Hi Nico, great tutorial as usual! I'm referring to this video for the recent total lunar eclipse, but I encountered some problems: 1. When I ticked the “lunar full disc” optimize option in PIPP and chose the “surface feature” for stabilization mode, after pressing “do processing”, I will get “failed with errors” in the status box. I have searched this problem online but there seems not to be a straight answer to this particular case. It is fine with “object/planetary”. When I do not tick the optimization, the “surface feature” works, but there will be only one image in the generated folder. 2. After ticking AOI (assuming the processing is fine), when I expand the area too much, a Windows error will pop up: something like “unhandled exception”, but I think I’ve figured that out: the area cannot be bigger than 5000x5000 pixels. 3. While using DSS and lowering the threshold to the lowest 2%, I got a result of 2 stars. After deactivating the “median filter”, I got something like 4 stars. I thought it’s enough for alignment. However, after registering for a long time, a warning popped out saying “only one frame out of 48 frames will be stacked”. I also searched this problem and one possible issue seems to be the problem with focusing. I admit that I did not focus the camera perfectly that night, but when checking the pictures one by one, I can easily identify 4 stars in every frame. 4. This is actually not very important: since I first failed with PIPP, I tried to directly use AutoStakkert to align and stack the frames, but no matter how many alignment points I set (both dozens manually and tens of thousands automatically), the result was always not good (bad actually, it seems to not perform alignment at all). Thank you for your time looking through this (It’s actually not a very big deal for me since after choosing the “object/planetary” stabilization mode in PIPP, I still succeed for the stacking)!😄

Help please: 0:29🆘💁♂🆘 I know this image is the later phase of totality, but am I correct to say the two stars below are Zubenelgenubi and Zubeneschamali? I did notice that the moon start to cover the star more to the left, I guess Zubeneschamali and when she later showed up at the upper rim of the moon again (Should I say "StarRise" at the moon's horizon!), at about 10 o'clock position, that was the real climax of the eclipse for my sensations! as viewing it live... The problem: These two stars should be in a more oblique orientation and not a horizontal arrangement as I could see and as we see here. So if I'm wrong in naming, could anyone correct me as to which star these are? I guess farther lower in the constellation Libra or out to the lower left, maybe Lambda and Kappa from constellation Scorpio! PLEASE HELP... and THANKS for that. Long story short and WHAT A NIGHT it was. One that I won't forget in my lifetime and surely feel sad if you couldn't watch it for any reason and have to wait for another supermoon total eclipse that I believe is the next opportunity is scheduled for the year 2058! 🤪
@marvincedrickthiel

We got clouded out in Portland, OR. Was disappointing. Love your pic in the end. Thanks for the tutorial!
@justjerry1078
This is not only a great tutorial for the moon, but it is a great tutorial with PIPP and Autostakert, something I have always had issues with. GREAT VIDEO Nico!

Man, I’ve been struggling with my eclipse data for the last few days. Weather was horrible. Perfect timing
@AstroComposerKarE
@10:08, any ideas why "Manual Draw" isn't enabled for me? So I can't check it off to draw the alignment points.
@victormultanen1981
thank you for giving us hints using free software for stack processing of planetary images.
@guillermohernandez-ching113
Thank you for making this video. Your comments while processing confirm what I found when stacking lunar photos.
@MarkSmith-of5fe
This is very detailed and well explained. Thanks a million. You are the best! Can’t wait to shoot the eclipse tonight!
@Anthonyrodden
Final product was awesome, it was cool to see how these images are created, all the adjustments and “mess ups” like with the halo. ;) Definitely cool to see, thanks!
@stephencox3446
Thanks Nico, for taking the time to explain all the steps and sharing.
@JayNabuLe
Just wanted to say thank you for your tips on your last video about shooting for 1 sec. To get the moon and stars in a single exposure it was my first and I was happy with the outcome. Again thanks and keep the great content coming you are appreciated sir!
@davanti
great video as always!! a hot key in photoshop I’ve found useful recently is holding down alt when clicking the layer mask icon; it automatically inverts the mask so you don’t have to invert the selection!!
@dougcooper4917
Excellent Tutorial Video. Thank You.
@tjcuneo
Enjoyed seeing the entire process and picked up some tips to use in future night sky images. Great tutorial. Thanks.
