I can't find this feature anywhere ?

I can't register the number of frames. I click "Customize" and writing the number of frames - the site draws the correct bar - but there are 0 frames on the page with this photo.

first 2 pixinsight skill 2 hr BXT, NXT,, Masks , etc image 3, 4 ,5 lun Neo to me lum.Neo is cheating/no skill /hollow win For a lot of photographers , especially people like me who actually understand imaging, stacking, calibration, optics, and the craft , tools like Luminar Neo can feel like they’re skipping the skill and jumping straight to the “wow” result. Why Luminar feels like “cheating” AI automation replaces decisions you’d normally make yourself. Sky replacement can create scenes that never existed. Relight AI can completely change the mood of a photo. GenErase removes objects with zero effort. Luminar Neo’s AI tools can: Invent detail Shift colours Add fake structure Over-sharpen star fields Create halos Misrepresents data That’s why most serious imagers stick to: PixInsight AstroPixelProcessor Siril Photoshop (manual, controlled edits) Because those tools respect the data. So is it cheating? It depends on your intent. Is Luminar “cheating”? Documenting reality Yes it alters the truth Creative photography No it’s just a tool Astrophotography Mostly yes it fabricates data Portrait/landscape art | No it’s a stylistic choice My honest take Given my astrophotography background, my engineering mindset, and my obsession with doing things properly, Luminar Neo will always feel like cheating because it bypasses the craft i value. And that’s completely valid. But for casual shooters or creative artists? It’s a shortcut, not a sin. 3 images in less that 10 mins

It's a shame that ZWO have changed the algorithm to favour smart scope images on the feature section. Don't get me wrong I love what the smart scopes are able to do. But I also want to see images from non smart scope. ZWO, I understand your trying to market you S30 pro and I'm sure to be soon S50 pro. But please remember you also have customer who buy your cameras, scopes, EFW, CAA, ASIAIR etc. It would be good if you averaged it out a bit.

Hello, Why were my recent pictures consistently placed under review? And why is my latest photo set to the original posting time after the review, so that it ends up somewhere at the back of the overview of new photos? Isn't it possible to add it as new picture once it's reviewed? Here an example. Is it the banner?

How about addition of NGC grand slam competition/collection, many object are very exciting to compete for, maybe just the most common or uploaded objects.

Why are legitimately edited images through recognized software being tagged as AI generated? I have attempted to post an image several times that has been cropped, stars removed and edited in Pixinsight (Only). I have completed the AI declaration but to no avail. What's the point of posting anymore if this is going to occur all the time. You are only going to lose legitimate users if this continues. Could you please advise why this is occurring and what will be done about it. Regards

Wondering if anyone is interested in testing this website build. Will require some familiarity with GitHub Pages. I use it now to automatically catalogue and store my images. More of a personal project but quick and lightweight. Let me know and I will post a link to a Git repo of its Template version. The README.md file contains more into. Regarding functionality. Cheers and Clear skies.

I've used the hyperstar lens for several years with my older C11 and ASI2600 MC Pro, but this was my first attempt with using the hyperstar with a mono camera and the EdgeHD version of the 11. I wanted to point it at something really dark to get a feeling for what the mono sensor/lens capabilities would be. Whats darker than the LDN catalog objects, right? The dark nebulae objects have always fascinated me, being able to light up something that is already dark in existence to be able to see details, just doesn't seem possible at that distance in my brain. This is LD1247 (and other nearby neighbors) taken at 12 hours 25 minutes total integration time. I pushed my luck with 300 second exposures and hoped it wouldn't blow out the fine details or over expose the objects in the frame, but I kind of like some of the faint dust lanes it was able to pick up on. Open to any constructive feedback, thank you!

Can anybody help me to understand the ranking in the list of "featured" "new" pictures? It doesn't correlate with the likes or the views, but somehow the pictures are rated... Can please someone explain this to me? Greetings from Tirol

I have an iOptron Cube Pro that does all the tracking, so would the ASIAIR be worth getting? I'm intrigued with the idea of less cables, and being able to use my tablet wirelessly just for the camera control and not the mount control, since that be redundant. Does anyone have something similar and what are your thoughts on it?

The Moon is at its new moon phase obviously near the Sun. I wish to exclude the rare case of an eclipse for this questions. Also, I am aware that photographing an object relativly close to the Sun (at the sky) involves dangers for the human eye or the sensors. Has anybody examples of a new moon 🌚 image and can advice how to proceed?
