Quick summary· AI-generated
Vaonis has launched "We Process Your Image," a community challenge inviting users to submit RAW TIFF files and Singularity JPEGs captured with Vaonis telescopes (minimum 4 hours of integration or 2 mosaic cycles). Selected submissions are professionally processed using tools like SIRIL, Graxpert, and Affinity Photo, with processing workflows published as full video tutorials. Winners receive goodies. The article also links to additional Vaonis resources on post-processing workflows, acquisition time optimization, mosaic techniques, and lunar/solar image enhancement.
Excerpt from Vaonis - Our travel journal
Going further with the images you capture with your Vaonis smart telescope.
Capturing the night sky with a Vaonis smart telescope is already an incredible experience: you set up, you frame your target, and you watch your image build itself, minute after minute, into something real.
But if you want to push your results further and create an even more personalized final image, image processing is the next step. It helps you reveal faint details, refine contrast, improve color balance, and shape an aesthetic that matches your own style.
To help you get there, we’re building more learning content and practical demonstrations based on real user data.
