  • Ah Ok, Thanks Adam - as a side question, is there an Advanced Imaging Conference scheduled for later this year?  I'm not finding any info for this year. Thanks Reggie
  • I was afraid you were going to confirm that - this camera is specified as native 16 bit A/D but it hasn't really performed that way at least when taking flat calibration frames.  Have to do more research on this problem with others who use this came…
  • Thanks Adam - I did see that video some time ago but I forgot all about that.  One more video to review again... Reggie
  • One additional piece of info; prior to this final error, there were 2 others during the process.  I've posted below. Loading control points...Simplified surfaces: tolerance = 0.03 as | l: 710 | b: 765Simplified surfaces: tolerance = 0.05 px | X: 703…
  • So, reviewed the DBE tutorials and now I think I get it; no questions there right now. For MLT, I have 2 questions.  You used MMT to explain how the Threshold selection works for this particular module and you mentioned that you didn't quite know ho…
  • I have, more than twice.  Let me go through them once again (I view your tutorials usually more than twice anyway) and if I still have any questions, I'll just use this forum to ask them. Thanks; R
  • Ok - your comments for smoothing and tolerance are really helpful; I'm still having some trouble understanding those parameters and how to use them effectively.  I've dropped what I've come up with so far after using your suggestions in DropBox. Do …
  • Wow, thanks for this; it's a lot better than what I came up with.  I'm going to need to do yet another review of your DBE module as I still don't quite fully understand how to use the Tolerance and Smoothing factors; I'd used 7 for Tolerance and .6 …
  • Hi John - this was Telescope Live data.  Specifically from their 1Click bundled data of NGC 4372, the Dark Doodad nebula.  The data I get from them, whether it's an Advanced Request I made or like this the data is always calibrated by them.   After …
  • Hi Adam. I’m not sure I can answer that one. I’m not that well versed in file structure. Reggie
  • Thanks John.  So, I'm was working on a different dataset today and followed my normal workflow with NSG; I checked the NSG files and the FITS information did come across as expected.  Looks like it all works. Thanks for taking the time to help resol…
  • Got it and shared the folder.  Let me know if you need anything else. Reggie
  • Hi John; sorry its taken me a bit to respond.  If you send me an email address, I will share the DropBox folder I share with Adam that contain 2 XISF files.  The registered file is output from the Star Alignment Process which still has all the FITS …
  • Yes. And I checked the files after StarAlignment and the FITS info was still there. It was only after using Normalized Scale Gradient that the FITS info came up missing.
  • FYI - figured out what I did wrong.  Somehow, I'd inadvertently checked the "Overwrite Existing Files" when I ran the NSG script.  That destroyed the original data in the FITS header as is advertised.
  • FYI - backtracked and discovered that when I used Normalized Scale Gradient on the data after Star Alignment, the FITS Header was changed and the information was removed from the data.  
  • So, the good news is I retraced my steps and I think I got the process to work as advertised.  Bad news is I don't think I fully completed the process nor do I fully understand all that I did.  Sent an email to book an hour of your time via office h…
  • One additional piece of info; I decided to work on a Telescope Live 1 Click dataset of NGC 1365.  Processed through NSG/Integration of LRGB subs and when I did a combine via LRGB combo just to crop all each master LRGB files the same, I got the same…
