  1. Came here from KSP from the daily kerbal. All i have to say is the best video i've seen so far. You made me laugh after a long time and i hope you can make this a series (can't wait for the other parts of the story). The dialogs, the voiceover, the references, the editing are amazing, i just can't stop watching the video over and over.

     

    Two questions,

     

    What the heck is that thing jumping up and down behind Excell? Also i want to see PowerPoint Kerman. :sticktongue:

    Is Werner a badie? I mean the way he says that line at 3:02 gives me the idea of being a secret villain.

     

  2. I started the translation in Greek and i use as a template the Russian one since it has the most text translated, but i have some questions.

     At the main menu screen the text size is very large, how do i make it smaller? Also i noticed that the stock game at the main menu screen the text is with dots, when i entered mine i did not have the same effect, how can i make it look like the stock font?

  3. I am not a fan of HDR i have seen many photos and most of them go too far and the photos end up to ''edgy'' for my liking. My M45 was done only with levels, curves, masks and layers using Photoshop and the fact that i had a very good set of data.

     

    Here is a video for blending the core of M45 at an overexposed image, you can use this method for galaxies too like M31 or overexposed stars

    Unfortunately it's in Greek but i believe you can make out the procedure, if not i can help you. First make sure you align the two photos with the software of your choice and then use an image processing software, at this video the photographer uses the final combined images but the best choice is to do this method only at the L layer and then combine the color.

    Ok, for 2 hours there was an open sky yesterday and i could do the third try with RGB, this time successfull. Conditions were suboptimal, it was windy and there were a few cirrus clouds. I couldn't get the image any sharper.

    RGB, no L because i don't yet know how to combine them properly without L dominating the colours, 8*2min each colour, no biasses, no darks, cooler inactive. Just stacked with DSS and colour channels combined with Fitswork. No further corrections.

    Will do a more sophisticated version and post it on Astrobin and hope to get a few tips from the savants ...

    My stuff is almost ready now (except for the tilt in axis), good weather may come :-)

    In order to remove the overexposed core of the nebula you need to take very short exposures eg. 20x10secs of L and then blend that to the main L channel using an image processing program

    Here is my take on the Orion nebula with the mentioned technique

    At this link you can see my other photos i have http://www.astrobin.com/users/kookoo_gr/

    Very nice photos you got there keep up the good work.

  5. i am more hyped about this version of KSP than the previous ones. I downloaded the pre-release version and it runs at 60fps with no problems so far at my 3 year laptop, clearly the optimizations are off the chart and loading times are way faster than before. The new parts are amazing and i can hardy recognize the Mk1 Pod. Also new loading hints (Doing Science, Rebuilding VAB). The new fonts are very beautiful. The sad thing is won't be able to test the pre-release version due to real life but i will start playing KSP again after a year of hiatus once 1.2 is released

    What kind of controversy? Bring me up to speed on the news from Dres Today magazine

    I didn't know there was a easter egg on Tylo too! Very cool

    actually there are two, the cave and the carl sagan face (the face was accidentally removed(?) when they introduced the new terrain in the game that messed up all the easter eggs)

  7. I finally caught up with the story, amazing writing, the suspense is killing me. My theory on the backstory is that an ancient forgotten evil god named JustJim was imprisoned by the early Kerbals and is manipulating the current Kerbals through the krakens so that it can invade the Kerbal universe through the Mun arches/gates with a huge kraken army (the monoliths are what hold the gates closed) and claim its revenge MWUUAAHAHAHAHHA cough:cough:cough

  8. More on the black drop effect for Venus and Mercury.

    Also this is my image i took from the transit, it is a composite image of photographs i took during the transit, sadly the whole transit was not visible were i live.

    Finally two videos i took from the start of the transit.

     

    For those interested the next Mercury transit is at November 2019
