NGC3199 Narrow Band

Hi Adam,

Your section on CosmeticCorrection in NGC3199 fails to start. I don't think it is my PC as everything else works. Please make the data available for both NGC3199 and Ou4.

  • Hi John,

    Cosmetic Correction appears to be OK on this end.
    Regarding the data- Ou 4 is not available to me to distribute. This is property of TelescopeLive. (However, you can get it from them and using a code from my gets you a discount.)

    I will be distributing NGC 3199 soon once I finish the sections. I am in the middle of recording them now... so it will be soon.

  • It worked fine for me this morning.
  • Hi Adam,

    Here is the issue... Your link above does work and the video plays, but on the website the link is different.



  • OK! Yes, that link was badly formed. I have fixed it and everything should be good.
    Thank you for discovering this!

  • Hi Adam

    You probably already know about this, but just in case not --I was watching your color mapping video for this project and remembered that somewhere in my reading I had encountered a script to "mix" narrowband images.  Couldn't find it in the standard PI deployment but found it online....it is called SHO-AIP.  Don't know how to use it, but I installed it and took a screenshot.  Have you heard of this or used it?

    No, I did not know about this.. I have just started doing NB imaging. My images are TERRBILE right now.
    LOL. So, this script you show will mix in a straight linear fashion in the way I show with PixelMath by putting a multiplier by the image (the percentage). I do not think this allows for the variable multiplier I show- at least not based on the screen capture you show. It does look like a nice script to do the mix if you don't like using the expression editor in Pixel Math. Thank you for letting me know about this script!

  • You are very welcome.  Hope you take this the right way....but it is good to see an expert instructor struggle once in a while (although I wouldn't call your images terrible).....after all the great things you teach and the great images, it teaches us the most important lesson of all: getting good at AP (or anything else) requires learning new things, trial and error, effort, failing and trying again, etc.
