  • This is a complicated question... and answer depends on some factors. Here are some "rules..." 1. The profile of noise changes as you combine images. So there is one profile of the "linear" (natural) noise. Processing the image or combining with oth…
  • A gift. Enjoy.Thanks, By the way, I did adjust the TTL ("Time to Live") value of my server. This will ask the server to automatically refresh content after a given time interval. This means you will not see stale content (that I have changed) for su…
  • Done
  • oh right!I have not updated to the module...Done.. sorry about that!I will edit my page on this as well. -the Blockhead
  • Hi Marc, The colormask script was updated a few years ago- partially inspired by my observation that one part of it was not correct. This bit was corrected and *greatly* improved! You can now find the repository at:https://www.cosmicphotons.com/pi-s…
  • I did plan on doing it..but your post indeed motivate me to do it NOW. lol I think the approach I show would be very similar.1. Produce the HOO version of the image. You might need to do the slow stretch/HDRMT.2. Create a colorized SII..that is not …
  • Hi Jerry, I have many answers to your question... but also many questions because I do not know what you did.I would like to say that my content on NB FastTrack is not to show you step-by-step that works for all objects. This is unreasonable for nar…
  • Those donuts are SHARP..they must be close to the sensor/camera. If you changed the camera and filters... when all that remains is the glass in front of them both. No, dust on the mirror WILL NOT produce images showing the obstruction. You can prove…
  • Yes... good. However, that image looks a little bright. Make certain it isn't too bright before you add the SII...and make certain the SII isn't too bright either. It will make it easier. -the Blockhead
  • DBE isn't really for color correction (although it can remove a color bias). It is more about the gradient and getting a more uniform result. The "kermit" pixels will still stand out no matter what color they end up being via BN or any other means. …
  • Malcolm, 1. Different objects have different degrees of emission. I assume you are talking about using your own data. You did not indicate the object. The strategy can change.2. NB FastTrack is an introductory course. I mean come on..I can't possib…
  • Worst case you can just extract the Red channel for the SII/Hb image.-the Blockhead
  • Yep... and people wonder why I don't put everything in Fundamentals or introductory courses. Look how many combinations there are. Look how large NB as a topic is. Anyway- DBXtract will get the right result for the HA/OIII filter. So that is clear. …
  • I have now remade that video in the vain of the new NB FastTrack methods and without the "ooops."https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/nb-fasttrack-dragons-ara-update I hope this is satisfactory.-the Blockhead
  • Yes... In fact I am working on something right now. I always seem to add stuff.Slowly grow? Geez... went as fast as I could. lol -the Blockhead
  • Oh... I understand. Indeed..this is a video I made a while ago. Yep, you found that I learn like everyone else. The fact you caught it means: 1. You learned.2. My more current information tends to have higher quality info. -the Blockhead
  • Hi Zak, I have made NB FastTrack available and I do address a number of your suggestions/questions above. I hope this works out! -the Blockhead
  • Yes, on the forum this breadcrumb will take to you the forum home.The larger home goes back to my site. On my site I also have a breadcrumb home that links back to the member page.  There may be a caching thing where you an see messages- but not be …
  • I suspect you are not looking at the 'Recent Discussions'... I am answering questions from members almost every moment of the day. I just completed an answer before getting to yours. I believe if you click on "PixInsight" you will also see all of th…
  • A couple of things... 1. There is a band in the original RGB (though a different color). When DBE does its job- it will attempt to correct it. However, the band is a "small" spatial feature that requires special treatment in terms of sample placemen…
