  • Van, Yes, you should measure 0.3 - 0.5 for your flats to be properly exposed. It isn't critical though... if you have 0.2... it is OK! But 0.05 is not enough light.  There is a little math issue though. It gets a little complicated.Your image could …
  • Nice tip! Right now, with the latest big changes in PixInsight I have a mountain of things to do.I need to completely re-do FastTrack Training (obviously). There are a number of other things to change as well. But... one thing I am trying to do when…
  • So... typically when blending RGB with NB images... the point is to get the RGB stars with the narrowband nebulae. Usually the contrast is low in the RGB broadband- so it doesn't make that much sense to spend hours and hours on the RBG signal. Thus,…
  • Hi Paul, You are correct. I talked to Roberto about it- I think the issue is that with WBPP there is an order of operations issue which requires you to separate and integrate 3x the number of channel (3)- resulting in nine different files when done …
  • Hi , I am sorry, there is an issue- but I cannot figure it out. You will need to provide screenshots of the desktop as you perform these actions (or record yourself doing it).  To me, this sounds like you have your process icon (which you are trying…
  • Andre, Did you notice this is an LRGB image? (maybe you did not watch from the beginning?)At the moment, I am arguing that it is enough to enhance the Ha in the Red channel alone. I believe the Hii regions are already represented well with contrast …
  • No...if you look closely at the script (if we are talking about the "Blend" script by Hartmut Bornneman)- you can see the equation! It is precisely the same. The script offers some features of percentage blends, masks and things. -the Blockhead
  • Hi Michael, @johnmurphy is probably best to answer these kinds of questions. I was able to download the first image. The second image (link) is not public (accessible to all that have the link).  I would not expect any kind of change in color regard…
  • You are correct.This is actually a very important point. Just because I explain something- does not mean I whole-heartedly ENDORSE it. This appears to be a nuance that very few people appreciate. If you want to know what my opinion is on the usage o…
  • Hi George, Typically if you find a high end printing company- you can order inexpensive samples of a small piece of your work. You can either submit multiple versions- or look at a "native" version and compensate based on what you get back. I have f…
  • Here is what I think the confusion is. Those buttons are just shortcuts for checking/unchecking items. That is all they do. Do me a favor "uncheck" the LN section of the LIghts tab. Then click the "Maximum quality" button.. you will see it gets re-c…
  • Hi Aaron, I am not certain I understand. If you are using NSG- you would only be configuring WBPP to go through the registration of the data and stop there. So you would not be using a weighting scheme...and you would not be doing the LN part either…
  • Hi Richard, As you might imagine... there aren't any shortcuts. The process steps are not the same and it does often depend on the a number of different factors (and the data). Yeah, you need to watch all of the videos. As you watch them, you will s…
  • This is really great to hear.Please do post your results... would love to see them.-the Blockhead
  • That is OK. You will be helped by watching this video.-the Blockhead
  • Hi Andre, The M51 workflow example (Josep Drudis data) features defocused Red data. That was a challenge! I am not certain this is what you are looking for... but if you have some color data that isn't perfect with reasonable Luminance data, this mi…
  • I have *no power* regarding the developers!!I do know that they do not like clone stamp tools.Rogelio did make a script for pixinsight that does this. You might want to look into that. -the Blockhead
  • Unfortunately it means your download was not complete. I am surprised the file structure in the ZIP file remained intact though!Could you please try again and monitor the file size to be certain you got everything?-the Blockhead
  • I think you are right. I will specifically call out that the video is from the Horizons collection.-the Blockhead
  • That is WEIRD. It looks like the font/character set changed. I would recommend setting the preferences for this back to the defaults. My wife is Japanese...so on some computers we have multiple character sets for the keyboard loaded (this is a Windo…
