Thanks for clarifying Adam, really appreciate it! Sorry about the confusion with my sentences, upon looking back, I have definitely mucked up my wording. Good to know about GradientCorrection and it's limitations on correcting images without flat fr…

All good Adam! Thought I'd ask anyway. I checked out some before and after images online and from what I see, it is normal for my Radian 61 to display the stars like this, but I still think it is out of focus slightly. I will try and shoot the Banan…

I am happy to report that once I installed the remaining Gaia DR3 catalogue, my image finally plate solved. For some reason I must have either not installed the DR3 part of the catalogue or I somehow deleted them. Anyway, problem solved! Zak :)

I am having the same problem on one of my images I took of the Dark Doodad Nebula. I don't know what's going on, but I made sure to enter the correct information before initiating it, but like you it will not plate solve. Attached is 2 links, one fo…

Awesome, thanks for clarifying Adam! I thought that was the case with the master files. I will also now be keeping the log folder as well so I can refer to it and select the same reference frame if I add more data to a project. Zak :)

That's what I thought, thanks for clarifying Adam. I went back and tried it on my image of M20, and sure enough, it worked! You are right, I kept on forgetting to stretch the mask first then apply it to the image. I was perplexed as to why it wasn't…

Hi Adam, Please disregard this topic as I have developed my own workflow for stretching duoband data. Zak

From the files I provided, there is the two images that I used before HDRComposition and the HDR image just in case. The problem file is: integration_normal_cropped_r.xisf Whenever I use that file with my core exposures in HDRComposition, it doesn't…

Attached is what a registered sub looks like straight out of ImageIntegration. Here's a link to the files should you need them: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19TljQKQVmQJ7IE52U3s-8s_aDQyrbrEF?usp=share_link If my data is not the best exampl…

All good, I'd rather know what your thoughts are! :) To answer your question, the core in those images are just about blown out, yes. Might have to go back and re-shoot the data again with more consideration for the core. I did watch your example wi…

Hi Adam, Thought I'd give you an update. After thinking about it, I asked myself if it could be my computer parts, so I looked at my CPU usage when LN was running in WBPP, and it was nearly using 100% CPU consistently, and sometimes throttling at 10…
-
Awesome thanks for clarifying! I'll use less reference frames for LN if I have lots of images. Hopefully that will decrease the processing times. I used to let WBPP do LN automatically, but now I'm doing it manually after seeing your demonstrations …

That's great to hear about the stacked image, glad it's nothing related to that. I don't think I have heard of the method you have described before, but it does sound interesting. If it's covered in one of your Fundamentals videos, I'll definitely g…

Oh my apologies Adam, I didn't realise you were recording tutorials. Sorry about that! Here's the link to the stacked image straight out of ImageIntegration. I've also included the rejection_low file too for your reference so you know where the bord…

Sorry Adam should have specified earlier. The white dots are indeed stars, it is a OSC image, no drizzling has been applied and NoiseXTerminator was used after making the image starless and running DBE a second time. The attached image is the final …

Hi Adam, Apologies in the huge delay in the response, have been super busy with studies plus there was COVID in the household not too long ago. Thanks for your insights about synthetic luminance, I did do some testing with it and like you said I fou…
