Removing "filter" from integration grouping

Ronald Clanton

Adam,

I would like to use WBPP to integrate OSC lights taken with different filters (LUltimate & LPro).  The light files have the filter name in both the FITS header and the file name.  Is there a way to force WBPP to not consider the filter name in grouping the light frames?  I have tried checking the "Smart Naming Overide" option, but WBPP still is grouping by filter.

Any ideas?  Or do I need to perform the integration outside of WBPP?  Or modify the FITS Headers?

Thanks,

Ron

Modifying the headers will definitely work. I have a video that shows you how:

However, I *think* you can also load the files using the Custom button and adjust the Filter name.

The trick in both cases is to take the fraction of the data that has the filter name "LUtlimate" and rename it "LPro" (or the other way around)....so that all files have the same filter name.

In both cases the fix is done in under a minute.

Brilliant!  The custom loading button did the trick.  Took all of 10 seconds.

Thanks!
