Plate solving question
So, I took what I learned and reprocessed some of my own data. I added drizzle, cosmetic correction, curve transformation , I had only 2 hours of data, no flats, only lights and darks, I got an image, and it’s good. I can see I need to spend more time with the Histogram transformation because this image is not obviously better than my imaged before the fast track training,
BUT, I realized I used the wrong pixel size and wrong focal length for Image solving. I had saved the settings in my WBPP from Fasttrack and used that. I did check a fits header for this data and the pixel size is in the header but not the focal length. I did give WBPP a search and used M31 (my target). It did solve the position. It did not fail plate solving. I can use the script-render-annoteteimage and get labels and so on. How come it didn’t fail with the wrong focal length and wrong pixel size? Thanks
