Processed in Siril, GraXpert and AP

Hey everyone! Over the last few nights, I’ve been waking up just before sunrise to catch the Veil Nebula. It’s still pretty low on the horizon right now (Southern Hemisphere), but I couldn't resist trying to capture this massive supernova remnant.

This is a mosaic of 294 images X 20s (Alt-Az)

Because the data was a little tricky (and cropped because of noise and light pollution), I decided to experiment and processed it using two completely different workflows. Honestly, I like both! Each version brings out different details, structures, and colors.

Version 1: Follows an awesome workflow used by u/A_Reye2678 (Who has very good images), which gave me a really fresh result.

Version 2: My standard route using Siril, GraXpert, and Photoshop.

Since it was so low, I had to fight a fair amount of light pollution. My plan is to do a much longer integration later in the season when it sits higher in the sky, and I also want to experiment doing a comparison with and without the LP filter.

Hi! I am having a little problem with the SyQon Prism 2.0.0 Script. When running it, the image appears with a lot of black squares at the left side of the image (Image 1). The Siril Version is 1.4.3 and i'm using S30 Pro data. I found some people saying that it's a Siril bug regarding the "GPU_Manager" at the Core Menu, but i can't install PyTorch because it isn't compatible with my GPU (RX 560) (Image 2).

Is there any way to use the script and not having the black squares?

Hey everyone! I wanted to share this shot of a small part of Messier 24, also known as the Sagittarius Star Cloud.

Most of the time when we look at the Milky Way, we're seeing huge clouds of dark dust blocking our view. But M24 is a little special. It’s basically a giant window in that dust. Through this gap, we can see thousands of stars that are over 10,000 light years away. It’s not a single cluster, just a massive, deep view into one of our galaxy's spiral arms.

I’m honestly surprised at how much detail came through with only 14 minutes of data from a super bright city center!

This image captures the rare conjunction between the Great Orion Nebula and comet C/2025 R3 PANSTARRS, an icy visitor that won’t grace our skies again for another 170,000 years.

Capturing this from a Bortle 8 sky was no easy task. I had to process the image manually, step by step, to rescue the comet's signature green glow while keeping Orion’s details sharp. It was a challenging process

Workflow: Manual processing in Siril and GraXpert, with final touches in Lightroom.

Over the last few days, I’ve been capturing 10s subs of the comet. It’s currently sitting quite low on the horizon, but it’s steadily climbing toward Orion. These are some of the results I’ve stacked and processed in Siril, experimenting with both automated scripts and manual workflows. I’m looking for tips and feedback on how to optimize my comet stacking, especially as it approaches M42

Captured with the Seestar S30 from Córdoba, Argentina.
To achieve this result, I used Lucky Imaging
I started recording a 7 minute RAW video (approximately 8,600 frames)
Alt-Az Mode

The workflow began in PIPP, followed by AutoStakkert, where I stacked the sharpest frames to maximize detail. The final "Mineral" look was achieved in Photoshop through iterative brightness and contrast adjustments, followed by stacking multiple saturation layers.

The Great Orion Nebula (M42) was the first deep-sky object I ever captured. Back then (october 2025), using a Nikon P610 and doing manual shutting, the result wasn’t great, but it was the spark that started my journey. Since we are in autumn (Southern Hemisphere), the observation window is getting shorter, so I had to spend several nights gathering data. This time I used different exposure times to reveal the faint outer gas clouds without blowing out the detail in the core and the Trapezium.

Looking at this comparison with my first stack, I’m officially at the point of no return with this hobby, and I’m loving every step of the way. Hope you enjoy this version as much as I enjoyed the process!

Post-Processing Workflow:
- Siril: Initial data pre-processing and calibration
- GraXpert: BGE, Deconvolution and Denoising
- Siril again: Image Plate Solving and iterative stretching (carefully protecting the core)
- Photoshop: Final touches (Levels, Contrast, Colors, Shadows, Raw Camera Filter)

If you have any questions about the workflow or processing, feel free to ask! I’d be happy to answer them
