Hi. I was hoping to do some work with calibrated, but un-registered images. I checked both boxes to create calibrated and calibrated/ registered intermediate...
Hi Adrian, With RAW files the calibrated file is not yet debayered and that is why the image is grayscale. To transform it to a color image it must be...
Hi Luc. Thank you - I understand now why the intermediate images are monochrome. My reason for wanting the calibrated files ... It's to process images of...
Meade DSI can save files as FITS3P. These contain the RGB and L elements in a single file. Can DeepSkyStacker process these files and if so how does it treat...
Arthur, FITS3P only contains R, G and B frames. L is saved separately. DSS works fine with them. It is stacked as RGB. It is saved as FITS3P. I suggest you try...
Why when stacking many images do I end up with only 1 image being used in the stacked result. The scores for individual images range in values from 10 to 40,...
Hi Arthur, ... Most certainly it is because not enough stars are detected (a score from 10 to 40 is quite low). It can be because the star detection threshold...
Hi Luc, hi TJ, I'm very interested in this topic, cause I obtain same result a couple of times, but only when a short focal lenght is envolved (eg 200mm or...
... Not at this time. I have tried several CHM to PDF converters without much success. The page layout used in the CHM file is really not suitable to create a...
Hi Rosario, TJ, Sure enough DSS needs a little free space around each star to be able to detect it properly. Drizzle has nothing to do with star detection...
Hi, This is my first post and I am new to DSLR astrophotography and DSS and would appreciate some help. I stacked 4 images (each about 2MB) and the resultant...
Hi Wingko, The TIFF file size is directly dependant of the size of the image and the bit depth used. By default DSS is creating 32 bit rational TIFF files but...
Tried reducing the threshold, but even with it at its lowest setting (2%) still only detecting small number of stars and low scores. Againonly 1 image is...
Hi Arthur, Just a wild guess: did you change something in the RAW DDP dialog (like reducing the brightness maybe). Anyway, if you send me a single image I can...
Hi All, Here is a small release which main goal is the integration of the last version of dcraw adding support of the following RAW file formats: AVT F-080C,...
-Thanks, Luc, for your help. I can see I have much to learn. Wingko -- In DeepSkyStacker@yahoogroups.com, "Luc Coiffier" ... and ... also ... (JPEG, ... Gimp ...
Bonjour Jean-Luc, En fait non, le sRAW n'est pas un binning. D'après Dave Coffin (l'auteur de dcraw qui a implémenté le décodage du sRAW), le sRAW est...
Hey All, Just a quick question: after the creation of the Master Dark and Master Offsets, is there any reason to keep the individual Dark and Offset files? It...
I have a problem aligning some comet images. The images are P17 Holmes, which covers a large part of the image. I cannot mark the comet core in DeepSkyStacker...
Hi Mark, I am never throwing anything so I am keeping all the RAW dark, bias and flat frames. Hard disk space is really cheap these days and you never know ......
Hi Jacob, I know the comet Holmes core is very big and bright (even if the real core is quite small). The trick to mark the comet core in these cases is to...
Hi Wingko, I recommend Irfanview (freeware) - this is an excellent image viewer which can do some basic processing, has a very good resize algorithm and gives...
Can I combine an equal number of darks taken at differnt temperatures, lets say 50 deg and 40 deg, and get a reasonably accurate representation of a master...
Luc and all, I am investigating field rotation in my images and would like to stack my sub frames without any correction of the movement of the stars in the...
Hi Joe, I tried this myself but didn't have good luck with it yet. I didn't spend too much time with it though. My next attempt would probably be to use pixel...
Hi Hunter, I use AS-IP or Envisage to do that. I use Excel/Calc to plot the alignment data from DSS. Have DSS calculate offsets and right click in the file...
