don4l Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I tried this last year, but I assumed that the Ha is much stronger than the OIII. So I only took 50m of Ha and 170m OIII. I've now managed to add another 90m Ha, and I'm now quite pleased with it.This is a crop from a larger frame, and it has also been scaled down to meet the file size limit.Tak FSQ106 with focal reducer. G2 16200 camera. Stacked and calibrated in CCDStack. Processed in Gimp.I tried to use Starnet on this, and for the first time it didn't work very well at all. It took out half of the nebulosity! Unfortunately, this means that the stars are a bit odd, so don't look too close. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstronomyUkraine Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Posted by: @don4l I tried to use Starnet on this, and for the first time it didn't work very well at all. I tried using starnet on the Eastern Veil nebula, it was a disaster. It seems starnet has a problem with filament type nebulosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don4l Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 @astronomyukraineThanks for that.I thought that I had done something wrong when I created the TIF file. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstronomyUkraine Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 @don4l I tried a few times with no success using starnet. It works great on other images, just not the Veil, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carastro Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Looking good Don.I can't even use Starnet, it won't install on either my desk top or either of my laptop, tells me there is something missing.So I use Annies actions, which are also good for star reduction. I select the stars first expand and feather, and then apply the action once or twice. By selecting it doesn't affect the nebulosity.Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstronomyUkraine Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Posted by: @Carastro I can't even use Starnet, it won't install on either my desk top or either of my laptop, tells me there is something missing.Are you using the standalone version of Starnet, or the integrated one in Pixinsight?Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmack1 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Starnet or not thats a really good omage showing lots of the filaments in both ZHa and Oiii.Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstronomyUkraine Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Posted by: @Carastro Stand alone, I don't use Pixinsight.I use the integrated version in Pixinsight, it seems some older computers don't have the architecture to run Starnet. If your PC has no AVX support, Starnet will not run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your PC has no AVX support, Starnet will not run.My version gives this message when I run it:2020-11-01 18:12:18.606978: I tensorflow/core/platform/cpu_feature_guard.cc:141] Your CPU supports instructions that this TensorFlow binary was not compiled to use: AVX2I don't know if this means that the Starnet doesn't use AVX2, or AVX or what.However, I have noticed that sometimes it just won't run at all. Yesterday, for example, it just failed a few times. When I shut a bunch of other programs,it then ran fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstronomyUkraine Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Posted by: @don4l Your CPU supports instructions that this TensorFlow binary was not compiled to use: AVX2From what I gather, this is a warning that your machine could run faster using this application. Starnet is very CPU intensive, so closing down any other running programmes is recommended. There is a way of speeding up Starnet on your machine, but it only works on machines with an Nvidia graphics card. I tried it, and it works great.

Carastro Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Posted by: @AstronomyUkraine If your PC has no AVX support,I don't even know what AVX is, all I know is I have W10 on my Desktop. Anyway, Annie's actions works well enough for me.Carole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallingskies Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 @carastroit’s some sort of computery protocol, none of my Lenovo machines will run it, but my son’s computers do. He’s back at uni (for now...) so I have to email him files to “Starnet” for me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
