Adventures in Astrophotography Post-Processing
These days I do most of my blog-type posting on aus.social, a Mastodon instance. Sometimes though the limited formatting makes that a poor choice. This is one such case. Today I want to take you through the post-processing steps I go through to create a final astrophotographic artwork. And these are artworks, not scientific records. I could use the same data to perform astrometric observations, but I don't. I like to create beautiful images. Knowing the things I am creating pictures of is part of creating that beauty, and that does require some scientific knowledge, but it is only a means to an end. So, let's start with what comes out of my telescope. I use either a DwarfII or Dwarf3 smart telescope for my imaging, and what comes out of that is already pre-processed in a variety of ways. The telescope does its own stacking, and has a built-in link to a cloud post processor. So what I get is two images - one denoised and with basic image optimisations performed, and ano...
Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery
Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery For this one I have one clear instruction before we begin. Pick up the cheese, step away from the cheese-board, and get thee to the kitchen. This is a cheese that needs - possibly even demands - some heat. Now I know the kitchen is a bit of a foreign place for the cheese-lover - I mean what use is there of fry-pans or cook-pots? Bear with me though, this journey is worth it. Before we begin, I'm going to take you on a small flight of fancy. Imagine, if you will, that an honest English Cheddar decided to take a holiday on the Continent, and found itself in Switzerland. Maybe seeking some great waterfall to encounter a perilous foe, it instead meets a sweet and charming Emmental. Romance blossoms, the Cheddar settles - foe forgotten, and the two have a child. Roll forward a dozen years and a few more, and this is Raclette. The bitter-edged teenager child - probably miffed that Cheddar failed to find and defeat that foe. Raclette is a cheese...
Are they the ones off Leach Hwy near Cloverdale? Saw them briefly the other day and thought them interesting.
ReplyDeleteI can see them from Temperly Close in Welshpool... They would be towards Leach Hwy.
ReplyDeletewind turbine, airflow leads to lift going in a horizontal angle, centripital force brings the next "wing" into airflow. the oblique curve maximizes this continuing motion at low wind speeds but reduces output at high speed.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately it doesnt have much of a swept area which limits its maximum power. Sadly the 3 blade horizontal axis turbine is still king 8-(.
ReplyDeleteI had an errand down that way today so I detoured a little and took a look. There are 3 of them alongside the new office block at the Toyota vehicle distribution centre on Miles road in Kewdale. The close-up on Google Maps is too old to show them. The blades are bright white, I could see them from the intersection of Abernathy Rd & Leach Hwy.
