M81 and M82 - Two galaxies, one story. How M81 deformed M82, triggering violent star formation processes (Starburst). Astrophysical analysis of the most famous pair in Ursa Major and the IFN dust challenge.
After recording a Moon video (in SER, AVI, or other formats), many beginners skip the pre-processing step in PIPP and directly load files into AutoStakkert!. However, PIPP solves critical recording issues that significantly improve the efficiency and quality of the final stack. During video recording, even with a perfectly aligned…
