@kbin.socialBasically, no. It doesn't create data. It is trained on perfect images, which are then ruined in ways that we astrophotographers only know too well: haze, tilt, focus etc. etc.
The AI then tries to get back from the shit picture to the perfect picture, recording steps taken. So in essence, it applies these steps to your image as per its training. This has all be verified, there's a 2 hour Adam Block video where he compares his good data to NASA's amazing data and you can see BXT is making his data more true.
Topaz on the other hand creates stuff that is not there all the time. I have zero hesitation using and recommending BXT.
The new version (currently in Beta) of BlurXTerminator by Russel Croman is going to fix many of your previous issues. He's training it on tilt, coma and focus issues and it's exicting that in true Google style software is going to be able to assist with hardware issues soon.
Saying that, in terms of bang for buck absolutely cannot fault the Askar! I had a Sharpstar 94 for years and only just sold it. They are great scopes.
Lovely images :)
Sincere thanks for the list. I listed Sync because I used that for years on Reddit, and I just consider it default. The updates were endless and free and the sheer quality of the app was notable.
So API is the issue? How is it that Lemmy instances have an API - have the created their own? I am non-schooled in this - just not used to it because I have been on Reddit for years.
