  • Great job getting through the material!I don't have a particular place to post images on my site. You are welcome to post a link to where your picture resides (or upload to a cloud server).  -the Blockhead
  • Just temporally.I announced recently I will be creating a course for this called Deep Sky Academy.I believe I do have a simple globular example here:https://www.adamblockstudios.com/categories/m13(the fact that it is OSC doesn't matter for your purp…
  • Yes! Sorry...have been out. Those are the magic numbers.I can't remember the latest video I demonstrated this... but I intend to make a course on ImageBlend. It will be part of this course tangentially. -the Blockhead
  • Well..I suspect it isn't likely you are going to have many of these master frames to combine.If you have three or more you would just use ImageIntegration without rejection. You want ImageIntegration to apply the proper weights to the images when th…
  • I will be putting this into the FastTrack course on my new site.I did release the vidoes...but not incorporate them in new pages on my old site. The videos are available as Recent Video links from the member's page when you log in.Just click on the …
  • I should add, you can of course change the display of an already permanently stretched image. This confuses people sometimes. The STF doesn't care what kind of image you apply it to. -the Blockhead

  • The STF is display only.  It isn't changing the data and it is just affecting the way things are displayed. Correct The other transformations (Curves, Histogram, GHS, etc.) are all permanent stretches/alterations.  In other words, they aren't just c…

  • Hmm...GOod question... I think...https://mailchi.mp/8714025a0412/adamblockstudios-outlook-for-12744856https://mailchi.mp/f882ac6abc11/adamblockstudios-outlook-for-12741047https://mailchi.mp/d041053012b4/adamblockstudios-outlook-for-12740732https://…
  • Bigger probably means a longer focal length.That might make it easier to see the issue with co-alignment- but perhaps harder to keep aligned.But the issue is keeping the two telescopes aligned.  I am not an expert on acquisition nuances (actually..I…
  • Excellent... now you are playing the GAME .-the Blockhead
  • You just need to have the repository address. Update your repositories (or reset them entirely to get a fresh install of all of them).  As far as I know. .there are no issues. -the Blockhead
  • When you log in to my site (still the old one... have not released the new one yet)- you will see a link to join my e-mail list. It should be automatic when you purchase access from the start.  https://mailchi.mp/150fd19303b4/adamblockstudios-e-mail…
  • I think the information you want is in FastTrack Training (I just updated the content). -the Blockhead
  • Yeah, I think it doesn't add much value to do superlum with NB. Even if you were doing NB alone... the bands are likely seeing different structures...so unlike a continuum source... the coadding of the data really doesn't do much.  This is different…
  • Hmm... I think there is another component to your logic you might want to consider.Narrowband data lets through (is much less) light right?The issue is, when you create a "super luminance" you are also weighting the images.If you weight the NB data.…
  • Indeed... if your system is changing between sessions (or light frames)... yes, you need to match flats with the lights taken under the *exact* same conditions. -the Blockhead
  • An ADM adapter provides up-down and left-right. It is what I installed on my telescope.In term of field  rotation due to guiding... focus has nothing to do with it,-the Blockhead
  • Larger would make it harder...not easier I think.-the Blockhead
  • If repeatable... I am certain PI developers would be interested in seeing this.That is quite a find. I can imagine some ways NXT might mess up MCG... but not Gradient Correction. Perhaps in the analysis of the small scale structures... it finds none…
  • No I mean something else... the guide scope and main scope need to be co-linear precisely. There also cannot be any flexure between them. You need to align both on the same star. But as I say...this will not always be enough. Flexure will be an issu…
