They are indeed additional scripts you can download from 3rd party repositories.You just need to add the repository URL to your RESOURCES -> UPDATES-> Manage Repositories. The GAME script (and quite a few others) are available from this reposi…

Not that I am aware of... it is beyond me if it exists.I did have this conversation with Mike Cranfield about this a while ago. I should probably revisit.-the Blockhead

Yeah the PCC isn't material... the issue remains concerning ImageSolver..and the solution is the same.-the Blockhead

Sorry, concerning the links..it is the FIRST link that is exactly your situation. Did you watch it?? The coordinates just need to be in the field of view and the focal length needs to be within a factor of two. (However, I would say you really want …

I understand...BUT...I would like to say that the "superpixel" error really gave it away.This is because I know exactly what superpixel means/does in PI. I explain this concept in my WBPP material. For 99% of people this information would not be imp…

Victor, You did not show screenshots of your WBPP configuration. Why is there mention of superpixel?That is one hell of a red flag. Superpixel will create three images (R, G, B) that are half-sized.Can you see how that would be an issue with plateso…

I do not believe this is a collimation issue. I suspect there is diffraction caused by the "clips" or whatever the flat bits are in the out-of-focus image you show in your CollimationCircles. I am saying this is something to do with the tube/structu…

OK. Lets take this from the top. I will claim WBPP plate solving succeeded! I literally have a recording of proof!So... now, we need to see what is different between our configurations or steps. Can you indicate your steps? The files you used? Any a…

Hi James, A couple of things.Regarding the PixelMath expression- a screenshot would be helpful. (Did you actually put the symbols in the symbols panel? You did not mention this.) When I published these and other expressions... no scripts really did …

Good for you to zoom in. I highlight this as one of the many ways to diagnose images. Too many people see an error...see the zoomed out image that at first glance looks "OK"...but go no further. I hope this is a good learning situation! -the Blockhe…

Yes, it is smart to combine all of the different exposure times together with one stack. You do need to adjust the exposure tolerance to allow for this (instead of getting multiple masterlights at each exposure time).The images are weighted accordin…

The registration on the stars happens automatically with WBPP...so it is the staraligned results. I am not certain... once you have registered images I do not think so. Of course Alt-Az telescopes suffer from other issues such as rotation of diffrac…
-
I am not certain of your conclusion. The way to think of it is that the combination of your filter and light source (your effective sensitivity) is weak in red. So your exposure time at a given light level is given by monitoring the blue pixel value…
-
It isn't just the color of the flat... indeed your flat appears to be in part saturated. You need to find a light intensity that will allow you to take 1-2 second exposures with only 1/2 saturation. You will probably want to stack quite a few since …
-
It is a value just for visualization of the real time image preview.The actual values are unaffected by this. You need some method of displaying linear images in the tool... and not loading up a black image. I guess I fear from your comment you fee…
-
Dieter, My overall opinion is that is a data/sensor "issue". I put issue in quotes because it is such a low level effect that I wonder if it is just the nature of things. You simply do not have enough useful signal in the image. That being said, I l…

Hi Joel, Please watch "How to process the Orion Nebula" . Did you see this example in the workflow area?? (https://www.adamblockstudios.com/categories/Fundamental_Workflow) Just scroll down a little bit. Alternate methods are demonstrated in the GH…
-
HI James, What about the answers to 1 and 2?How about a screen shot of your image... the entire image and zoomed in?Yeah, trying to avoid downloading everyone's image to find the error (heavy lifting by the user is needed!).But... without more infor…
-
This is not the correct STF for the stars only image. Please review my recent video on exactly this subject.(Also, if you use large overlap the checkerboard will likely not be an issue...but it is irrelevant... you would never stretch your stars-onl…

Well. you only have one set of values. You can use the NB ColorMapper script to choose any color you like (red, magenta, chartreuse... whatever). However, you need at least two sets of values to have variations that I think you are looking for... ot…
