Thank you for the feedback Roger. I greatly appreciate it!There are more website changes coming up soon that will hopefully improve the ability to find information in an organized way. -the Blockhead

Hi Howard, The weighting videos are on the site as well. https://www.adamblockstudios.com/categories/new-normalization-and-weighting-pixinsight **************In addition to the GHS example of processing M42- please also see this example:https://www…

My above answer assumes you are looking to create a single integrated image. But then it wouldn't have been necessary to take the shorter exposures. So the real question is... were you acquiring the data for a single exposure or for compositing.Thi…

Oh... re-reading the first part of your question (based on the title)... yes, the weighting that WBPP does using your choice (PSF Signal Weight the "default") is the correct thing to do. Any implications would come from *not* doing the proper weigh…

Hi Howard, I am ready to answer your question..but I really do need a little more. I make an awful lot of videos! Can you please indicate which videos you are talking about before I answer? Concerning M42...you did watch my video on GHS in which I d…

Well... such an image does not exist in terms of awards or recognition.Narrowband imagery is the purview of astrophotographers with their own equipment because of the time it takes to get enough exposures/data.I have never owned my own telescope and…

If you want to see (and control) what is going on... there is a program called Project Lasso. I use it... it is very nice.-the Blockhead

If I do get you on the right track... please let others know.Thanks,-the Blockhead P.S. I will not apologize for having too much content. :) Knowing how to do many things and addressing everyone's questions in videos I think is the point. It does l…

Hi Richard, It did indeed fail during ImageIntegration. This is because you ran out of memory. -the Blockhead

Hi Jon, There isn't a specific video but I do explain... it is all in terms of WBPP setup/configuration. 1. You said the "flats are different lengths"... maybe you just meant you had different flats. As long as your files record the proper filter na…

Charles, An image would help. If the issue is exactly what Bigsos showed, then it is because he used overlay which does not have a gradient of change from one edge to the other using the overlap reason. Your issue sounds different. A screenshot woul…

Great job on that! Wow.One more thing... the dark frame method (new CC in WBPP) would have avoided this issue.You might consider using this method going forward with your sensor.-the Blockhead

It appears to me you are asking to adjust the image from this point. However, this rendering appears to have been stretched too much to do what you want. I suspect you were concentrating on the faintest nebulosity (to the right) and allowed the othe…

Here is the thing. You are making my case for why workflows are not the answer in the long run. You want an order. But I say the ordering depends and may change. So I say one order and then in another video do something else it will appear if I am n…

Well..that last statement is kinda how the real world works to be honest. But I do think his falls in an area that different people really do have different preferences. I am happy to give me opinion of course and explain why I think so... but there…

" I didn't see that in any of the videos. You offhandedly remarked to "set it appropriately." I have no idea what is appropriate or how to determine that" I just want to say this is one of the many examples where Horizons and content within it assum…

Nah... just expose equally in RGB...and yes, you can combine all RGB for a "super luminance." This is an option... I demonstrate this in one of my workflow videos.-the BLockhead
-
Yes that proportion is what I used to do for LRGB acquired data.However, the 20% of time or so in each color was made more useful by the fact the chips were binned. This is no longer a benefit for CMOS sensors. So the real question I think is... is …

If you are talking about the extra small spikes- this is because you have a minor turned down edge (TDE). This can be minimized/fixed with a mask of the primary mirror. It appears very minor to me.If you are talking about the small wiggle of the lef…

Use SubFrameSelector to get the numbers you want. I do have a few sections on this. https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/subframeselector-part-1 -the Blockhead
