What's the best way to watch youtube without adds on ios? (without premium).
  • 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
  • Eigentumsgemeinschaften dürfen Balkonkraftwerke nicht mehr einfach blockieren
  • 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.

  • M31 Andromeda Galaxy
  • 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.

  • M31 Andromeda Galaxy
  • 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.

  • Andromeda M31
  • 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.

  • Commission starts first proceedings to specify Apple's interoperability obligations under the Digital Markets Act
  • 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.

  • Andromeda M31
  • No not for this target. As I use a dual narrowband filter I‘ll always get OIII as well, but as you said in this case it just shows the normal continuum. I shot this data to combine it with RGB in the future, but I liked how M31 looks with just narrowband so I wanted to share anyway.

    Budget setup
  • We were in exactly the same situation and bought a Fuji camera. We are very happy with our decision as we can shoot both 'normal' photography with the feeling of a nice camera body and astrophotography on a beginner level.

    The results we got so far exceeded our expectations by far, we posted some of our images here in this sub or here in full resolution .

    One thing to keep in mind is that normal cameras block most of the infrared light, which makes it unsuitable for shooting hydrogen nebulae. That's a minor reason why we eventually chose a Fuji camera, as they filter a bit less infrared than other brands.

    In the end the biggest impact makes the lens/telescope. After a lot of research we chose the Samyang/ Rokinon 135mm f2.0 lens. Also we found it very rewarding shooting with such a 'small' focal length because it forgives minor inaccuracies while giving very good results.

    For us the biggest reasons for this hobby are to experience the night sky with our own equipment and learning very much (about physics, processing the data, cameras, ...). Both things can be achieved with modest equipment and I would keep that in mind when comparing own images with others. Also I personally love the challenge to get the best possible results with things you already have.

    Hope that helped a bit.

    Camera lens mount for astrophotography
  • This lens is incredibly sharp and produces nearly no coma. Also the image is super flat and the lens also works for full frame cameras. For its high image quality it‘s also used by some more advanced astrophotographers.

    As I bought it new for 400€ this was a no brainer because we can also use it for 'normal' photography.

    I‘m sure your lens works well for many nebulae!

  • Camera lens mount for astrophotography
  • Thank you! Andromeda is way bigger than most people think. That’s the reason why it is a very (maybe the most) popular target for beginners. Also there went a lot of processing into the image, so don’t let the image deceive you from the actual conditions where I live (Bortle 5 zone)

  • Camera lens mount for astrophotography
  • The lens is the telescope in this case. But as the focal length of 135mm is fairly short it works best for objects appearing very large in the sky. Astrophotography can get very expensive very quickly, so we try to make the most out of the equipment we have. Just like with the 3d printed mount.

  • Camera lens mount for astrophotography

    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.

    First little project as a beginner

    As we didn’t find any shelf of our liking we tried to create it ourself. It worked out better than expected, however it obviously isn’t perfect. But as completely laymans we are happy nonetheless.

    One cool feature is that through all pieces goes one straight hole, this allows putting lamps on the shelf without seeing any cables.

    Leo's Triplet [@135mm]

    This is just a test shot to see how much detail can be captured using the 135mm Samyang lens. I think with way more exposure time and proper polar alignment the details can be further improved.

    • Fuji X-T5
    • Samyang 135mm f2.0
    • 400x 15s

    Obviously with a real telescope the result would be way better, but as a beginner I first try to push my equipment I already own.

    Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks

    This was a very challenging target for us as we are still beginners, but the comet stands out nicely. We hoped for a bit more detail, but shooting with the Samyang 135mm lens is quite a strech for this target.
