S50 Stacking not working for nebula?
I captured 300 pictures 10sec each of NGC6888 planetary nebula. The nebula is deeply red. With the Deep Sky Stacking feature, it returned green stars to me and no nebula anymore. Tried it again some times, even with only 10 pictures, but it is still not working. And there were some other stacking problems. The auto-enhance while stargazing produced a beautiful picture, but I wanted to stack again to get rid of the satellites passing by that were on 15 photos. Everything right out of my S50. Uninstalled the app, latest firmware was already installed. Unedited with 310 photos in the stack: Unedited with 40 photos in the stack: Last 2 pictures from that stack:

A PixInsight workflow that will give me sharpness without graininess?
Looking for suggestions for a Seestar PI workflow that will sharpen images without making them look grainy. Any suggestions?

Light stripe in the middle of the pictures?
Recently I have noticed a light strip running down the center of the photo. I cannot understand the nature of its origin. What is it? photo for example.

Which programs for android? For improving pictures?
Hello. Any recommendations for good pic programs to improve images? I already know lightroom. Playing a bit with the built in seestar stuff and samsung original program. Works well, but i want to do better, maybe without a computer. Greetings. Marcel

Thoughts on AI and image enhancement?
Interested to hear thoughts on AI image enhancement. I'm not talking about enhancing with the likes of Siril, Graxpert, Pixinisight, Seti Astro or within the Seestar app. This relates to fake images created by AI such as chat GPT and similar that actually change the image and add things that were never in the original image in the first placeThe above mentioned software can enhance our images hugely but we are still generally spending considerable time stacking, processing and editing to get the final image. I'm sure we have all seen images posted that beg the question (which is sometimes asked) 'Is that from the Seestar?' Images posted that look nothing like the image should having knowledge of what this device is capable of.We've all had fun with our images and sometimes done things for fun or effect (star spikes, Hubble palettes, exposure, color etc) but the underlying data is there.Where is the line drawn if Any?Should there be a separate channel for AI Astronomy art? (there is an 'Other' channel but is this enough?)Do you agree that when AI takes over it should be declared on the post?Has anyone dabbled in the black arts? What's your take on it?If AI takes over, where is the challenge?I can see a future where the telescope takes the image, stacks it, edits it and spits it out fully edited and AI corrected. Is this a good thing or bad? Is it inevitable?There is a good video on the Space Koala Channel comparing the difference between recognized editing software and the likes of chat GPT, have a look.Very interested to hear thoughts on this matter?@Daddy1 @Maic @Harold Soto @FlamiFlamou @JRB48 @StuartTheAlien👽🖖 @DILCHSKY @HAL-9000 @CTMando✨
