46 pages, yikes! :shock: These are very thorough notes. :D So, I only made it through page 1 so far. Two things perhaps: 1. For OSC Open, I'm not sure middle button is really middle button anymore, since with Help at the end there's 4. 2. The synth L is indeed specially weighted from the RGB channel...

Great Aurora image, Dietmar! Neat you can see the high magentas and low greens. :bow-yellow: That was a fun night. Of course, just as with the eclipses, I was ill-prepared. :( Instead of just leaving my camera and tripod out there, and in a predetermined "good spot," each time I saw the data coming ...

Hi Richard, I'll go backwards. ;) 2. I don't think I can do any better than the ST website and Guy's notes on Super Structure. 1. Yes the latest release can give a feeling of being muted after OptiDev, relative to what we were probably all used to. This came about from increasing bit depth...or some...

I saw this in some thread on CN the other day, pretty cool. He just keeps adding stuff. Now, if only I could ever learn how to use it -- other than running a pre-fab stacking script. Once you learn it (no different than you have to with DSS or ASTAP), WBPP is just so easy to set up complex stacking ...

Hey John, Well bright moon is like more light pollution, so you need more time on target to get the same as you would without moon. Also you'll be adding a moving gradient. If you can make some kind of shield to prevent direct moonlight into or across the top of the OTA, that can help some. Picking ...

Hey John, I really don't know Sharpcap at all or how it produced your file, but otherwise can echo what Dietmar said. I dragged the file into PI to check the header and specs, and yeah it looks bayered still. So I just ran a debayer and it came up color. Seemingly the right pattern, as the sky was g...

Ah, now I get it! My fault. I didn't realize you were talking about the other file "stretch". I had figured that was just some sort of interim file used for creation of hist.csv, since I couldn't make sense of it (only two columns in v1). So I haven't even inspected any stretch.csv data at all. But ...

Please be sure to get and use the second version of the tool. As I tried to describe (pls. see above), a single level of the pre-image can be mapped onto a range of levels in the post-image. For example, an input level of 72 may be mapped on 23425 up to 23486 on output for different pixel locations...

I do not understand the details of these discussions despite my efforts in rereading them several times. I am, however, very interested in the improved OptiDev results with the changes in last month's 1.9.565 Beta and would love to read more about that. Thanks, Jeff Hi Jeff, Well yes that's what we...

And my ST while I was at it. :D :thumbsup: I just checked my ST licence and it already expired one month ago. :shock: But latest beta works without hint and saving is possible as well ... :think: @Ivo - maybe your licence check does not work any more? Just renewed as well - it's really only a symbo...
