• Abstract: Astronomical surveys and the growing involvement of amateur astronomers are producing more sky images than ever before, and this calls for automated processing methods that are accurate and robust. Detecting Deep Sky Objects -- such as galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters -- remains challenging because of their faint signals and complex backgrounds. Advances in Computer Vision and Deep Learning now make it possible to improve and automate this process. In this paper, we present the training and comparison of different detection models (YOLO, RET-DETR) on smart telescope images, using High-Performance Computing (HPC) to parallelise computations, in particular for robustness testing.

• Astronomical Images Quality Assessment with Automated Machine Learning [0.0]
  Electronically Assisted Astronomy consists of capturing deep sky images with a digital camera coupled to a telescope to display views of celestial objects that would have been invisible through direct observation. This practice generates a large quantity of data, which may then be enhanced with dedicated image editing software after observation sessions. In this study, we show how Image Quality Assessment can be useful for automatically rating astronomical images, and we also develop a dedicated model by using Automated Machine Learning.
