In this tutorial, Co-Founder of Telescope Live, Alexander Curry will introduce the Cosmic Clarity tool for removing satellite trails from astrophotography images. This AI-based standalone software is specifically designed for astrophotographers and works seamlessly with any processing workflow. Key steps include:
When and How to Use Cosmic Clarity:
- Learn how to apply the tool on raw data as a new “step one” before image stacking to ensure clean results.
Setting Up the Tool:
- Configure input and output folders, and disable the “clip satellite trail to zero” option to ensure smooth blending with the background.
Batch Processing and Live Monitoring:
- Run the tool in batch processing mode to batch process multiple an entire dataset folder.
- Explore the live monitoring feature for real-time satellite trail removal during image acquisition.
This tutorial demonstrates how Cosmic Clarity effectively eliminates satellite trails, making a significant improvement to low-integration datasets and enhancing image quality.
