I've got a challenge for you! Process my M33 data (30 hours: 22 L, 3 RGB, 5 Ha) without using neural network AI tools! Can you do it? Here is a processing tutorial for the "Real Intelligence Challenge." I know that you can do better! Try it! The data are here on my github page:
github.com/deepskydetail/no.ai.challenge
@stefan_astro's video on adding Ha to galaxies: youtube.com/watch?v=gRqj1nCSk_w
Shoutout to the following channels featured in the shirts I wore. Check out their channels!
