Hi Adam,Your experience is not a shortcut! It is an asset.I will try cranking up saturation to show things to go back and try to enhance. Thanks for the good tip.Roger

Hi John,Thanks for your reply, and explanations. I will stick to the script and use it as it was designed and not guess what it could be used for. Thanks, Roger

Hi Adam,Yes, some images in my set with low NWEIGHT had high noise weight (normal integration) and were visually 'cappier' than others. Thus the image integration noise weight, as used in image integration, was not 100% reliable measure of image qua…

Hi Adam,Yes, I did overlook to make the same images as reference. Now I rerun with same image number for NSG script, NSG data image integration, and normal (non NSG) image integration. Remember, my data is from urban site with lots of light polluti…

Hi, I asked my questions, and others, in the PI forum just now. I searched first but too many irrelevant results. Let's see if I get some answers there.Roger

Hi,I found the missing PSF views. They were off screen. Once I scrolled down, there they were. Sometimes the PI main screen gets bigger than the full window size and has a scroll bar on right side..Roger

Adam,I will put my question in the PI forum, which is probably where I should have put it.Thanks, Roger

I am smiling from ear to ear!Well written response.Adam,Personally I think the PI team has been very accommodating to their customers by continuing to develop the original Batch Processing to WBPP, and now upgrading to WBPP2.0. WBPP is getting close…

Adam,Thanks for answering my questions. I was driven to ask about MLT vs HDMRT as I did not know if multiple usages increased noise in the image, which we want to avoid. So now I understand to do HDMRT in combination with other stretches. Best regar…

You are funny guy.I have to admit I took at least 2x the video length to get through the Mask videos 1 and 2 (yawn) because I was nodding off. I do know the need for them to understand what is behind masks. That means including the Pixel Math tutori…
-
Keith,I also use a color CMOS camera. I greatly reduced my problems with small black spots visible in nebula when I learned (from Adam) to do CC as part of WBPP 2.0. This cancels any hot pixel leftovers before debayering. A debayered hot pixel is di…

AdamYour skillful weaving into the Fundamentals and WBPP2.0 videos the considerations for one shot color camera considerations was the perfect blend for understanding the differences vs Mono and also vs CCD. We all appreciate your natural ability t…

Hi Adam,Thks for the update. Yes, the Cosmic Canvas series does not open with Fundamentals license. I do suggest adding a simple (straightforward) nebula Workflow video into Fundamentals as many beginning imagers do them. Then they could move onto H…

I just discovered I have access to Cosmic Canvas series. I this the right place?Roger
-
Adam,Yes, I saw to apply StarAlignment to the Debayered image in FastTrack, and forgot your M51 video used mono data. BTW, the Discussions in FastTrack were great! Roger
-
I will watch the grouping video again and think how the folder method can work. I really appreciate your advice. Now my turn for study! I used CCD Stack (after I learned Maxim DL6 is not so good for processing). I found CCD Stack good for calibratin…
-
Hi Adam,You are definitely a funny guy! That is what makes the world, and galaxies, fun.Now that I have read, as you say, the last chapter in the book, I am going to watch Fundamentals for additional details and understanding of what I have missed d…

Thank you for your further insights. I really like your style of explaining what is behind what we are doing, and not blindly telling us Step 1 to Step 10. For example Part 8 of WBPP you created the Pictorial showing the components that make up the…

Thanks! I get it now.

Adam,Thanks for your answers. It adds a lot to my understanding.Thanks, Roger
