Hi Jeff,
Well..that is a good sign I guess!The lower one (s) are optimized for the web having been encoded by a program for that purpose. Supposedly the optimized one is like a youtube video. Please let me know if the bottom ones continue to play O…
Rainer,
OK... I enabled something that might help.Now articles (pages with the videos) will have a "Heart" symbol. If you click on it- it will add the article to your favorites list. Then when you go under your "My Account" section... you can see al…
Interesting idea. I am not sure my host company can do this..but I will ask.You are asking for some method of knowing which videos you have watched?(I think the place within a single video is simply remembered in your browser's cache.)Let me know!-t…
Hi John,
Regarding the debayering- my suggestion is to look at the raw data in its greyscale form *until* you have calibrated it. As you know, the debayering happens after the files have been calibrated. Often beginners "destroy" the bayer matrix (r…
Sorry... when you say you cannot "recognize" the data sets. What does that mean?There is a link :https://adamblockstudios.com/categories/Fundamental_Workflow
(it says M51 DATA)Here is the direct link:https://adamblockstudios.com/articles/m…
The "host" is Amazon. These videos are being served from Amazon. However, they are Edge servers.If the stream is interrupted (especially if it has lots of "bits") the "hanging" thing happens. Unfortunately this plagues people with connections that h…
The basic logic is that you can create gradients with DBE. How do you know you have not done so? You cannot create a gradient with PCC. However, it is possible to perhaps (and this really still needs to be shown to me in a dramatic way)- it is possi…
Hmm.... It does not look like it is finding the program... But I don't know why.
Sorry. Although it is somewhat nice that it is possible to get FFmpeg to work- it isn't elegant. It is really easier to create the jpegs and then use a "normal" progra…
The data sets I am about to upload will have complete sets of raw calibration files.So... look for these shortly.First up will be a data set on M51.-the Blockhead
Well... honestly that field doesn't have that much variation in star color. Just remember to protect the stars if you do noise reduction (especially on the chrominance.)-the Blockhead
Sure!But one thing..the less than ideal data means less processing. Sometimes people think the worse the data the more processing is required. However,it is just the opposite. The less ideal, the few things can be done because the informationjust is…
Hi Edwin,
Some of the data from the remote telescopes do not have raw calibration files. I just get the calibrated images. Other data, I do have the raw files...BUT- the space required to save this data is quite large! (if I do it for all of the dat…
A couple of notes.FIrst...we are talking about permanently stretched non-linear images wwth Starnet.Typically the artifacts that Starnet leaves behind are in star locations... so that when you add the stars back they get covered. It is possible to e…
Good question. It is tough.I think would I will be doing for Fundamentals (which is more static) is adding "updated" versions.In particular I will add a few "Workflow" type updates to demonstrate everything from WBPP to the new adaptive normalizatio…
