Hi,

I'm new to Pixinsight...trying to run exercise in the WBPP tutorial. It fails with the following log messages (the light frames are loaded:

 Master dark: none

Can anyone advise where I've gone astray?

HI,

It does not appear that you loaded the darks frames.

Can you attach a screenshot of your WBPP configuration?

Another thing... when you run into a problem like this. I would reccomend that you delete ALL output files and start again fresh. This is a good exercise that will weed out small errors. Once you have output files and you try to run things again...it is introduce other errors that are not really part of the problem.

(So delete all of the folders that WBPP made...and start from the RAW files until you get it right.)

Hi,

Thanks for your assistance, I've attached a screenshot of WBPP.

Hi Jeff,

In your calibration settings, you have the box for "Dark" unchecked. 

That is why there is a red "NO" symbol in the Darks column for your lights.

Hi,

Thanks, worked through the previous issue...it appears I confused the order of things during the discussion of different sensors.

Everything progress smoothly until PCC color correction...I do have the databases installed, the panel is configured as per the tutorial.

Thanks,

Hi Jeff,

You may have done the same thing as James did on this forum a few days ago?

Please check to make certain all GAIA files are installed..that would be a good screenshot.
