Understood. I'm letting the Canon 6D go. It has got to be the adapter with the slide in filter holder. I'm tired of fighting it. Got other issues with PixInsight. Thanks.

I am so very sorry. I discovered what I was doing totally wrong in setting up the focal length and pixel size.I was using data for a different OTA and camera.When I set the focal length and pixel size for the right OTA and camera, it will plate solv…

I just ran another PCC on a different CR2. Leaving everything at default and just loading the coordinates for the object works.

I need to start a different thread on how to use DBE to handle those rings. I've tried radial in different ways.
-
The rings of light are due to an overcompensation of Flats. The master Flat kind of looks like that. The correct focal length is 2737. The pixel size is 5.97. This information is in that document that I attached in my last note. The date retrieved f…

Darn! Just when I thought things were going swell! I had a problem with the NGC1499 image and realized that I needed to redo the flats.After that was done, I used WBPP2 to generate a new master Light. And then it wouldn't plate solve in PCC using my…

That would be fine, and you can use my name. I found a solution for getting PCC to work on every CR2 image. 1. Plate solve with ASTAP - the latest version.2. Use the RA/DEC coordinates from ASTAP for PCC3. Capture the exposure date from the image in…

Good info. I have lots of clouds for the next week (when there's no Moon), so I can spend some time collecting what you want to look at. In the meantime, I'm looking at your videos on DBE again - and practicing!

I have a similar problem with reflections that appear to be caused by lens flare from a bright star just out of the field of view.Camera: Canon 6D, modified/cooledTelescope: Stellarview SVQ100Image: The Witch Head NebulaExposure: 1x30s @iso1600

Well, since the PCC problem was caused by an improper setting in N.I.N.A. and nothing to do with PI, can you elaborate on how this could benefit others to know about the settings in N.I.N.A.? I'm sure this happened when I totally deleted N.I.N.A. an…

I found the problem.In N.I.N.A., I had 'Do Not Sync' enabled for the telescope.Once I disabled that, any XISF or FITS file now works with PCC. Sorry.
-
I have three different targets all doing the same thing. ASTAP plate solves, PCC doesn't. And all since I reconfigured N.I.N.A. to output to XISF. The header information for the coordinates matches what SkySafari says it should be. When the wind die…
-
A question being asked:what metadata is it that PCC is actually using? the object coordinates, or the "center of view" coordinates?the two can be different
-
Let's look at this again. You are saying that the coordinates PI gets from the header are not anywhere near the center of where the object should be even though the object is centered in the field of view. Yet we can clearly see that the coordinates…
-
I'm beginning to agree with you.I recently changed the output file format from FITS to XISF in the N.I.N.A. software, and now none of the images I take can be plate solved with PI.

You wrote:This is very frustrating. I really dislike Garbage information in the header. Your coordinates are incorrect. What software is responsible for putting those coordinates in the header? Are you talking about the FITS header in the files? If…

The iCloud Drive is an Apple cloud storage. I've been able to share files and folders with other PC users with no problem. Ideally, you just click on that link and it should open up a folder in File Explorer. Here's a Dropbox link: https://www.dropb…

I actually resolved this problem by taking a new set of darks. I do need to be more aware of how I set permissions on my shared folders. Sorry.
