Hi Peter, Then I will add the FITS output to the command line DSS in the next release so that you can integrate it nicely in your automated workflow;) It will...
Hi Peter, Oops! In fact it will be either 16 bit (integer), 32 bit (integer) or 32 bit (float) FITS file output. The option to select the bit depth already...
Hi Peter, ... I don't yet for sure. The main new features are coded and tested. A few things need to be added too and then everything need to be translated and...
Hi Kuc, The translation files you made, and which I downloaded a few weeks back, are they up to date? If not, is the current download up to date with your...
Hi Eelko, ... No yet. They are up to date with the current official version of DSS and DSS Live. I have not yet generate the new po file (probably tomorrow)...
I just tried DeepSkyStacker for my first time last night. I just want to say, "Wow!". My past experience has been using Meade's DSI cameras and software. I...
... Since you are adding filetypes to the output, can you add another one that's trivial to code - pgm and / or pbm ? They are dirt simple files to work with,...
Hi Gerry, ... The difference is that the code to write FITS files already exists so it was just a matter of using an existing class. PGM is not hard to code...
Hi Luc, Sorry to bother you again but I am really confused about these bias offset files. To recap, I have a batch of individual bias frames which are all very...
Hi Simon, Well, apart from making measures by using two different software (even if is it roughly the same code behind) I can't explain why you have ...
Hi Luc, I think you have found the problem. I have the white balance box checked in DSS, so I guess this is what is causing the problem. I will uncheck it and...
Hi Luc, I re-ran the bias frames through with the white balance unchecked. Unfortunately the files are still very different. So I will ask the PI guys if there...
Hi Simon, Since the request will probably come back to me (I wrote the RAW file decoder in PI) can you first try using TIFF file as I have explained ...
Hi Luc, Sorry I didn't realise you had writen the RAW decoding on the PI stuff…it's a small world! As you suggested, I took the CR2 offset files, extracted...
Hi Simon, Indeed this is what I was expecting. The problem when you compute the luminance from the color image is that it depends of the color space used. With...
Hi Luc, Well I am glad that all my pestering has ruled out any problems with your software! :-) Many thanks for explaining the issues here, I hadn't really ...
Hi Luc and All - I have been using DSS to stack images for a while and I noticed that in the newer versions, the grey image resulting can be adjusted to...
Hi Simon, As long as you stay in the same software (PI for example) you can use any file format. If you are planning to use multiple applications then it...
Hi Jerry, It has always been the case but now you have a little more control on the RGB background calibration option than before. Anyway, this option is...
Here my first question to the Group: It's possible to calibrate properly also a monocromatich CCD fits file using DSS. It's necessary to select something...
Hi Davide, ... Of course it is. :) Normally you just have to add the FITS files to the list. However, in some cases and since FITS files may come in many...
Thanks Luc! I'm testing with STL11K fits (light, dark, bias, flat) and I would be sure that no debayerization/interpolation would be done. by Davide ... file ...
Hi Luc, thanks for a fantastic software! I have used DSS for 3-4 months now and repeatedly have become amazed by the results obtained by stacking RAW-format...
I just about gave up on my trying to stack Running Man since DSS would not stack any images, so I decided to try and stack another batch without any darks,...
Hi Ron, That looks strange indeed. Can you send an image of your mount? Can you explain how you align your mount as well, since I think there is something...
Hi Ron, I still think that the main problem is the noise in the images that is either creating false star images with low detection threshold or hindering the...
