God dang YT keeps making my videos darker than the original, so most scenes don't really have the same color and brightness as when I was rendering it. I'm going to assume you're rendering with sony vegas: try adding a "sony levels" fx and set the preset to "computer RGB to studio RG...

Wow what equipment did you use? Some old equipment I got when I was 12 (Nexstar 6SE). I've since switched out the less-than-ideal mount, but I am still stuck with the scope and an even older camera (450D).  Some more recent DSO attempts. Forgive me for the noise and aberrations, camera doesn't perf...

Welp didn't realize this existed on the forums, honestly should have expected it. Here's some moon pics i took two months ago https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/244239552829456384/589470882460729354/moonerism.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/244239552829456384/589470908616409136/almost...

Here's a simpler one. If you look closely enough, you might be able to see what part of that larger composition this was used in.

Still haven't figured out how to remove duplicates. However, with the most recent 64-bit update, I have sucessfully ran a 49.3 million stars pak, albeit with a lot of suffering. I also got a 10M, 30M and 78M (the entire catalog of stars with radius values) that I will upload as addons sometime in th...

Yeah, that is practically documentary-level material. In fact, it IS documentary level, since I've seen some otherwise top-notch astronomy films with absolutely terrible graphics. It yet again proves that SE has amazing potential for educational or entertainment applications. I saw an amazing one d...

did a thing again yay

Thanks Phunnie, do I need to replace the files I downloaded lol (800k, 2M and 5M) or are those the same as before?  I downloaded them on the same day I made that post thanking you- 12/8 or 12/9 I think. I see this in the changelog- also there is no 28M star file.  You can go higher with stars than ...

Well I got super side-tracked and ended up deciding to cut a flat cross section of the plane of the milky way to maybe get a glimpse of where the nearest dust "clouds" are. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/355433678261714945/522515074913402943/scr00341.png and well while doing that I...

25140 Updated to V2.9. All details in changelog. Can you publish the new program you used to create the new catalogs? And the parameters necessary for the Gaia query? I'll need to make some changes to the code so it takes into consideration the new HR diagram based algorithm I've implemented and co...

You could, it might take a while to load because SE will have to delete a substantial amount of duplicate stars. I'll keep that idea in mind and I might make other paks in the future when I'll have time. I do really want to make a pak with giants and above only, as well as some based on apparent ma...

Well for one it is the most incomplete thing on earth, and is only useful for one thing. Converting a specific SE catalog to another specific SE catalog. The one I used for clusters is even worse. It has one for creating a cluster and one for removing it from the main sheet. It's also wirtten in C++...
