Re: star mask extra information

Ivo, Thanks very much! Its funny..., I worked on this image some more last night, and was having trouble at first. After shirking the specs, I couldn't get the stars to grow right. Sometimes, only a few of the stars would grow, or I shrunk everything too much (I later realized), until I was able to ...

star mask extra information

OK, yes I'm very new at this... With this ST's attempt, toward the end,I wanted to work on the stars a bit. So I did a star mask, and it ended up masking scads of little specs also, (is this noise I did not get rid of?) and when I subsequently rounded my stars the little specs remained in the image....

Re: Importing TIFF files from Lykeos keeps crashing ST's

Ivo, WOW! I can't believe the service here! Thank you so much for your help! I really thought it was something I was doing wrong, or that Lykeos just wasn't going to work with ST's, but the fact that you modified Startools to work with an incorrectly written Lykeos blows my mind! Thanks! And, BTW, I...

Re: Importing TIFF files from Lykeos keeps crashing ST's

Ivo,

Sorry for the delayed response. I got caught up in viewing and imaging the Supernova in M-82 , and stayed up too late, and from lack of sleep, just remembered I made this post. Here is one of the files that keeps crashing Startools:

Jupiter Stacked 1-21-14 844of7908 2X ISO400.tiff

Thanks, Tom

Importing TIFF files from Lykeos keeps crashing ST's

Three days ago I was able to load a TIFF file of stacked frames of Jupiter from Lynkeos into StarTools and subsequently process the image. I made a better stacked image in Lynkeos (which is actually a smaller file) and it crashes ST's every time. I made a 3rd stacked TIFF file (still smaller), and i...

Re: How to mask stars only & not galaxy cores

Thanks again Ivo!

Somehow, I missed this up until now in the learning process. Every time I learn something like this about ST, I'm delighted with what it can do!
And, Thank you for the amazingly quick reply!

CS, Tom
