But this is unfair!! lolIf you look on the page I published the videos, you will see I have addressed both of your concerns. The first is the first is because I copy/pasted and forgot to edit the line completely. The second, as you discovered, I sup…

Thanks for the suggestions.I am limited in some ways in terms of organization due to the backend stuff. However, I think I am continue to try to move towards some improvements. Wade: concerning notification, I would think most people would strongly …

What you are seeing is that with undersampled data (and noisy images) the auto detect method of CC will think the centers of some stars are hot pixels. They really are in a way- they are bright compared their neighbors so the algorithm does its job.…

When you open WBPP a second time, it automatically puts the newly created master calibration file in the list. So the preference is that where a master file exists, it will chose that over raw files (like you had before you ran WBPP). The pre-proce…

John, Well... as an instructor having the raw files is a must if I ever want to make a video tutorial on it. :) But that isn't the answer you want. I have found from experience that with new processes and techniques that having the raw data- especia…

It is actually a little tricky. (I explain it in a few places.)You have to start a video playing for a few seconds... then when you right click on the video, you will be given the option to download it. The important part...if you have to start the …

Yes, you are welcome to do so. Please do indicate the attribution/credit.Obviously, please do not share the data itself- just the final picture you credited.Thanks!-the Blockhead

Hi Gary, I do not think that is the complete expression. Keep in mind, this formula become the basis of the GAME script. (Which means, you can use the GAME script instead of my cool "manual" formula.) See:https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/Pi…

Hi Les, I don't have a good answer for you at the moment. I plan on making some NB videos very soon.I *can* tell you that my method/technique will not be what you describe. For example, I do not know why PCC would be part of the process? I also woul…

Hi Euripides, The download option was initially a compromise. In the past, my videos have shown up on Torrent sites and other places. Once I make the videos easy to download as a groups- they can be easily stolen. Right clicking on the video itself…

Yes, there are a few areas of the sky, particularly in the northern galactic latitudes for which the catalogs are not complete. I suspect this is the issue.... Indeed... I tried. For future reference you left out the important part of the log on th…

You wouldn't happen to be looking at a COLOR (RGB) image would you?A color image is comprised of three images- not a single one. So you would get three answers... and they would not necessarily be the same. -the Blockhead

Yes, I think to save space they are master flats. (Not much value added to download the raw flats...)-the Blockhead

"But the H2 regions you brought out came out of something I could not see." I think you are correct in that I used a short cut- I know that spiral galaxies of this type have HII regions and the clumpy brighter bits are them... even if I do not see m…

Hi John, It says the files are unavailable or I do not have permission. You might need to change the permissions on them. Typically, without looking at your images, what you describe is either a noisy sensor or a poor/mismatched dark frame. Non-cool…

Thank you John!!

No... you can change this... There is an arrow at the bottom of the screen. It has the readout parameters. Change the probe size to 1 pixel.Then you and I will agree.I really think this is the right answer.
