AstronomyUkraine Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Adam Block has just brought out a new Youtube video describing the Star de-emphazier script made by Maxin Valenko, which is based on Adam's de-emphazier process. There is a link in the video description to the script. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I've just watched the video and installed the script. Interestingly it looks like Adam did it at the unstretched stage. He used Starnet to produce the starless image and initial star mask. I wasn't aware that starnet worked on unstretched images but will have to try it out. Thanks for sharing Brian 🙂👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually goes all blocky on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I tried it too and Starnet doesn’t appear to work for me either on unstretched images. Adams video seems to show him running the script and his manual process on unstretched images. He says the procedure is used early on in the process and then is shown playing around with STF moving the linked sliders around. I might have to replay the video.

I believe he is using stretched images, I see no green stripe in the top left corner denoting an unstretched image.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I've found out what threw me thinking he had done it on unstretched images. He hadn't - the whole process was on stretched images. But at 20:09 he moves the STF sliders. That creates the green line on the image tab. It was that I saw and prompted my initial comment 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAR Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Mystery solved, I noticed the green line too and thought it odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
