Re: New Image: Jupiter, Nov 29, 2023
AstroSurface is an all-in-one solution to processing images. I've been using it to Stack the video images, assess the quality to determine which to include in the stack; adjust the brightness and saturation levels; and to do sharpening, including the use of wavelets.
It is free, and runs on windows. I have a Mac, and use CrossOver to run windows software. AS runs well with this configuration.
It replaces Autostakkert, PIPP and Registax, and probably other apps as well. It can process
I use the Sharpen feature (as opposed to wavelets). It includes VonCittert, Richardson-Lucy and Wiener functions as well. I haven't used them, and don't know what they are for. As I said, I'm still learning.

Thanks again, and keep 'em coming!

Re: New Image: Jupiter, Nov 29, 2023
JayTee, thanks for that image! I aspire to that level of resolution. I've found, so far, that the best tool is good seeing!JayTee wrote: ↑Fri Dec 22, 2023 12:18 am Thank you for that info, Don. I've always used PIPP, AS2 then 3, Registax wavelets, finishing with tweaks in PS. So if AstroSurface does almost all of that lengthy process I will certainly give it a try. Here is what my long process was able to accomplish with my C11.
