FastTrack Step 10: SPCC Color Calibration Database Issue

Still_Cloudy · December 2023

Hello,

I'm really enjoying the FastTrack course, and have done fine until Step 10. The program can't seem to find the Gaia database, even though I have downloaded it, and I don't know how to tell the program where it is. Here is the message received when attempting Color Calibration:

I would appreciate some insight into my issue. Thank you.

My apologies. I had downloaded the Gaia databases, but I failed to upload them properly to PixInsight in step 1a. Now that I have done that (Process/Gaia), all is working.

FastTrack has been an excellent program. I could watch a 100 random PixInsight Youtube videos, and never really learn how to use the program. FastTrack is concise and well organized, and now I truly do understand PixInsight and am able to work with it to process my data. Before FastTrack, I was struggling to have a proper work flow. Now I know precisely how to proceed. Thank you Adam!

Howdy, Stranger!
