This article is kinda not that great. It's shallow, skips all the information about stacking, calibration frames and all the base layer needed to get to the editing step.
It also has steps out of order (gradient removal is done first), and doesn't even talk about linear/non-linear edits.
Highly recommend picking up pixinsight and a book on how to use it.
Bona fides: I'm an astrophotographer, you can see my work in the link in my profile (not posting it here because I'm not trying to promote it).
- dylan604 1y agoThe internet has been around long enough that pretty much everything has been posted. The older content is probably better content as it was done as an actual write up by knowledgeable people vs new content written by someone looking to be a thought leader to boost their influencer profiles. Nevermind the AI generated content. I have no idea the background of TFA's author, but it is a noticeable trend that makes my use of the internet decrease.
- malfist 1y agoLooking more through this blog, it's clear that even if there's a human directing it, it's just blogspam. Every post is filled with surface level drivel and tons of affiliate links. Look at their most recent post about the horsehead nebula: https://astroimagery.com/astrophotography/deep-space-astrophotography/horsehead-nebula/ https://astroimagery.com/astrophotography/deep-space-astroph... It's just straight up bad advice with affiliate link after affiliate link after affiliate link.
