Somebody on CN just pointed something out that I had not considered with respect to using Dashes . . .now i rename my MasterLights without any dashes anyway, but I could see there being an accidental issue had I not seen this: PixelMath sees Dashes …
Just a at-a-glance summary:
Only use Underscore ( _ ) as stop character. Put it between all words. Avoid using spaces or dashes (apparently it can cause extraneous words from your file/folder names to appear in the wbpp columns--it'll probably still…
Oh, you were giving an If/then scenario . . . apologies, that wasn't clear. I was hunting for where I had dropped in m42 images.
But yes, I definitely will be trying to integrate multiple targets overnight at some point, so I will need to be able …
(I'm not sure I'm seeing m42 anywhere, but if I'm missing that, I certainly need to address that . . . i haven't imaged that this year at all. Could you please point me to where this is? I'm just not seeing it)
re: spaces, dashes, underscores: I am …
Ok, I'm VERY close to getting my method down . . . there's another user on CN who does mosiacs and his brain seems to work very similar to mine in terms of how to structure things . . . I've got it 99% working! Thank you for your help!
One slight de…
I am using a mac...max_path is 1024, so I'm good there (although I will now be shortening things up anyway), but I did check that when I saw that video title.
I am using the asiair plus, and since I do not use a filter wheel, that tab is not turned…
LENH is just my code for LeNhance filter. I'm specifying so I can start to figure out how to combine filters' data, esp if I ever decide to tackle mono. I do have some m31 data with a few different narrowband filters that I was just experimenting w…
Yes, I am getting confused as to what PI looks at: Folder names/File names and/or FITS keywords embedded in the file (ie you don't see them in the finder window on mac). It looks like it is both.
What I have been trying is using the batchkeyworded…
(I've changed all the dates back to their original YYYYMMDD since changing the day could mess with important information needed by scripts) . . .so it's back to each night having 2 dates for one target.
Ya, I was just confirming that there are folks suggesting that more complex road . . . only way I'll even consider going that route is if it is possible to create a "profile" that I can turn on and off for my mac studio display where another mac stu…
Thx. Lots of folks on CN suggesting the whole monitor calibration thing. I'm not going to rent or buy some calibration tool to mess with that though. Plus I don't have photoshop...not entirely sure what it was that photoshop provides, I'll have to g…
Would you suggest these changes to be done via Color Saturation process and/or Curves Transformation, or are there other tools that you have found to be more effective? I am guessing use CS to blast up the colors that are deadened on the print, then…
Thanks. . . my guess was that I'd have to make it almost cartoonish on my monitor. I want to be the one making the changes since they won't know what I'm looking for. . . though if they have a decent monitor, I just want it to look like what the fil…
Oh gosh no, I still agree that you should never apologize for having too much content! Creating a table of contents for every video would be an impossible feat, and I don't think it's something that you should be expected to do. This whole thing is …
Ya, 3 is sort of my last option . . . My cousin lives in Western NC, right in the bullseye of all the flooding. She loves pictures of space and I'm going to try and get her a couple of nice images printed on Acrylic or Metal of her favorites for Xma…
You were correct: Wasn't the shaking of the patio . . . I was using my iphone compass and pushing the side of the phone (under the buttons so they weren't skewing) on the side of the am5 to get it pointed north not realizing that the metal etc in th…
Thanks! I found that ES site too. This'll be a great skill to learn! I got some comet images, but not from the top of the hill where I live that has an amazing view of the western sky with foothills in the distance, but Polaris was blocked, and I ha…
