  • I fully understand, and appreciate the feedback. I'm going to think about this a bit, but you are correct; the noise just doesn't look right. I'm going to go with the fact that the transparency that night was just poor. Given that, I will assume tha…
  • Problem resolved. I got WBPP to run the full stack, including LN, with no issues. Unfortunately, it's the same rainbow gradient. I'm uploading both a screenshot of the integration and the log. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Additionally, here is…
  • Hi Adam. Thanks for the reply. You know, I've probably gone thru this stack 10 times since I posted that first XISF and, frankly, I was tweaking a lot without being very consistent. Let's re-baseline. WBPP kept crashing with memory errors upon integ…
  • Hi Adam; I know you have little interest in this thread, but I have hit a wall. I've have been doing this 3 tears and have never come up against this "rainbow gradient". I have also always trusted PI and never really was much interested in the math.…
  • I'm closing this topic with information in the event others search for this type of problem but cannot find help. The flats were always calibrated. My concern was whether I was calibrating them properly for blue-sky dawn flats. In the end, there rea…
  • I calibrated the flats using a master bias and a master dark (optimized/calibrated).  I also attempted putting all the raw frames (lights, flats, darks, and bias) into WBPP and got the same output.
  • Sounds like a plan and I do appreciate you helping me figure this one out. Full disclosure; I previously only shot flats and flat darks, no bias. So this is the first time I've ever tried to integrate using bias (subtracted from the flats). I will s…
  • Yeah, I've looked at it several times, but I'll give it another go. It is the first time I've used true sky flats so that might be  factor. I wonder if using a pedestal during calibration of the flats makes sense?  And please tell me what you are se…
