  • Hope you don't mind me "butting in". PCC needs the image to have an astrometric solution to work.  You can do this at least two ways that I know. First, WBPP can do it for you by checking "astrometric solution" under the "lights" tab. Second, you ca…
  • Brook, Here's the URL for the GAME script: https://www.skypixels.at/HVB_Repository Go to Resources / Updates / Manage Repositories and add the link... then perform a "check for updates" Ron
  • Thanks Adam! I don't know how I missed the video when I went through FastTrack... but it was very helpful.  It helped me analyze the root cause of my problem.  It certainly validates my decision to opt-in for the PixInsight Horizons plan last month!…
  • Okay Adam.  I followed your advice and have discovered the issue.  None of those defects were eliminated in calibration or cosmetic correction.  Based on prior integration runs that worked, they are normally eliminated in the integration stage... ba…
  • Thanks! I did blink all the light frames and they have stars in them.  I will follow your advice and track them through the stages to diagnose the problem.  It's just weird that this problem has happened only in the last few nights when I've been us…
  • Just as a follow-up... I ran everything through Astro Pixel Processor (I used before PI) and they calibrated fine.  So... there must be something I'm doing wrong in PI. Ron
  • Peter, Yes, that is what pushed me to order the Aurora light panel. Also, I just watched Adam's YouTube video using my data.  I'm glad that I could provide this community service to the group... lol.  What an awesome job by Adam!  I'm really impress…
  • Yes... that stinking moon!  LOL! Yes, you may use the image any way you like. Thanks, Ron
  • Adam, Thanks for the analysis! So first, I began to suspect that my flats have a problem.  I took a new set this morning using the sky through a white t-shirt (no LED panel) and reran WBPP.  Much better!  I still have some molting, which I think may…
  • Adam, I'm attempting to solve the "low electronic noise" issue.  I've replaced and rerouted the cables... hope that fixed it. So... what's the easiest way to reveal this noise?  It seemed to only show itself on the very faint images... and even then…
  • Never mind... figured it out. It's Ron
  • Wade, Thanks!  Does anyone know the Mac equivalent? Ron
  • Thanks Adam! I'll take more exposures and keep working on my techniques! And yes... you are always right! LOL! Ron
  • Thanks Adam! Yes, I undoubtedly was imaging beyond my learning!  I just wanted to stretch a bit to see what I can do. I admit that I struggled the most with DBE... the complexity made it difficult for me to know when the gradients were all removed. …
