Yes, that already exists. However the new site will enable this kind of thing in a better way I hope.-the Blockhead
P.S. The current button "Mark as Watched" is basically the same thing as favoriting. You can use it in this way if you want. Under yo…
Hi Brett,
I don't have a video that directly illustrates all forms of "good" and "bad" data. Satellites in your images are definitely NOT bad data.Neither are small tracking errors that are a small fraction of a set of data.In fact any issue that is…
Well.. my point is... if you are not using a filter... your filter name will be "No Filter" (this is the default in WBPP). You do not have to make a filter name if you do not want to. If, however, you are indeed using an OSC and you put a LP filter …
Oh... a third party script. Got it. I misunderstood... I thought you were speaking of something in the official release.
Yes, I have pestered Juan about the file deletion since day one (that is my day one in 2016).

Filters are automatically discriminated in WBPP (automatic keywording)...so you do not need to specify that as long as your acquisition software puts the information in the Header (as all software will do).
Long folder paths will give you another is…
Uh oh...maybe I do not have the most up to date version...I thought I did. I have not seen the blink2 process.
With 600s exposures with your aperture... the *minimum is probably around 50. (Or maybe 60 for 10 hours).However, if you are going to ski…
1. Yeah, generally you do not want your seams to run through good stuff- but sometimes this cannot be helped. If you use the right tools though..this isn't an issue. (I demonstrate with M78).
2. Number of exposure per frame is not critical IF you ha…
Keywords are found in two places... the PATH statement or in the FITs header.Yes, PI (WBPP) looks at both.
The PATH statement is a STRING (a long list of characters) that includes BOTH the folders and filenames. This is searched by WBPP for Keyword…
Basically this is just saying your flats are different in some way than your images when you exposing on the sky. The difference can be in degree because flats are bright compared to the sky.
Generally an annulus or circular over/under correction is…
Excellent!John Murphy is working on something else that NSG will soon be able to perform that will help many people. I am looking forward to his release of this... and covering the topic on my site.

You need to adjust the Weights and Transmission before you exit NSG (after it is done).You control the weight and transmission thresholds for integration.
(The text telling you to do this is in your screenshot...in the console!).
I do cover this in …
Hi Jonathan,
Please repost your screenshots with your new configuration. I got a little lost in your explanation.
I do know that what you showed will not work.
Remember the full path is what is looked at when WBPP searches for keywords and their val…
Hi John and Pawel,
As far as I can tell..there isn't anything wrong with this video that I think you are referring to:https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/multiscale-gradient-correction-narrowband-and-dual-bandI can hear myself and all of that.…
That is the point. You will only find the plate scale in the FITs header IF the person who took the data was using software that saves this information to the images (and furthermore, the person needs to input the correct value). Not everyone has th…
Actually that doesn't clarify... please remind me (or show me links) did I make data available in two different places? (I did not think so.)
Regarding LDN 183... can you show a screenshot of your ImageSolver screen? (What parameters are there for t…
Ah...sorry- I have been very busy as of recently.Equipment stuff (acquisition) is the side I generally do not speak a lot on. It requires an understanding of the specific equipment, needs and environment. There are just so many variables.The best ad…
Yes, I do think that looking at the data will always be beneficial... and it is more beneficial to those who have less than 10 years of experience. With 30 years under my belt (which seems to expand with the Universe...)- I really have seen so much …
