Re: Topaz Photo AI - opinions...? (+my latest image)

I used Topaz AI on my best shot (version 2 first here) and tried Topaz. It's clean and a bit artistic for me, is it too much for the purists ?

Good idea Brian but here in Sherbrooke, Quebec, we got 3 min 25 sec. of totality. I can't miss it so we will decide to leave by car 48 hours before....

Bad stats here in Sherbrooke Brian, so we plan to do a few hundred km toward west (by car).

The 8th of April week in 2023 was sunny and Texas was bad.

I got a great surprise with this .avi file this morning (90fps for 42 sec.).
I kept 100 of them and I don't know why, it was my best ever. All the others where quite 'normals'.

SW 254mm, Astrosolar 3.8, Astronomiks OIII 12nm, ASI290.
