Title: Are people keen to do another PixInsight session?
Post by: Roberto on Feb 24, 2023, 16:01:29
For those who participated in the previous one and anyone who wants to join?  Maybe now that the Moon is getting brighter we organise another session next week or the week after?

Hi Roberto,
Another PixInsight session would be really good. Can I suggest some possible areas for discussion just based on my personal experience:
- Strategies for processing integrated data;
- Ways of combining RGB data with Luminance;
- Stretching data and the use of the Screen Transfer Function, Histogram Transformation and Curves;
- Linear versus non-linear data.
Also to let you know I have installed both BlurXterminator and NoiseXterminator and I think they are awesome.

Just about to jump into PixInsight so would really appreciate the guide. I'm away next week but if there is a later date then I am definitely interested.

Ok, great and thank you Roy for providing an agenda.  I could do tomorrow morning, Sunday morning or the week after next if we want to include John.   Let me know what works best.  Feel free to ping me via WhatsApp if easier.

I'm afraid I can't make this weekend, so my preference would be the week after next - Tuesday 7, Wednesday 8, Friday 10 or the weekend. Also that way everyone is included.

Should we aim for Tuesday 7th?  8PM on Zoom?  We cannot use the Society's Zoom account but I can send an invitation and if we run out of time we can do another session right after?

I have sent Zoom invitations to two sessions tomorrow starting 8PM and 8:30PM to the four members above who have expressed an interest.  If you think you said you wanted to join and didn't get the invitation, please state your case here!  See you tomorrow.

Hi Roberto,

Sorry but I've been away for a few days without access to my computer and my Forum logon; so if it's not too late, please can I be included.

Cheers
