Right.(If you look at my text at the top of that video on that page- you will see a note concerning this.)The information is now accessible in the view explorer. I will eventually re-do Fastrack again to bring it completely up-to-date. I feel this s…

Whoah... I am not familiar with that camera so I do not know what is normal.You may want to blink your dark frames and see if the pattern is fixed or not. If not, I would be likely to guess it is an electronic issue either with the camera or more li…

P.S. If people really want me to be expert in *everything*... I think some extra support for getting a telescope would help! lol :) :)

I think the issue here is experience. I am no different than anyone else...in that I need practice too! Even if I had the data in hand..I would need to do this kind of processing multiple times to refine best practices even though I think I know in …

WBPP honors binning and will not combine into single masterlight.I have not tried this, but if you WBPP with a pause, maybe it works?(I have not tried). You would run WBPP to calibrate all data of both binnings. Then you would start WBPP from the re…

No. This is something I will do in the future. -the Blockhead

There is a lesson. It is in my head. (otherwise...no, not yet. This is what Horizons is for...)I hope to demonstrate when I have my own telescope in play.I don't like the way people do this- I think many have lost their way.However, I do not have th…

Did you use large overlap with SXT? (it is SXT that is causing the issue) -the Blockhead

It is possible to have WBPP save a file name (including the path) that is VERY long. Windows has a default maximum limit. You can change this in Windows. Then the warning will go away. You can ignore the warning... but if you even reach the limit WB…

There isn't particular time and there isn't a penalty for going "too long"...though there is a point at which there are not much gains in taking more exposures. I do not know exactly there this is... but I I know that at least 20 hours per filter i…

Hi Zak, There are some confusing sentences in the above. To answer your question directly- yes, you can use LN on data that is calibrated without flats. If you image have vignetting, for example, then LN will faithfully match the LN reference vignet…

Hi James, In case others read this message, can you say what the problem was and the solution you found in one of my videos (perhaps with a link to the video?)? -the Blockhead

It is in chronological order. Please look again at your screen shot. Look at the observation time. We have to agree on this in order to continue. -the Blockhead

Correct... it saves the histories of the used processes but NOT the process instances. Only within a project can you access the instances (the full parameter set up of a process). When you save a file all of that information is not encoded- just the…

Good catch... continue to watch and you will see that was just a mistake I made in the loading of the files in WBPP. I just didn't re-record the entire video...I figured people would get that I made an error (and subsequently would see I did figure…
-
The show first image is just that... the first chronological image in the list. The reason for this logic is that CometAlignment can be used to assume linear motion...so in general you can just click the first and last images. Doing this only measur…

Sorry...there is a disconnect for me. I do not know what the "Load First image" is.Can you please create some screenshots. -the Blockhead

There are a couple...but the most recent is with respect to the ColourMapper script.See: https://www.adamblockstudios.com/categories/narrow-band Specifically:https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/continuum-subtraction-using-nb-colourmapper-scrip…

Let me add..it does not appear you are dithering your frames based on the pattern.In addition, masterlight frame was shifted considerably compared to the input frame I looked at. This means the reference frame that was chosen is likely not a good on…

Hi Ray, I looked at your data and there is something fundamentally wrong. Those flats do not match the lights in any way. The flats themselves are definitely an issue. Your Ha data looks fine. It certainly looks like real out-of-focus obstructions …
