Question on Master Darks and Dark Flats.

Randy Rowe

Using WBPP.  when it is all done it makes a master of both the 300s darks and the 1.25s darks, that goes with my 1.25s Flats.  It also makes a master Flat. now when I go to use WBPP for the next image from the same night or next night if I didnt change filters or rotate camera.  Do I need the master 1.25s dark in the section for darks or is my master Flat already calibrated with it from the first time?  Also do I still need the calibrate with dark flat checked? 

Thanks

Randy.

A Master Flat is calibrated (unlike a master dark... don't even think about this too long!).

So you are correct the Flat Dark you have on hand will not be utilized...though it will not do any harm sitting there. 

No..I do not think you need this checked for the same reason- except the next time you use WBPP you would confuse yourself and accidently leave it unchecked... use the wrong dark for the flat...etc etc.

The REALLY FANTASTIC NEWS...all of this will be going away soon and WBPP will be simpler. It will not work with this checkboxes- instead you will see how frames are being matched directly. Coming soon!
