Vincent, I did publicly demonstrate on the AstroImaging Channel.However, I hope you agree I cannot simply add all content to Fundamentals- there is quite a bit there now. -the Blockhead

Wait... You did not convince me. Not the master.. but in calibrated frames. No zeros?-the Blockhead

There are several.. but the latest example is doing continuum subtraction and then adding the Ha to an RGB image. https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/blending-halpha-using-nb-colourmapper-after-continuum -The Blockhead

Yeah... flats should correct it out. Still... did you check for zeros in your calibrated data.. are you certain there isn't an over subtraction? Otherwise, you can diagnose with Night Sky Flats (something else easy to try). -the Blockhead

But you do have coordinates since you know what you are taking a picture of right? Please watch the Cassiopeia example int he WORKFLOW section:https://www.adamblockstudios.com/categories/Fundamental_Workflow I have not looked at it in a while.. but…

Let me add that I explain many aspects of this in different videos. 1. I explain how to calculate your plate scale. 2. I explain how ImageSolver works 3. In WBPP I explain these settings and behavior.4. I believe in the WORKFLOW example of DSLR imag…

Sorry Matt, I think are you missing my point. An image capture software will put information into the header that allows ImageSolver to do its job. 1. Coordinates2. Pixel Size3. Focal Length This is the most common way astronomical data is acquired…

Yes. It is truly part of today's workflow in terms of handling many aspects of stars versus non-stellar content in images.-the Blockhead

Yes there are (watching the more recent videos will help).I explain that for many comets that are not bright you will want to subtract WITHOUT using LinearFit.It is the LinearFit that is the issue. The Traditional Method is an old one I made before…

Matt, You should set PixInsight to load DSLR files (e.g. Canon CR3 files) as Pure RAW.Then you have the same situation as demonstrated in FastTrack Training. Please confirm you agree with the above sentence. As to the astrometric data, your statemen…

Hmmm.. I am not certain I understand the source of the problem but I do know the solution.WBPP is agnostic about temperature. It does not match temperatures of darks and lights on its own. You would have to use grouping keywords to distinguish them.…

I am sorry...I feel this is a memory issue on YOUR computer...not a software glitch.I would start by doing some memory checks... (what were the "weird messages".. you did not say). -the Blockhead

Hmm... I am not an expert in this area. I really can't say. Sorry.The stars with the red odd halo doesn't seem right to me though.-the Blockhead

Great!-the Blockhead

Hi Holger, If you want to apply BXT to the comet only image you can with a manual (fixed and assumed round) PSF. I do not demonstrate this since none of the comets I have worked with required it. The nucleus (star like) would get smaller...but no ot…

I think I talk about the 0.8 in a number of places- but particularly as it relates to LRGB imagery. This is because it is necessary to colorize L data with RGB information..and if the L is too bright it simply will not work. But more generally the b…

Right.There are some exceptions... creatively. But in general... no.-the Blockhead
-
Again.. please SCREENSHOTS! My blind guess.. you loaded the XNML files as images. You need to load them separately as local normalization files. You will probably tell me I am wrong... but without an image.. this is my best guess. Again... please tr…

That being said... let Murphy do his thing. He is probably a better teacher than me. If you have patience and see the patterns, Murphy will be one of your greatest keys to success.-the Blockhead
