You posted a summary log that has virtually no diagnostic value.I have not run FastIntegration in a while..but I think it still gives you a log. Is this the log file in the LOG folder??-the Blockhead

HI Robert, Sorry... no go... You did not post the log file. (Please do review FastTrack Training on this subject.)You will find the log file in the LOG folder that WBPP generates. -the Blockhead

That is the thing about saving time... It usually doesn't end up doing so... :)(at least not in the beginning) Thank you for posting the link. However, you need to do one more thing. You need to set the permission to the filtes/link to be "viewable …

Hi Robert, You need to upload your file(s) to a cloud drive like Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox...etc etc. In that way you can share with me. If it said it failed.... it will say why. However, it may not seem to answer "why" in common parlance...bu…

Hi Robert, The list of answers to "what could be causing that..." is very very long!The generation of master lights occurs at the end of a succession of steps. The failure will be at one of the previous steps usually. You should have some some indic…

Joe,That sounds like the sensible approach to me. Of course the nuance is all in exactly how you blend the images together.Simply screening them might get you partway there- but likely isn't the best you can do. -the Blockhead

It appears you are up-to-date.If it says 0 references, then indeed there isn't coverage there yet.You can check the coverage maps to confirm:https://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?threads/mars-dr1-database-version-1-1.25412/ Sure enough- M81 is in …

Correct, I do believe they changed that in the last update.Just right click on your desktop in PixInsight and "Load Process Icons" .Then navigate to your Logs folder and open the icon group which will load into a Process Container. It is pretty much…

Hi Ken, Just a quick question...did you have a chance to go through FastTrack Training?I ask because you mention "No Filter" . Do you know where that is coming from?WBPP will attach filter names to master lights. "No Filter" is the filter name in yo…

Funny thing is... I answer all of this in Stretch Academy.No only about masked stretch... but what to do...and also the tool that does exactly what you want. So I want to get this straight you are on tilt (frustrated) because I answer so many questi…

The offset and and gain really must match to be certain you get the intended results between calibration data and subs. There isn't wiggle room. When the camera applies an offset of "20" and I not convinced this equals "20" in 16-bit sense. The offs…
-
You mention the offset you apply to the darks... but did you have the same offset and gain for the Ha/SII subs?The offset and gain of your calibration frames need to match your subs. That is an instant no-go if not. So...here is the question. Your …

Typically this means you associated the regular DR3 files with the GAIA process instead of the DR3/SP files. If you take screenshots of the the GAIA process... using the wrench- make certain you associated the correct files with DR3 and the DR3/SP. …

Hmm... this just points to a calibration issue.I assume you are calibrating the flats.You need to look at the value of the bias/dark you are using.It is too large (and this means you are subtracting too much).Why is it too large?? That is what needs…
-
You could use Pixel Math and an image container... but no, not in WBPP.But... is this a one-off issue? Why do you need to do this? -the Blockhead

Do you mean calibration Pedestal for narrowband images?If so, this is automatic in WBPP. If you mean an Offeset for a camera- you do not do this in PI- you do this using the software that communicates to the camera. -the Blockhead
-
If you have a green color cast- it means either your red disappeared in signal strength for some reason- or you are not managing the backgrounds properly. Did you remove the red background and now the green dominates? Did you neutralize the backgrou…

I think you are asking how to blend broadband data (complete...not just the stars) with NB data.No. I do not have this. I hope to have some examples in the future. Plenty of the techniques I demonstrate do explain the necessary tools and techniques …

Bruce, These videos explain the concepts:https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/colored-stars-from-nb-images-1https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/colored-stars-from-nb-data-2andhttps://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/nb-colored-stars-narr…

For that first point...If you have a well behaved CMOS... then you CAN use a single BIAS frame to calibrate all of your Flats.That is my recommendation. You do not need to acquire darks to match each exposure time. That is just a waste of time and e…
