Fast Track Training File Downloads - Not complete set

Scot Stringer
in PixInsight
I started the Fast Track Training. My Flaming Star download 2022-02-19 only has 24 files. I tried it twice. My Flaming Star 2022-02-20 has 58. My 2022-02-25 has 50 in both parts 1 & 2. Video says I should have over 200 in that 02-19 one. What should I do?

I tried searching the forumns.

Thanks

    Hi Scot,

    I agree with your first two downloads. the 19th = 24 files. The 20th does have 58. However the 25th totals 100 files (divided between two downloads of of 50 files each). This totals 183... less than 200. There is an issue for Mac users I need to keep files under 2GB... so I think I had to play it a safe.

    So I think everything is OK. If I said there should be over 200 in a single night/folder..that is a mistake. 

    You can also download the full set if you really want to. It isn't important exactly how many of these files you get. Beyond a certain point... we will get approximately the same answers.

    Ahhh, thanks! I misunderstood.

    I don't know if this is the way to do this. (Related questions about the class.)

    I found something while blinking through the Flaming Star 2022-02-25 data. Frames 00009-00100. There is an object moving slowly through the frames. Is this an asteroid? What is it? Around the +4237.00 * +1191.00 area. 

    Also a question: Is there a way to blink through multi-sessions by date instead of by picture numbers? Seems it would be more consistent that way when previewing them.

    Thanks

    Would you be impressed if I told you in FastTrack I answer your question with a video on the subject??
    If you scroll down the page..you will see "Asteroid Bonus."

    Good job for finding it.

    By the way, once you plate solve your image... you should be able to give me COORDINATES in RA and Dec and not pixel positions.... this is what I am trying to instruct you on!

    I'm wondering if there's a video missing between Step 15 & 16 in Fast Track Training? We go from SPCC and skip the 3 Exterminators to a Nebula only picture.

    Thanks

    I think you are right..something has disappeared.
    You didn't see a section where I removed the stars?
    THat is the section that would show this stuff!

    I can't fix this immediately... but something is amiss.
    Thanks for pointing this out.

    haha, I just got to the same point and had to go back because I thought I missed a video.  I was just looking to make a post when I saw this one.  Based on your screen Icons saves, you missed going over BlurXTerminator, NoiseXterminator and StarXterminator usage.

    YEs..that is another video somewhere... 
    I am not at a place I can solve this at the moment...trying though.

    OK!!
    I believe I have fixed things...please look again.

    and

    I have inserted them in the steps where they should have been!
    Thank you again for pointing out my missing video issue!

    You're welcome! Thanks for the series. If the steps could change color after you mark them watched, it would be easier to keep track of where I left off if it's been a few days. Keep up the great work!

    Exactly… this is part of the new platform
