While I am very grateful to John for the Cookbook, has any better way to prepare FIT files for Roddier tests emerged? And what exactly does K3CCDTools do with...
Hi Dmitri, I have also had some success using the "Nebulosity" program from stark-labs.com. It costs $45. You just read in the Registax image, perhaps crop if...
John, Nebulosity works very well for Roddier. All I have to do is to open the raw file in PS, make a square crop and save as 16-bit TIFF with any compression...
Hi Dmitri, Thanks for info. Yes, I think in the end Nebulosity may be easier way to go. There are less steps than K3CCD and FV. Steps are something like...
Hi, I'm one of the moderators here and since you are all so well behaved the job consists mostly of reviewing the first posts of new members to make sure they...
I've just spent half an hour typing the post when it desintegrdated before my eyes. Warning to slow typers - Yahoo has a timeout that will simply ignore you...
Well, this time it SHOULD work. I just wanted to share some observations I had while using WinRoddier 2.2, some people might find it useful. First, current...
I think the easiest way is to save Registax picture as Tiff, open it in IRIS and save as FIT. Works great. Seems like French astrosoftware Gods are using same...
... I think this is a good tip. Once in IRIS, you can do the cropping as well. Yet another program to use, but the results are definitely worth the trouble !...
I used window3 256 (to crop 256x256) to do the cropping. Very easy and fast. Roddier test ROCKS! Thanks bratislav for actively promoting the software! Big...
Dear Roddier community :) Would anyone please explain how do I ensure than my BW modified ToUcam gives a linear response? I usually set gamma somewhere in the...
... ToUcam ... middle ... You can make a linearity test using lights of different brightnesses, where the ratio of the brightness is accurately known. For my...
Dennis, Yes, at least when I use my color ToUcam with K3CCD, gamma=zero seems to be linear. There is also some info at this site where another person gets...
What "Corriger les images" in menu Images does? Most times it doesn't work but when it does I receive some absurdly high Strehl (up to 0.99 fo Meade SN scope)....

I am not sure what it does. A BabbleFish translation gives "Correct the images." However, when I try to use this feature I get crazy results, much as you...
Hi zeissnut, Yeah, I figured that it has something to do with correcting images. I don't use it when testing my scope, I was just curious. There are a lot of...
... What it seems to do is register the images (ie put both intra and extra focale star images in the center of the field). ... I have found I can get absurdly...
I don't think it "registers" images. It seems that extrafocal and intrafocals are somehow mixed together. I have a few dust motes on intrafocal but on on...
Hi, I think the cookbook still makes sense, eventhough we nowadays have a new version of Roddier. So in/out focal images around 140 pixels should be ok! ...
I never use intra/extra images less than 100 usually 120-160pix ... [roddier] Re: What Images-Corriger les images does? ... intrafocals are somehow mixed...

Group - I am attempting to apply Roddier analysis to my 10 inch f/6 Newt. Two questions in this regard have arisen: 1. Roddier has an entry field for the...
Hi Mick, ... f/6 ... report a ... Yes. ... effect? My feeling is that the spider will not have much effect. It will show similar patterns on both sides of...
Dr. Biretta - thanks much for the inputs on Roddier and Newts. My initial trials have yielded indications of really bad performance (P-V 1.9, 0.82 Strehl)...
