Yes, do not worry about that output. That is not a problem. My suggestion to run the process was basically a sanity check. You can just uncheck the box to generate an output file. Again, when you are using ImageSolver- it uses this process.. you are…

Sorry, I might not understand the question.In image integration you would not be loading an image you are not combining (stacking). So you would not be including the LN reference as a reference frame for ImageIntegration. You just pick one of the su…
-
In Image Integration the reference is used as a basis for normalization and weighting. This is particularly useful for relative weighting schemes (its weight will be "1"). The choice of reference is only to help understand the output. Mathematically…

Circles are pretty easy: Simple Circle RGB/K: r = sqrt((x()-cx)^2 + (y()-cy)^2); iif(abs(tr-r)

I would not yet assume this IS the problem. When you have less stars... other errors become important. You need to post some images. You did not stretch the image or do any kind of adjustment before SPCC correct?Is the focus good? -the Blockhead
-
This means: 1. You literally have a few stars in your image.2. SPCC is not detecting the stars in your image. We have to do a little more investigating to understand. I have a number of videos that explain how #2 happens (and how to diagnose things…

Ron, Add this link to your repository. Do not click on it.Then update ..it will download it .It works just fine.Nice job Mike.-the Blockhead

Not in a way that is designed for this purpose. You can make lines (segments) and things using PixelMath easily... but you have to put in numbers to place the lines correctly. If you have a graphic of an arrow, you can use substitute (script) to pu…

The measurements do the PSF fitting /photometry and ultimately become the weighting scheme for the data. See videos 64-66 in the Fundamentals Path:https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/the-pixinsight-path (specifically 65 I guess... but you shou…

Other than some features of processes that are not included in the WBPP pipeline- there is no real advantage for this kind of processing. In fact if you watch videos under #33 on the PixInsight Fundamental Path (https://www.adamblockstudios.com/arti…

Hi Reggie, This means your GAIA catalogs are not setup.The fact that you mentioned EDR3 is a red flag. This is no longer (a useful) part of the GAIA catalogs that interests us. DR3 and DR3/SP are the only ones of interest. The error is saying you ha…

The readnoise and gain should really not change significantly for your camera . So if you can find any set of flats and biases/darks.. that would do the trick. You could take some today and apply the calculated answer to the old data.You do really n…

Yeah, you are right.. you don't want to touch that. -the Blockhead
-
Could it be the RGB data is BINNED 2x2.. so the plate scale is different. Instead of 9 micron pixels...the pixels are 18 micron. Let me know if this points you in the right direction. If you would like, attach the log file that is generated. This …
-
Hmmm.. that is quite a bit.So... before we do THAT... can you please send me a screenshot(s) of what you think is the problem? Regarding incorporating Ha into M51... you know I have a video that covers this right? (Literally... adding Ha into M51 wi…
-
If you used those biases to calibrate the flats it would be a problem.The value of your bias is larger than your much longer darks... how is this possible?This was the point of my video on this matter.0.0007 is 45 ADU for a 16bit camera. That is qui…

Go ahead and make the registered frames available and I will check them out.Upload to a cloud server and make the permission available to anyone with the link.Thanks,-the BLockhead

Matthew, I discovered the issue. I got the same answer you did. However, somewhere along the way I suspect you made an error. I had to assume the very thing that *could not be wrong* was wrong. The astrometric solution that is in your file is not c…
-
You should definitely not adjust the flat as I show as a course of action. My demonstration simply shows the problem is that flats are not being calibrated correctly due to the fact some constant value is either not being subtracted or being over-su…
