Someone just asked this...Turn off high range rejection in ImageIntegration. There are a number of threads on this (official forum)...and this is the answer in general. -the Blockhead
-
Try turning off the high range rejection in ImageIntegration. This will likely solve the issue. You can test by reintegrating your data (you do not need to run the whole WBPP thing again). You need to use ImageINtegration without high range rejecti…

Not for 16-bit sensors.(in addition, there are also OSC vs mono considerations. Mono tends to allow for better color "distinctness" in my opinion.) -the Blockhead

I think the point is that yes, you probably could get away from thin overlaps in terms of the alignment of panels aspect.... but this isn't the main point! The idea is to make the joins/seams as invisible as possible. The larger the overlap the bett…

If it were me, I would find the transmission profiles for the light pollution filters and multiply them by the Sony filter. Then I would save this as the new filter profiles you should use. You would need to create a Red filter, Green Filter and Blu…

Jesus, There is something I noticed in the log.You need to check the reference frame... But again... make the files available! -the BlockheadLight_BINLight_BIN-1_5496x3672_EXPOSURE-180.00s_FILTER-NoFilter_CFA/Light_IC1848_180.0s_Bin1_gain140_2022010…

Ok Jesus, in the case of the previous person..the issue was the star quality.The log will likely not be diagnostic in the way that simply looking at the images would. Please see the previous thread and check out that gentleman's images. (it is the …

Hi John, OK...I can see part of the problem. I looked at your images. Unfortunately in the world of astronomical image processing there is a sense of data quality. There is a real concrete (mathematical) description of stars in PixInsight that means…

John, I was about to download.. but first a question.Why are you using LPS?Do you really have an issue that requires this?? -the Blockhead

Thanks Dan!It takes time... usually because I am a Blockhead and mess things up or find better ways... and have to re-record... -the Blockhead

HI John, Don't forget my comment above.. you need to set permission to the folder (or files) to be "Anyone that has the link." Currently that is not true. -the Blockhead

You did see the previous thread in this forum? :) Let me see if his question answers yours...I bet it does. -the Blockhead

The blending of RGB background is a trick I use if the background of the NB is too "weird" (dominated by noise of one color... artifacts of star removal... etc). It is something that is a tiny subtle thing to do...but it can help in sticky situation…
-
Maybe. Your comment that this "captures plenty of stars and their color" is not an objective one. There are cases where the background removal is aided by the better S/N of stars. In addition, sometimes stars are embedded in nebulosity and the extra…

Hi John, Each service (Google Drive, OneDrive...DropBox) has its own ways. They are similar. I have not had great experiences with DropBox either..but this is definitely one way to go if you do not have Gmail (and therefore Google Drive). There isn'…

The flats alone will not be diagnostic. You will need to capture light frames without the reducer and flats without the reducer...and see if things flat out as expected. If they do... you know the reducer is the issue. Why is it the issue?... typica…
-
It does not sound to me like you are investigating the source of the issue. In what way are the images not registered? Is it not detecting stars? How do the images and values compare?Is there a calibration issue (zeros/oversubtraction)?What about th…
-
Its the reducer.You might try without the reducer and leave everything else the same. I suspect the flats will work. This is the experiment to perform. -the Blockhead
