Sorry... this should be fixed now.-the Blockhead

You may have seen it...but I did release a video that highlights your data.I hope you get a chance to review it... and I hope struck the right balance with my "tone" in the presentation of the problem and the solution. Thanks again very much for let…

Yes... This section is a specific topic on weighting- because of the inherent problems with SFS especially with SNRWeight.-the Blockhead

I believe I understand the issue. First of all there are *no default* settings. (Never!)You need to understand the settings for most processes in Pixinsight. (I even have a PixTV episode titled "Defaults are an Illusion") In this case NSG will prop…

By the way, if you look at the rejection maps shown in this picture... GESD does a fantastic job of rejecting the satellite trails. The integrated result is even *better* than I showed...there is no trace of the trails.(GESD is the rightmost rejecti…

I am sorry, I do not get the same result you do with these files. See the image below. Create screenshots of your settings in ImageIntegration. Many of the satellite trails are quite faint. So even simple averaging should make them almost disappear.…

Hi Alan, Well... we are working with the same data! I am not certain I can make a suggestion other than you seem to have identified areas that didn't work out- and it is my hope you might find ways to get there even if the path I created somehow gre…

I assume you combined many frames (you didn't say)- at least more than 20. So... this has all of the hallmarks of rejection thresholds not being correct. You can certainly use selective rejection to absolutely correct for this...but without seeing y…

Sorry Paul...I wonder if we are on the same page. You do not have to pick a location if Auto is checked.See the image below. Although the data location server can be changed... it isn't in effect with local catalogues and Auto. -the Blockhead

I believe that to-date all content I post on YouTube is also on the site (in some form). The YouTube videos tend to be shorter versions with less details. (NSG is an example.) As far as the organization of things on YouTube...yeah, I am doing well t…

I think what you are fighting against is that when you use any of the tools you have described (ArcSinStretch, HDRMT, MaskedStretch...etc etc) that ALL make faint and bright things more equal to one another. This is a decrease in contrast. This isn'…

Yeah, deconvolution requires some really good data. As it happens I will be releasing the latest deconvolution information later today with respect to my update of NGC 3486 in the Fundamentals Workflow section. You can't fix this from the decon set…

Yes indeed- Lanczos is the default because it minimizes artifacts and blurring for well sampled (and oversampled) images. BUT...for undersampled images it does produce exactly the artifacts you show. I see this in my own data in images from the astr…

Hi Paul, Sorry, I do not understand your question.If you have the local catalogues (like I show in FastTrack Training)- you do not need to be on-line- everything is on your computer! You only need to be on-line if you are NOT using your local star c…
-
If you keep it on "Auto" ...you do not need to select anything- it defaults to the local catalogues first.(You can see in the console which catalogue it chose (or you have forced it to use)). -the Blockhead

I had Web Support look into this. It should be working now. -the Blockhead

Wow.... crazy.

Yep. Those are the ones.Amazing eh?There is speaker at next year's AIC conference who is also using a moniker I created and have used for a decade. I do think I have a small amount of influence...even if it is subconscious. lol -the Blockhead
-
If you choose to install those on your machine... we will both have the same situation, I would be happy to investigate further. (You should also try to ignore existing metadata, it is an option you can check... if you have disparate info in the he…

Remove the preview from the image.Do you have the GAIA catalogs installed physically on your machine? -the Blockhead
