Drizzle Intergration

Stephen Campton-Jones

Hi Adam,

I am very new to Pixinsight.  I have got up to Drizzle Integration in your Fundamentals course and I get this message when I start drizzle integration:

I thought I have stuffed up (well I have).  I have got this far 4 times already and mmmmm.  Where have i stuffed up?

Did you run ImageIntegration first to update these files (and you included both the drizzle and local normalization files?

I think I have found the issue, maybe.  Step 9 Combine the images (Image Integration) video.

Under Image Integration tab in the Image Integration process you haven't ticked "Generate Drizzle data".  In the following video  Step 10 CFA Drizzle Integration you have ticked that box.

Yes!

That will *update* the drizzle files. I think I mentioned (as I do everytime) that this is a poorly named box. It should read "Update Drizzle data" .

Can you verify I do state this in the video? 

I know I did in all previous version of FastTrack...but each time I make a new version... things change a bit.

Problem solved.  I checked "Generate Drizzle Data" and also I added L.Norm and Drizzle files in Image integration.  I don't think you mention to add these files in step 9

BlockHead

Oh my!

Now I see...

What everyone is seeing is the OLD ImageIntegration video!

That is not helpful at all.

I will fix this as soon as possible.

At the end of Step 8 I explicitly say these two files are to be used in ImageIntegration!

.... 

Thank you for saying that I do not say this!

You are providing the BEST tutorials ever.  You are easy to listen to, you make Pixinsight understandable, well not as scary as I thought it might be.

Great tutorials Adam.
