Photographing a COMET (Pt. 2) - Siril and GIMP
Channel: Nebula Photos
Date: 2023-02-03

Part 1 is here: https://youtu.be/IfIZSt5NKl0 In this part, I show how to process a comet image with the free, cross-platform programs Siril, Starnet++, and the Gnu Image Manipulation Program.

== Software Used == 
Siril: https://siril.org 
Starnet++: https://starnetastro.com
Gnu Image Manipulation Program: https://gimp.org

The Siril part of this video tutorial was based on the written tutorial about working with comets on their website here: https://siril.org/tutorials/comet/

== Permissions fix to get Starnet++ working on MacOS ==
Go to the folder that holds StarNet++ in terminal with the cd command (as I show in the video) and then try running these commands in sequence (you can just copy and paste them one line at a time and press return after each line):
chmod +x ./starnet++
chmod +x ./run_starnet.sh
