Star-Separated Processing with Ron Brecher | 2024-06-09

Current AI-based tools like RC Astro's StarXTerminator and StarNet2 do an amazing job of removing stars from nebulae and galaxy images. PixInsight Ambassador Ron Brecher returns to TAIC to demonstrate techniques for processing the starless and stars-only images separately before recombining them into a final image.

Ron is an avid backyard astronomer with more than 25 years of experience. He is a PixInsight Ambassador, and the Technical Reviewer for both editions of the highly acclaimed reference text "Inside PixInsight". Ron is one of the founders of Masters of PixInsight, where you can find live and recorded workshops covering all aspects of deep-sky image processing. Ron also provides one-on-one astrophotography tutoring and support services online. Ron's photos and articles are regularly featured in print and online magazines, journals, CD covers, calendars, and more. Ron writes for astronomy publications in the United States, Canada, and the UK. He is a contributing editor for Sky and Telescope magazine.
