  • Thanks! It would help to see your file names for the FLats.According this this you do not have a flat with a fillename that contains "20250227" for example. This is either because you literally do not... or because the grouping keyword you used for …

  • LOL... you (or they) need to adjust the rejection tolerance... So what strikes me here is that you are using TWO different cameras. Cameras can have two different responses (overall gain setting). This could affect the kind of rejection you are seei…

  • Generally the issue is that the grouping keyword is found in multiple places.I think the move to the new site might have tweaked this forum's ability to accept images. Could you please post links to the images where you have uploaded to some cloud d…

  • Most times you whip out the clone stamp tool...you are not being clever. You could use MLT to create a mask for only stars (or only nebula) and then just write zeros to the image. No clone stamp necessary. -the Blockhead

  • Hi Edward, When you exclude a frame, another frame (the next one a the "bottom" of the best frames) will be included. So the total number of frames being used to integrate together will be what the chose "Frames" number is in play. In the case of th…

  • Scott, I did begin taking all of these suggestions into account. 1. I indicate in my introductory videos (top of the page when you log in) that you can start with the Workflow examples if you want. 2. Look at the very first workflow example:https://…

  • 1. 15% - 20% is a healthy overlap. You want to leave room to transition from one image to another. 2. Correct regarding the integration of pixels. Concerning Mosaics... actually for the overlaps there are different ways to treat them. You can indeed…

  • HI Mark, 1. This is fixed on the new site. Working on this. 2. Fixed on the new site. But see below...3. I believe you are talking about FastTrack Training. See the picture below...there is a video on the FastTrack( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1…

  • I will take your feedback and work it into the new content. Scott: Just a quick point. "I tried Adam's workflow and it did not work for me." That always stings and people rely too heavily on literal steps... because they do not see the patterns in t…

  • HI Ronald, Thanks for the feedback. Could you try using an incognito window and see if you can still get it to do this?-the Blockhead

  • Hi Edward, 1. Yes, absolutely.2. Correct3. Correct... in fact it is a little bit stronger than that. The current method of caching data will *always create new files* and NEVER overwrite. So... be aware if you did run something twice you will see mu…
