  • Can you show me a screenshot?It sounds like you are not navigating to the your folders? (can you get to your folders on your computer?)You can add Views or Files... (little arrow)... you want files. -the Blockhead
  • Stephen Campton-Jones4:54AM 220.233.44.3I think I have found the issue, maybe.  Step 9 Combine the images (Image Integration) video.Under Image Integration tab in the Image Integration process you haven't ticked "Generate Drizzle data".  In the foll…
  • Yes!That will *update* the drizzle files. I think I mentioned (as I do everytime) that this is a poorly named box. It should read "Update Drizzle data" . Can you verify I do state this in the video?  I know I did in all previous version of FastTrack…
  • Did you run ImageIntegration first to update these files (and you included both the drizzle and local normalization files? -the Blockhead
  • Just to be clear... you did run the files through ImageIntegration first and updated both the drizzle files and the local normalization files? This is done before Drizzle Integration. (We are talking about the manual method here correct? Not the ful…
  • I do not think LRGB as it was originally implemented is now very helpful with CMOS sensors. There is no readnoise benefit to acquiring binned color data. Disregarding that statement- even if you expose unfiltered data- yes you can get better S/N per…

  • Something is very much wrong. I am not certain what is going on. The masterfile you made available seems to show that: 1. The incorrect debayer pattern was used. These colors are not correct.2. The flats were not applied. You also have a grouping ke…
  • I guess the issue is these telescopes are designed to be antithetical to formal image processing. In this case if this telescope is says: "Understanding that image processing is half the battle in astrophotography, Celestron utilizes AI image editin…
  • Concerning your second attempt... there does appear to be a configuration issue (and also you remember about not using AutoCC for this data right?). You would need to post your WBPP screens to begin with. -the Blockhead
  • Hi Rich, Unfiltered mono is such a different kind of data in terms of brightness and wavelength- that my intuition says it doesn't make sense to combine unfiltered (or broadband)  data with NB data.  It is kinda of like the following. You take a pic…
  • Yes, again...this is a consequence of old versus newer content. Today Russ' technique is now built into HDRMT the process. You don't need to manually do it anymore (which I show in yet newer videos).  The new site will not present you with a mix of …
  • Hi John, I am not certain. But you can use the breadcrumb trail to navigate to the main topic page...namely:https://www.adamblockstudios.com/categories/ngc6250 So the released videos is not the best way to watch my content. This particular example i…
  • HI John, I do not have a specific video on Background Neutralization.This process simply adds or subtracts a constant value between the three channels to make them equal based on the background levels of each. You can either measure the entire image…
  • Hi John, Yeah, I will have a get all current content type bundle plus a subscription that keeps you up-to-date on the new stuff. I am still working it out..but I think I am converging. Thanks again Mark for the conversation! -the BLockhead
  • Also I do have some explanation of how this works in FastTrack Training. However, I have a more detailed explanation in what I am now calling my PixInsight Core Bundle (course).  -the Blockhead
  • By the way... this video is EXACTLY the video that subscribers of my new subscription will benefit from and get to see. This is the benefit of being a subscriber in my new way forward.-the Blockhead
  • If you watch the video I JUST UPLOADED (I am going as fast as I can..they just released this!) I explain so that you do not need to "figure it out..." https://www.adamblockstudios.com/articles/mgc-mars-update-20250320 -the Blockhead
  • This data is not available on-line as far as I know. (This isn't like SPCC.)This is a specially developed file exclusively for PixInsight and this process.Yes, this is gradient correction.Does this answer your question? -the Blockhead
  • The second part.But to be certain- look at the MARS announcement. You can see the new coverage maps and verify you are looking at a piece of sky that is not covered. The areas toward Leo and Big Dipper and such are not yet covered. -the Blockhead
  • Sorry Arthur. I fear this is simply manual alignment. I do not know of any program that will do the job with your data. When you take images of some events or objects- sometimes you need to think about the processing consequences when you set up the…
