  • Whoah... no idea. I will send to developer and see if he has a clue. You might need to get some screenshots. There is a Software Development section on the official PixInsight forum with this script as a thread. That would be where to post I think. …
  • You need to chose a reference in each filter (an OIII reference for the OII data... an SII reference for the SII data). Above you said you used the Ha as a reference for all filters. That is the reason why it did not work.I hoping for an "OOooooh" r…
  • Yeah... invariably I will likely do an example with them. In Horizons, my example on GUM 15 does show a creative way to increase contrast... lol . -the Blockhead
  • Thanks.But still... write back with your telescope focal length and ccd chip pixel size... lets compute it real quick and make certain the Universe is in order! -the Blockhead
  • Yes, I demonstrate in my drizzle tutorial as well. When you use PCC (without drizzle)- what numbers do you usually use?(Did you review my PCC section?) To calculate your platescale use the formula 206265/(Focal length of your telescope in millimeter…
  • Hi John, Perhaps I didn't make that clear enough in my tutorial. This is done on a per filter basis. You certainly do not mix filter data. That makes a very big difference. I know I mentioned this..but I do not think I repeated this many times.  Reg…
  • Two things...1. I have made A LOT of videos! lol. Please give me the video and timestamp of interest. 2. My guess is that it depends on what is in the image!  But first, let me refresh what I might have been demonstrating... and you might want to sh…
  • Yeah..I have those in a two column table... I should ask for help with that. -the Blockhead
  • I have never been able to get LN to really work well... it produces artifact (darkness around bright features and things) and you cannot control the result- all you have is a 128-256 parameter thing. So far there are no artifacts with NSG. Keep in m…
  • Please see the comment above this one...  "I would try to delete updates.xri *), before PI is started and press RESOURCES/Updates/Check for Updates. In that case, Pi can not find the history of updates and forces a complete re-scan." This file is in…
  • Ok... I tried..it works!!-The Blockhead
  • I do have an answer... but I have not tested it yet... and it may just be a hack. From another developer: "I don’t know, why PixInsight is not walking through all repositories after each version update. In such cases, I would try to delete updates.x…
  • I have not used this recently ... Really the developer (Hartmut) is the correct person to connect with on this!His friend Herbert Walter maintains the repository... so I would connect there:http://www.skypixels.at/contact.html Alternatively Harmut …
  • Each time I do videos with less than ideal subs (please look at the M51 example from Josep Drudis in Fundamentals) I get complaints it is too hard to follow along because dealing with all of the problems gets in the way. I am told to stick to the ma…
  • Thanks Roger!
  • Hi Thomas, I would consider this kind of thing Horizons content. It isn't "fundamental" because it is more specific in terms of processing. Yes, in a way I touch on this- but I do not have a good example. You did not explicitly ask- and I dislike as…
  • I think Blink is best. I can't think of a better method. At the moment our eye-brain abilities are far better than any algorithmic/AI method. the Blockhead
  • HI Pamela, Can you explain what you did and show some screenshots?Thanks,-the Blockhead
  • Yes, creating a mask that covers the offending diffractors will definitely solve the problem at the expense of a small amount of aperture. Just be certain the mask has a smooth and sharp edge to it. The masks that I have put on some RCs in order to …
  • I would highly recommend you get onboard with WBPP now. I demonstrate in my videos there is *no* difference in results between manual and WBPP...and WBPP offers some the very features you are looking for.  -the Blockhead
