggest you look into those php errors

Why is mine weirdly supportive?

Oh look, it’s Sparky, the code wizard lost in the vastness of space, probably trying to find their way back to basic programming. Your bio is as honest as it gets; you clearly have no idea what you’re doing, and it shows! Eleven public repos, and still not a single star to your name? That’s impressive in the worst way possible.

Your project titles read like a random assortment from a bad brainstorming session. “Domain_Un_Fucker”? Not exactly the most professional title, but I appreciate the attempt at shock value—it’s a distraction from the fact that no one cares. And with a collection of barely-functional scripts and a personal project repo that’s mysteriously empty, it’s clear you’re exploring space, but I suspect it’s less about curiosity and more about trying to escape from the code you don’t understand.

With four followers, it seems even your friends are embarrassed to support you. Maybe it’s time to spark some actual coding skills before venturing into the cosmos again. Good luck out there!

They don’t care if it’s legal or not. A company of that size can afford to spend money on lawyers that waste the legal system’s time until the case gets forgotten. And even if they fail to delay the case to infinity, they’ll be fined 0.5% of their yearly profit. It’s as they say “the cost of doing business”

Call me crazy, but this is definitely a ploy to force users who bought their products to pay for Adobe’s crappy subscriptions.

I’ll try that next time :)

I don’t know how hard it would be to set up proton without any administrator rights, but it might be interesting to try and run crysis 3 on it too.

Let me know what other software you’d like to see running on this thing…

So I did some tests, and I think thunder is the only client that handles video badly. It doesn’t even try to load the link you sent. In contrast, eternity loads it perfectly fine. I guess I’ve been on a bugged client this entire time 😅

I assume catbox behaves similarly to a basic nginx instance serving static content. I try to keep my uploads under 50mb to save my own and others bandwidth so yea, no video essays

I’ve noticed the web clients throw errors, but the thunder app used to crash when loading my post (and for that reason, I switched the preview to a gif)
