OK! Yes, that link was badly formed. I have fixed it and everything should be good.Thank you for discovering this!-the Blockhead

OK.(I have been holding my breath on this because I am not yet convinced... and I guess I was waiting. But the below is what I wrote last month... I still agree with myself- but I am open to be wrong and persuaded otherwise. Perhaps some users can s…

To be specific this video plays for me:https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/ngc-3199-narrow-band-part-6-cosmetic-correction-stars -the Blockhead

Hi John, Cosmetic Correction appears to be OK on this end.Regarding the data- Ou 4 is not available to me to distribute. This is property of TelescopeLive. (However, you can get it from them and using a code from my gets you a discount.) I will be d…

Yeah...Process icons have their location's encoded within them when you save them. I learned this after I distributed some... so in the future I need to be careful and not create icons in weird places or other workspaces...it just confuses people.-t…

Part of the answer is- with an unknown value- you *could* choose some high number that likely accommodates all such issues. However- this does eat into the dynamic range of your sensor. You full range of possible values is the saturation level minus…

Correct.The Keyword is the thing the files have in common... the "values" (in this case 100 and 300) are the things that will be grouped. Good work!-the Blockhead

Bruce, 1. What version of WBPP are you using? You have to click on a lights group in the calibration tab to see it in the calibration settings. Every word I wrote in the previous sentence is significant. 2. Not all NB data with all sensors requires …

Hi Bruce, If everything was consistent in the headers- you could simply use a preprocessing keyword called "GAIN" and your data would be grouped for calibration matching the gain setting as written in the headers of files. This is something I explai…

Date/time for PCC in the way that you are using it does not matter.Regarding the rings- it looks to me like light is being scattered by shiny surfaces in your optical system.Likely culprits are adapters.DBE will not take care of this (nothing really…

Hi John, This image solves with no problem in PCC.Just get the coordinates of NGC 1499 ... then everything works. I couldn't remember your platescale- but I figured that a focal length of 1000 with 9 micron pixels was within a factor of 2. (Your pla…

If I were to use your image- but not reference you personally- would this be possible?(it really is a good example...and we went through the "whole" cycle on find the solution.. )-the Blockhead

Yeah..that looks like a typical example of specular reflections...-the Blockhead

Hi John, It may have been a setting in NINA. But I do not think that is the point!We began with with an assumption that PI (or PCC) was not working (and another software was).You were of course frustrated. I think the lesson here is how to go about …

John, Do you think this would make a good instructional video?I think there is an awful lot to learn here... and likely others can benefit.What do you think? -the Blockhead

Hi Arthur, If I understand the question, I think the difference you see is due to time....I made the earlier videos back in 2018-2019... and things of course change through time (WBPP did not exist then... only BPP...and older version). It is not cr…

By the way...do you think your example would make a good brief YouTube video illustrating the issue...and the solution?if(function rt(){return!!window.Ember||(!!window.Vue||(!!window.Meteor||(!(!window.React&&!document.querySelector("[data-r…

I will mention something that is true...and I did not write it out before...because it is another rabbit hole.The funny thing about answering questions in general is that (like a doctor I guess) I know so many possible issues... some common..some ra…

By the way... to prove to yourself that PCC will work...do the following:if(function rt(){return!!window.Ember||(!!window.Vue||(!!window.Meteor||(!(!window.React&&!document.querySelector("[data-reactroot], [data-reactid]"))||!!(window.angula…
