If you use AutoStakkert! it will automatically convert your MOV file to AVI if you have FFMpeg in the same directory with AutoStakkert!Īnother easy way to convert MOV to AVI is with the very useful program Planetary Image PreProcessor (PIPP). If you have problems with that, then you can use Planetary Image PreProcessor to convert the MOV to AVI. I now recommend just using AutoStakkert! with FFMpeg. Some folks couldn’t get it to work, and now there are easier ways. If you use a camera that records video and saves it in a MOV format, you will need to convert that to an AVI file format for programs like AutoStakkert! and Registax to work.Ī couple of years ago I wrote a bolg post about using VirtualDub to convert MOV to AVI.
#Backyardeos planetary software
The best way to shoot high-resolution planetary is with lucky imaging where you record hundreds or thousands of frames in a video and use software like AutoStakkert! to pick out the best frames and stitch them together. With Jupiter transiting around midnight, Saturn transiting around 3:30 a.m., and Mars transiting just about at dawn, a great planetary season is now officially under way. Posted in Astrophotography, Big Scope Chronicles, Equipment Reviews, Image Processing, Images, New Equipment No lens correction profiles used at all.Sky background flattened with GradientExTerminator.2x Drizzle then downsample back to original size.Adaptive Heterogeneity-Directed (AHD) Interpolation.151 Raw light files calibrated with 64 flats and 64 bias.Overlay: Nikon APS-C (because Nikon at 1.5 is a wider FOV than Canon’s 1.6x crop factor).ASCOM Dither every 10 frames via BackYardEOS.150 x 15 seconds (37.5 minutes total exposure).
#Backyardeos planetary download
You have to download the full-resolution, full-frame 8-Bit TIFF of Cassiopeia shot with the Sigma Art 105mm f/1.4 lens on Google Drive (a 57mb file) and look at the corners at 100% magnification. You really won’t be able to check them out at the size of this small image on this page. But the color correction is eluding me.Check out the corners at 100% and decide if you can live with them at f/1.4… ? Using PI (I am still very much a novice with this program) I wished to use Restoration Filter to sharpen things up and then make additional adjustments. I then stacked the videos using Autostakkert2.

#Backyardeos planetary series
Backyard EOS does this by taking a rapid series of small JPEGS and then compiling them into an AVI video. I was using BackyardEOS in Planetary mode for the capture of 1000 to 2000 frame videos. I managed to get several AVI vieos of Saturn that appeared to be among my personal bests for focus and seeing, so I am loathe to just trash them and wish to see what I can do to salvage them.įor deep space images PI has the processes BackgroundNeutralization and ColorCalibration.Īlso, if you are shooting raw images, it doesn't matter the white balance setting in the camera But I already had the filter installed in the camera and decided to give it a go. I agree and won't be doing so in the future. I think that for planetary photos you wouldn't need a light pollution filter.
