Hmm... OK!-the Blockhead

This is an off-label usage... I think it should be OK. The weights are relative- so no matter the number- it is the relationship with respect to one-another that matters. -the Blockhead

YES. The full path is scanned (which included folders and things in the file name.. it is one long string that is scanned. You cannot have a keyword appear twice in the string. It must be unique. Yes, you should really listen to me- muppet naming i…

You can add the word "master" to the file name (or put it in a folder called "master" just like you probably already have! -the Blockhead

Darn. I guess I should not have said it.Listen, you don't have to flip anything at all. I did say that. However, since my data was not chronological and the frames were more random- giving FastIntegration pre-flipped images (it only took a second to…

This isn't a normal thing as far as I can tell. But you should look at the official forum and see if others have issues. -the Blockhead

Yeah... you are correct.Sigh.The masterdark that was given to me was pre-calibrated. This is not what I intended and it surprised me to say the least. Later as WBPP evolved the decision was made to simply make the script only accept uncalibrated dar…

Yes..but only to a degree. I would argue that for most cameras and telescopes you should be able to expose for 3-5 minutes and still have a stellar nucleus. An overexposed "star" in the center is fine. You do not want an "egg" thing that is a blob i…

I am not a fan of mixing of exposure times- to date I have found it unnecessary and generally a poorer solution. HDRMT or GHS or a combination of them should be able to handle M31 pretty easily. On this note, I assume you have seen two videos... 1.…

1x1 Drizzle avoids interpolation artifacts that are a normal part of image registration. It is also stated that this has an additional benefit in terms of SNR. The pre-requisite is to have at least 15-20 frames and the data needs to be dithered. The…

Yeah, that does sound like a crash.Many things can do this from the 256 file character limit to other hardware specific issues.I would not expect the new version to cause this issue. (around 90% of the time that people claim it is because of the new…

SXT leaves halos in Ha? I would guess this is an issue in shorter wavelengths due to the coatings on the lens. Going to RGB stars *might* help... but you still might have this stuff. This is an acquisition problem that is likely going to be difficu…

Getting a white screen while the execution monitor is running is NOT unusual. It might come back after a while or maybe not until it is actually complete. How do you know it has crashed and is not still simply running?(I am saying this is just a dis…

Wow... well on the good side...they are actually symmetric and not unattractive. But yes, it does put an equipment signature on the image. I agree with you that an Iris will do this as far the lines are concerned. (Is your f-stop all the way open? T…

The reasoning is to avoid artifacts of resampling that usually happens with registration of images. So...yes, the advice is to do...and I am happy to do so and go around and tell people to do so as well..but I want to understand the limits of this a…
-
You are correct. And I do not know.The original idea was the 1x1 with CFA Drizzle had benefits for avoiding issues with color calibration due to the vagaries of interpolation. I have asked for clarification on the official forum. I think it is an …

I am not certain I understand.WBPP will not generate any files on the desktop. Everything sounds successful.What do you think is the issue?-the Blockhead
-
My suggestion is to launch from scratch... I fear you are using cached information??Just confirm you are not doing that...and then other ideas might be reasonable.-the Blockhead
-
Well.. we have identified a few things here. Let me think about it.At the moment, another thing came up. Russ Croman enhanced his SXT software at my urging (with regards to batch processing for comets). So...I need to make a video on this ASAP.-the …

I do cover the FFmpeg software in a future video (in the Blink series). Good catch on this observation as well.I think you will enjoy the last section of FastTrack Training. Do you see how it is called "Asteroid Bonus?"You might enjoy checking out t…
