Hi Cindy, Sorry. I do not think we should stop here. There is likely a misunderstanding of something- but I cannot put my finger on it. You need to upload some screenshots of what you think is the problem. You indicate a before and after effect that…

Perhaps a little thinking about concerning what subtraction is doing...Let me give you an example...(I cannot see your image... so this is just a thought experiment). Lets say your flat has some strong vignetting towards the corners. Those values wh…

Also you need to show a screenshot of your settings you used in ImageSolver.(you can e-mail me this JPEG)-the Blockhead

I forget... did you make this image available to download? -the Blockhead

Good question... I don't know (I don't think so).As you likely saw..there isn't an option for this in GLobal Preferences.That being said, once you do this to an image once...it will be honored when you save your project. I doubt this is the behavio…

I did make a comment about hydrogen beta in my tutorials. I indicated that it maps with hydrogen alpha so closely that it doesn’t seem like it’s a very helpful band to work with. With respect to the oxygen absolutely DBextract extract has the optio…

It depends on whether you are processing narrowband or broadband images. For broadband you usually apply BXT after channel combination. For NB it depends on the data and some choices you make. I elaborated on this in NB Fastrack.

You did find a key insight by noting the different hot pixel population. At the moment I can’t help. I’m unavailable for the next 4 to 5 days. If you can wait that out I’ll be happy to look at the files. What you really need to do is make three raw …

Exactly… this is part of the new platform -the Blockhead

The funny thing is that in this FastTrack series...I am still quite restrained and not explaining too much "why" ... lol Please put your image on a cloud server somewhere for me to see and share the link here (make certain the link is accessible to…

I guess you really only need to platesolve your masterlight frames. They will have the best data to work with...we hope. -the Blockhead

There is perhaps a better solution. If you have BlurXTerminator- this will both sharpen and regularize the stars in such a way that ImageSolver will not have an issue. This has the additional benefit of keeping the image linear. -the Blockhead
-
It is because the stars are too big. By stretching the image..you made some of the fainter stars have a PSF that is somewhat reasonable. The problem boils down to the poor image quality. It needs to detect stars in order to plate solve...or things d…

OK!!I believe I have fixed things...please look again. https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/fasttrack-training-bxt-oscandhttps://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/fasttrack-training-sxt-osc I have inserted them in the steps where they should ha…

YEs..that is another video somewhere... I am not at a place I can solve this at the moment...trying though.-the BLockhead
-
OK.. is the problem that YOU cannot plate solve the image or that you believe others cannot? PixINsight solves the image. You have 15um pixels (because you are binning by 4). However because the image quality is TERRIBLE... the seeing has made the s…

HI Craig, It is hard to believe I can do better...but let's begin. What telescope did you use and what parameters did you put in your IMageSolver? -the BLockhead
-
I think you are right..something has disappeared.You didn't see a section where I removed the stars?THat is the section that would show this stuff! I can't fix this immediately... but something is amiss.Thanks for pointing this out.-the Blockhead
-
No.You might want to think about this for a moment... The answer is in the content you learned... (at least by extension). If it isn't a "feature"... take another guess. What part of the workflow in FastTrack would cause an image to be one orientati…

When I look at this image- I think that some of your choices may have "baked in" the ultimate result you were moving towards. Could you give me a run down of what you did do? Then I think I would be in a better place to make a recommendation. If I p…
