You cannot integrate the RGB stars with stars right? The comet will be rejected.If you integrate the comet aligned frames..the stars are streaks and SXT will not remove. I am currently making my BEST method right now. It still does rely on SXT becau…

Yeah, I don't think in general Luminance is going to be very helpful. It could if the comet is moving slowly and not changing much. I actually do not have a clear filter with the setup I use- so I have no choice- but in general I think the complexit…

What tool do you use??If I can use it and embed the captions..that would be awesome.-the Blockhead

I am also attempting to make a video that uses it exclusively...Coming soon. -the Blockhead

I have incorporated it into the latest video I have created.It isn't a stand alone on CA... but I use it which is good for the moment since it has only be avaialble for hours?Look for the video later tonight... (in Horizons)-the Blockhead

Yeah.. you are probably right.I try to correct things and keep things up to date to the best of my abilities.-the Blockhead
-
Concerning the finishing.... yes.I am using the GPU acceleration for the processing. That error seems to indicate there is an oversubtraction. It could also be because the debayering was not correct (or done). Concerning the comet images- it will …

No. NSG (and Local Normalization) are normalization methods that *MATCH* image backgrounds (gradients) and signal strengths in order to make them compatible for rejection of outlying values. A consequence of this is that the reference frame you pick…

Hi Marsha, I am glad you liked the video.Concerning SPCC... BXT will affect the color calibration of an image at some level. Any deconvolution process would (this is not specific to BXT). So it is best to do SPCC -> BXT. BXT did have an issue wit…

Although... re-reading your message.You are creating a new starless image for Bill's method right?You would need to recombine your enhanced starless image... to make a full image. Then you would create another starless... I *think* this might be nec…
-
Yeah...I think so. When you use SXT, some fraction of the star profile will exist in both the stars image and the starless one as well. This probably wouldn't be as much of an issue for fainter stars.. but I can see how bright ones would pose this p…

Hi Bruce, That looks like great data. Good stuff for enhancing M108 actually.. but NOT good for making M108 look like a galaxy. With the Ha filter- you simply are not seeing the rest of the galaxy- you are just seeing parts of light up i that partic…

The method I show is to do sidereal tracking (track the stars normally). If you track the comet... the stars in your images will be streaked. Thus a star removal process like SXT will not work as well. -the Blockhead

Hi Mike, This is not correct for the current version of PixInsight. You say you are up-to-date... BUT, I do not believe you are. First, please check your repositories (Resources->Updates->Manage Repositories). All of the official PixInsight UR…

This example was broadband images (not NB). So the answer to your question is YES. This works with OSC data as well. Thank you for the feedback.-the Blockhead
-
That is a good point..but the sky could simply be darker in the RED data... and reveal the problem better.I am not certain.-the Blockhead
-
I do not think so.Normally this effect is seen when using NB images and a pedestal is not used resulting in over subtraction. However, you are not using NB filters... so I conclude you have regular over subtraction- which means one or more of your d…

Hi, Have you reviewed my video here?https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/what-do-spcc-bxt-sxt-nxt-and-hdrmt -the Blockhead

How about:https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/what-do-spcc-bxt-sxt-nxt-and-hdrmt "What to do with SPCC,BXT,SXT,NXT and more..." Do you think this is on target for your question? -the Blockhead
