Most of the time, #PixInsight Image Solver script only requires basic information to solve an image. But sometimes, it fails. Troubleshooting guide to fix issues related to coordinates, reference catalogs, and star detection https://chaoticnebula.com/pixinsight-image-solver/ #Astrophotography
The M90 spiral galaxy among the sea of stars.
New blog post!
I am back at astrophotography, and this time I can do it from my house, no need to freeze myself in the field. And so I was able to do the longest acquisition time ever for me, almost seven hours.
Spring is here so the target of choice was […]

KDE notification informing that "Memory Shortage Avoided", and that Pixinsight has been terminated by the Linux kernal.
Today I've been integrating 270 exposures, 90s seconds each, for a total of 6h 45m, with darks, biases and flats.
First time, an hour in, there was a temporary power loss and I had to start from the beginning.
Second time, hour and a half in, Pixinsight […]

Looking pretty good so far! Just finished the pre-processing stage... Full processing to follow. This galaxy is actually huge!" 🔭
We’ll see how it turns out after processing...
M101 feels a bit cramped on my IMX533 sensor...

Arrrrrrg 😱, I opened my M101 lights folder in #Pixinsight / #WBPP, an error has occurred... in Windows Explorer, on my hard drive, the folder has disappeared... I’ve just lost all my lights and flat frames from the last two days’ session 🔭 that I’d stored on a hard drive... 😢
Hi, here's the Leo Triplet of galaxies from last night. I took a few days off work this week and for some inexplicable reason the UK weather has actually turned out ok.

I have a question for you astrophotographers out of curiosity: What other image processing software do you like to use for deep-sky photography besides PixInsight, and why?
Thank you in advance.

A first look at some M63 data from last night. I'm hoping to grab some more data this evening so that I can process the full LRGB image tomorrow.

M45 – The Pleiades
I’ve reprocessed my image from 27/12/2025 🔭, trying to bring out the surrounding gas and the IFN more clearly. For only 20x180sec, the result isn’t too bad. 🙂

the galaxy M33, north is up. the core of the galaxy is tan colored with blue spiral arms going out counterclockwise. knots of Ha are seen interspersed throughout the spiral arms.
M33 from bortle 8, last step was new denoising tool called "Prism Deep". probably best used on images that are noisier than this one but still helped a little bit. Ha added via R continuum subtraction. #pixinsight #m33 #galaxy #astrophotography #HaRGB #prismdeep #astro @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social
a swirling nebula with a blue core and orange surroundings. tendrils of gas reach out to the right and top of the nebula, which is though to resemble a rose seen from above.

M97 Owl Nebula + M108 Surfboard Galaxy, 14th March.
Not much time between clouds, but the end result came out okay given the short integration time.

The Double Cluster, also known as Caldwell 14, consists of the open clusters NGC 869 and NGC 884, which are close together in the constellation Perseus. Both visible to the naked eye, NGC 869 and NGC 884 lie at a distance of about 7,500 light-years in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy.
Despite the awful weather I did manage to get 5 hours on the #DoubleCluster. I have had another play with the data in #PixInsight. Captured with my @zwoastro #asi533mcPro with the @optolong #Lpro filter. #Astrophotography

The Trunk Nebula. ~3,000 light years
New IC1396 processing (7 hours total exposure)
I reworked the Trunk using MAS (MultiscaleAdaptiveStretch) for the stretch... this new tool is very powerful indeed. I was able to recover quite a bit of detail and bring out more depth in the image. #Pixinsight #MAS 🔭
