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✨

shadow light issue due to light pollution?

Hello I've an issue. I think due to light pollution. No matter how long the exposures are i have a shadow in the background. Is there an easy fix? Sometimes i can reduce it a bit by changing the lightning afterwarts. Greetings.

Imagine visiting the Sky Atlas and having a toggle that highlights the rectangular image frames published within the Seestar Community app (AstroImg) with the number of Like received..

Simply put, I'd love to be able to toggle a button within the Sky Atlas fearure of the ZWO Seestar App and be presented with painted/shadded areas highlighting not only the square kiloparsecs captured, but possibly some facts related to the image area. Such as... 1. Last date captured/posted with a hyperlink of sort to quickly view quality 2. Number of Likes received and comments and if it qualifies for any Award / Badge, plus a link to submit the best of the qualifying images against said Award etc... 3. Must be part of the Plan functionality... What this will do is prevent time wasted when duplicating an already captured area/zone and help direct you quicker to your next mapping out image of the viewable universe. Finally, a new Award category can be introduced that rewards or present completion awards, etc... Hope this is something someone at ZWO can table for a future software upgrade rollout... Your thoughts...?

Wouldnt it be good to collect data files from digferent people and stack them all together to get more hours of data?

Very first try on Pixinsight, thoughts? Not perfect by any means but I think it's a lot better than the equivalent processed in Siril, Graxpert and Gimp. So much to learn, spent hours on it but loved every minute. The 1st image is the Pixinsight one.?

Graxpert stopped working, anyone else having issues?

Does anyone else have issues with Graxpert periodically just stop working? This has happened twice so far. The program will work just fine, but when the denoise button is pushed, it will freeze and go into "program not responding " mode or it will display an error code box prompting me to go check a log that does not exist. I usually have to cntl+alt+delete to shut it down. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice but it still does not work.

I recently downloaded PixInsight and started a trial, but I'm struggling to get the hang of it despite following numerous YouTube tutorials. A recent video opinion threw me off, though - https://youtu.be/_cTznXBPbbc?si=IwHaXCteEj6TNxV7 He suggests that PixInsight might not be the best fit for Seestar data. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
