  • Yeah... I don't know. Time, location, and software limits. That is all I know to look at.Some  software have a "side of pier" that might also come into play.-the Blockhead
  • I don't know what CAA is..maybe that is the software controlling the telescope. Whatever the software is will have a limit that you can set to determine the flip hour angle. Some software is even more sophisticated and allows for a window of time in…
  • Yes, you are saving the parameters you set up. -the Blockhead
  • You did notice you only have two "ww's" there right? -the Blockhead
  • Correct. MultiscaleGradient and a good many other things became available with 1.9 which is a pretty big jump. I suggest updating to the latest version of the software. It is stable from my perspective. -the Blockhead
  • Exactly. Superpixel does not interpolate between pixels. I will say you will want to be a little careful with superpixel. Since there is no interpolation- your images will be noisier. Interpolation acts like a little bit of a noise reduction. I just…
  • Jim, Are you upsampling when you drizzle ( you must be) or just doing drizzle 1x1? Yes, if you are upsampling you will need to adjust the parameters in ImageSolver. -the Blockhead
  • This is not one of my suggestions and runs counter to my suggested ways to create mosaics. I do have a course on this. Photometric Mosaic does the job. -the Blockhead
  • This isn't a strength of mine.(It is however a good one to have a conversation with ChatGPT). Other humans might also know...just not me.-the Blockhead
  • For the sake of learning... since you asked the question- please do describe what the problem was and what was the solution.Thanks,-the Blockhead
  • Well..if you want to do me a favor.. you can follow up on your post that I did properly answer the question and, to quote you, " Well worth being a member on Adam Block Studios....even if it was not PI processing.Appreciate your time in answering." …
  • You will receive an e-mail.I was told it could be this week... of course that leaves only a few days.Things will need to be tested... And you KNOW there will be issues once the site is live! Alas... it is very soon... -the Blockhead

  • Did any of the other responses you receive agree with me?(and what ratio? lol ) -the Blockhead
  • Yes, this is a physics phenomena. If you want to complain, it would be with the coatings on the window of the camera not being uniform to within the wavelength of visible light.  But the real test to answer your question is to take data, both calibr…
  • OK... so a couple of things. 1. Note.. you turned the camera/optics and yet the pattern remained fixed. What does this tell you? Answer: it is the camera.2. The "fingers" are a dead giveaway of a cyclic/repeating pattern. What is interesting is your…
  • Yes.... kind of.I will have the Everything Bundle that will include access to all currently available courses. The first year of the Infinity Subscription will be free for anyone getting this.  Existing members, such as yourself, probably will not d…
  • HI Wayne, I can't help directly... but I do have a suggestion.There is a wonderful search utility called "Everything" (yes..that is the name). It is quite amazing.I highly recommend it!It is free... and let me repeat... astonishingly good. https://w…
  • Right- the color offsets depend on a number of factors- so we will not get precisely the same answer. But it doesn't matter. Once you use the linked STF you and I should have approximately the same answer. Later after color calibration even better. …
  • Oh... I think I now understand the confusion. *SIgh* the post fix was _c_d_R 
  • Hmmm... I just looked back at this video..and it appears OK to me...https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/fasttrack-normalization-osc -the Blockhead
