Thanks Adam, Re: Due Shield: It's a Celestron flexible with dark interior. Would that be a problem? How do you take flats without a dew shield if you are using a HyperStar? Re: Flocking paper I'll try it! As I promised above I have now loade…

Thanks Adam, I totally agree that I should diagnose the underlying causes of these issues first as opposed to using PI to fix them. And I have been trying to do so for a while as I’ll describe below. I’m using a 9.25” Celestron SCT, HyperStar …

Thank you!

I think I figured it out. In the tutorial the luminance values had been changed within STF from the 0.0, 0.5,and 1.0. In mine they had not been. So in the video the RGB channel values indicated a change. Whereas in my case they simply stayed the…

Well, a few weeks ago I thought I had figured out what was causing the gradient on my images, specifically, either issues with the dew shield when creating flats, or light from neighboring windows in our condo complex. But while on vacation I took …

I might be able to wrap a belt around the shield while on the scope to prevent the material from bending in an irregular manner.

I think I have figured out the issue this am. (And you're right!) My dew shield is very flexible and when it's on the scope all the way it's shape is not a perfect circle. It's oblong. So it's blocking light on one side of the lens. Not sure how …

I went back a reshot my dark flats again and got good k values for them. I took another look at all the frames again in Blink. I then reprocessed everything in WBPP without using any prior masters whatsoever. The master are in the link below. A…

Got it! Relative to the log file what would I need to look for? Thanks Much!

I'm going back thru all my frames and reviewing the k values. Additionally, I'm running Blink again. Hoping to resolve the issues with M95_96 that I'm having. The average k values are as follows: Lights 0.07-0.08 30 sec exposuresDarks 0.0297 …

Thanks, I'll take another shot at it! I did complete the Fasttrack training. Excellent course! I know SO much more now and feel confident I can start to create some nice photos. I have data on about a dozen objects that I will use to practice t…

Any help is greatly appreciated relative to these WBPP screen shots. Thanks!

Here are the screenshots of my WBPP board for the above.

Thanks! I did look at all the masters but I thought my master dark flat was "ok". I'll take another look. Maybe I didn't cover or seal up the scope well enough when I finished the regular flats and some light leaked in. When I create a flat I put…
