Not really... basically you need to decide on a general threshold (regardless of the filter). -the Blockhead

All (third party) scripts require you to supply a repository (address) for PixInsight to download the information. This address goes into your Update section (menu item) under Manage Repositories. Scripts are NOT part of PixInisght. You should not e…

The quality of frames (weight measures) are definitely per filter and not global.-the Blockhead

I do not think this is the cause of your issue- but you are doing something you do not intend.Look closely at the calibration screen. Do you see how you have "Auto" Darks for the calibrating the lights? And note there is a check mark in the Darks co…

Indeed! lol-the Blockhead

Hmm... everything looks good but the lights are not being discriminated. Are you 100% certain you put one set of lights in one folder and the other set of lights in the other?? I would need to see your screenshot. WBPP is saying all of the lights ar…

Data transfer... it could, but unlikely. It is generally either going to work or fail with corruption. You don't get bad data values scattered around in this sense. -the Blockhead

Something is clearly different. I cannot say why though. It is clear the light frame and dark frame are not contemporaneous. You might complain, "but Adam" you might say "they are only 2-3 months different in time?" Yes, darks "age" in diverging fr…

That was a bad error. I confused in my head the idea of large swaths of red (meaning little change in degrees of red across large areas). So it used to be by acquiring color data you saved time by binning. You could acquire slightly fuzzier color …

Given that you are using a pedestal (good job!)- we can probably eliminate this as an issue.The DARKS have to be the issue. The darks are subtracted from the lights ..they are the only things that can make the dark spots. Your observation that the h…

Yes, this is certainly one way to approach these weighting schemes. PSF Scale SNR is agnostic to background brightness or star quality (unless the star fuzz exceeds the photometric aperture). I am probably more conservative than you in that I might …

Hi Gary, You did an excellent thing by including the screenshots of the file folders.But you do need to include all of the screens of WBPP. (Use the diagnostics tab to create them in one button push). This also helps to make certain the WBPP screen …

PSF Signal Weight is a tricky creature. Part of its quality metric is the brightness of the sky as well as the fuzziness of stars. It is hard to predict what a weight cutoff should be in general... but I would say that 0.3 (assuming all frames have …

Correct.There is no on-chip binning with CMOS sensors. So the time-savings benefit of acquiring L and RGB binned no longer applies. This obviates the need of L since the RGB will be acquired at the same binning. If you acquire L data that is brighte…

Yeah. Your script was there all along (and I do not think the subsequent update was necessary, but it didn't hurt anything). The add script just forced PixInsight to register the script as existing (since for whatever reason that did not happen when…
-
Competence aside, you did not indicate you also attempted to add scripts that may exist on your machine but not be registered by PI for some reason. Under the scripts menu, you will see "Feature Scripts" . CLick this and navigate to the scripts fold…

I favor S/N over resolution. BXT can make up for that loss. If you cannot see the object - what is the point of resolution? See? Faint signal requires more frames. Often the faint signal isn't highly resolved. So it depends. It depends on the object…
-
The common denominator is NB imagery.I really think it is the pedestal. It could also be due to old darks.You might consider a pedestal value like 500 or 1000 to test. -the Blockhead

You should be able to blend... but the faintest parts of the Luminance might not be colored well by the RGB since the 0 gain means these areas are likely near black. So the bright bits will be fine...it is the faint bits that are an issue. If the ob…
