I am getting vertical banding at lower ISOs with my DSLR. What would be the best procedure to reduce it, besides increasing ISO next time?

Re: Incompatible TIF files

I always use FITS for the tracked processing, but sometimes I like to use the tools in the layer module on images that have already been processed. I may have done some adjustments with other software, and I find that some of the Startools blending operations are very useful. Power of Inverse for ex...

Incompatible TIF files

I have experienced some instances when ST will not accept TIFs, even after I confirmed that they are 16 bit uncompressed. IS there some other criteria that needs to be met?

Re: Special Techniques Index

The TIF output of Starnet++ V.2 cannot be read by ST. Is there a workaround?

Stacking TIFFs in DSS - Better for StarTools?

Re: Laplacian Filter

Ivo,

Yes I am thinking about edge detection and enhancement. Please elaborate on how the Gaussian could be used. I would think that this would have the opposite effect.

Laplacian Filter

In the layers module, how about adding a Laplacian filter? I knw the Sobel filter is there but adding a second order filter could provide more possibilities.

Re: CPU/GPU Resource Usage

Thanks I'll check that out. I also now see that I should have gone over to the main site where the use of the GPU is explained in more detail.
