S50 subframe calibration with darks and flats

There is still one thing that is unclear to me: Does SEESTAR S50 automatically calibrate each subframe with dark and flat frames?If not, what do I need to do to ensure that both calibrations are performed? Thank you for your reply. Gianpaolo.

How do you obtain the blue tones?

Hello! This is my first post, and I'm a complete beginner. I'd like to explain my problem using IC405 as an example. I'm having trouble preserving the blue tones and have tried various techniques. Raw data: One series with L-Pro and one with Antlia ALP-T 3nm. In image 1, I applied a luminance mask (Ha of the Antlia ALP-T data) to the L-Pro data and selectively boosted it. In image 2, I split each series with StarXTerminator and merged them according to their weighting. In image 3, I additionally applied a blue channel mask from my nebula image in image 2 to image 1 and boosted the blue tones.I hope that was clear. How do you approach this type of object?

GRAXPERT CON IMMAGINI DEL SEESTAR S50 FUNZIONA ????????!!!!!!!!!!

Buongiorno a tutti, ho un quesito da porvi ovvero, seestar rilascia solo LIGHTS ma Graxpert vuole anche darks, flats e Bias, quindi le immagini del seestar non possono essere processare da Graxpert???? Sono nuovo nel settore e grazie per la comprensione 😅😅

PC Spec For Post Processing using Pixinsight and or Seti AS

Hi folks. I am just about to start doing some Post Processing of my captured Seestar images. My question is around what spec PC should I use for post processing. I am thinking about using either Pixinsight or Seti AS as my main software to accomplish this task. When I see YouTube videos of pist Processing, there seems little time spent Stacking, layering etc in these videos. So I ask myself what spec are these PC's that chew through Huge numbers of images seemingly very rapidly So my question is what spec machine will be able to handle/process these intensive tasks. Currently I have a Dell Optiplex i7 Intel, 16GB Mem, 500GB SSD and integrated graphics. The monitor is a 43in high spec IPS panel. Any thoughts would be welcome Oh and not a large budget to work with Cheers Steve I

hubble-like astro-image

How can I make hubble-like astro-images with seestar S50? From S50 we get only the image filtered by UV/IR-cut. It doesn't have the OIII and SII filters. Therefore it is not possible to make the hubble color from the point view of hardware. But maybe image processing can provide the possibility. I think we can have a good discussion here. Thanks in advance.
