  • Hi Zak, You have not stretched the image enough to show me the values of your keyword. Please generate the screenshots using the diagnostic button (goes to your log folder) and publish all of those here. Your keyword is IC434 ... but this is in the …
  • Integrate them all. Again, the average is what matters.If you have a minority of frames that are elongated, then the combination of rejection, weighting, and the average will all give you a fine result. Again, you can test these scenarios by integra…
  • I am of the mind to process everything with respect to FWHM. Usually it is the signal-to-noise and not the resolution that is important. It doesn't matter how good the resolution is if you cannot see (or process) the object.  In addition, there is m…
  • lolThanks!-the Blockhead
  • I feared I would cause some confusion. That is why I said contact me directly if you want to support me. Patreon membership does not get you any additional content if you are a member of Horizons. I am basically opening a small amount of content up …
  • No ... no no... lolWhen you open WBBP.... there is a button on the right side for clearing the cache. That is how. I can't send a screenshot at the moment... but please open WBPP and look for the button on the right side. -the Blockhead
  • Richard, I am confused..and this might be related. When you deleted the output folder it is mandatory to clear the cache. The cache data no longer exists because you deleted the files! In your steps above you state you reset the WBPP process... but …
  • You might want to consider if increasing the drizzle scale is necessary or desired (or helpful). -the Blockhead
  • Hi Haider, Sorry...increase the tolerance of what?Exposure tolerance isn't connected to drizzling. This just adjusts the stacking of frames of dissimilar exposure times. -the Blockhead
  • I hope you saw I did publish my workflow on this topic Shawn. -the Blockhead
  • Well.. currently that content is part of Horizons. I do have useful information there. It isn't as formal as the content in Fundamentals though. This is an on-going project for me.  See:https://www.adamblockstudios.com/categories/narrow-band -the B…
  • I think I have another idea... 
  • Yes, I have been thinking about this... the issue is when you subtract .. you really don't want all of the nebulosity to subtract from the star-aligned frames. That is what is making life difficult I think. I tried to take some data of this comet my…
  • How many frames are in your comet only image? I suspect the comet isn't moving very much... this is probably the issue. However, mathematically... it really *has* be to dimmer if there is any smear.  You can create screenshots of the readout preview…
  • It depends on the data.Here is the "Adam Block" answer... do both. See for yourself!For one "typical" dataset, run the images through WBPP completely with all of the best settings.Then create a stacked image with FastIntegration and compare. The dif…

  • No. There isn't a method to get rid of nebulosity in the comet only image.But there is a fundamental idea. Everywhere that there is nebulosity in your comet only image- there is nebulosity in your comet subtracted image. Right? In the comet-only ima…
  • Yeah, I guess the issue at the moment is that FITs files are fundamentally an acquisition based metadata recording. XISF files are tied to metadata that is with respect to processing. There is certainly overlap- but at this time the metadata couplin…
  • Well.. it would like be a FITs editor...it would be something else.I thought he did address this request somewhere.However, for me, editing of this sort is kinda of a emergency situation in the *beginning* when files are in FITs format.  You are lik…
  • Yes, the GAME script uses that expression I came up with.  But here is the important part. I think you were watching the video on this page:https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/PixelMath_03 Please be certain to read any text I write above the …
