  • Hi Adam, I may have posted this question somewhere else (sorry) but can't find it. I have had very good luck with fast integration, almost 99% of images successfully integrated, and remarkably fast.    What do we give up in quality (or whatever) by …

  • I am hoping to speed up my WBPP processing. Is GPU acceleration helpful?  My GPU is Intel UHD Graphics 630. TaskManager shows GPU use is very low
  • UPDATE:  Confirming that using darks with the same offset = 30 setting as the lights had successful 100% images stacked, with no errors. Master light is reasonable considering only 40 light frames.  no rejected frames.  Good astronomic solution. Thi…
  • Adam,  I think I understand the problem, but not the solution. For reference, this camera is a 3 year old asi294mc.  Full well:  63,700e   Dark frames created using APT app. I inspected the master light (180sec), single frame light (180sec) and mast…
  • So not clear what you want, (#DATA) but - - - Here is a link to one of the fits files, I provided earlier as a jpeg. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z9-J50hCWGkqKwfjWQ3MAx8MlIMl4E4v/view?usp=sharing Yes, please take a look. Thanks in advance. Les
  • Adam, Thanks for quick reply. Sorry I do not understand your zeros question: AB: You didn't mention zeros in the data... you didn't indicate a pedestal.   If you mean the pedistal setting in WBPP, I have left it at default zero.   AB: Can you plea…
  • Hi Adam, Appreciate your diagnostic help if possible. I have been plagued in recent months with failed WBPP runs, where stacking completely fails or only a few frames are stacked.  Most usually the process fails in the measurements step where, in th…
  • So I think the problem was solved but the answer was not about cache.  I erase the cache almost always, and double checked it with a couple test runs.   I was getting a couple messages in the processing window: Warning: Failed to measure frame - ima…
  • Ok, thanks.  Will try that.  Did not intentionally cache, but perhaps failed to delete it.  Do you find that in the log file ? Or how.  Les
  • I am having an odd problem with WBPP.  For reference, I am using PIS build 1585.  I am currently shooting with a C-11 at reduced FL = 2312mm which makes pretty large stars and may be part of the problem.  Last week I started shooting Caldwell 23 gal…
  • Thanks.  Your opinion is greatly respected and appreciated.  L
  • After I read your comment, I looked at my most recent masters from a project.  The drizzle file is about half the size of the undrizzled flile.  See bottom two files in screen shot.  Also attaching the WBPP pipeline, if it is useful. I also do not u…
  • Thanks, I will do it~
  • Think I solved my LN problem above.  Somehow the integration process got UNchecked on the pipeline page.  Sooooo many settings to check and double check.  Nice if you could just save your preferences somewhere in a profile page!  See screenshot if i…
  • I have seen some videos about 'activating' the graphics processor to speed up PIS wbpp.  Seemed like an involved process, and done differently in various videos.  So I wondered if you or anyone have an opinion of the good and bad for doing this?  Or…
  • Do I understand correctly, that the 1x Drizzle does NOT increase the file size ? Thx. L
  • I had a different WBPP problem with a different data set (heart nebula).  Attaching a screen shot where WBPP just stopped in the Local Normalization process.  Appreciate any suggestions how to diagnose where the problem is caused. 
  • Didn't address your question.  Yes the raw files show the difference in matrix pattern when loaded into WBPP.L
  • Can this be caused by a write to file error by the camera?  If a line of data was truncated for some reason or ?  Don't know how to diagnose the source.  Suggestions appreciated.
