Re: Issue with De-noise in 64bit

I was able to reproduce the bug with denoising without Tracking on.
It should be fixed in the latest version (now up for download).

Any reason why you would want to use denoise without Tracking on?

Re: StarTools parameterization and project (session) save

Thanks for this! There are a number of things I'm toying with for 1.4 (which will be mostly about architectural, optimisation, stability and engine upgrades), some are very much along the lines of which you just described (in fantastic clarity and detail - thanks!), including tighter intergation of ...

Re: StarTools Wiki

Agreed!
1.4 should see consolidation of the application and documentation and a wiki sounds like a very good way of accomplishing some of this.

Great to hear! The better the data, the exponentially easier it becomes to process and the sooner you can establish a workflow that works for almost all images you produce. :thumbsup:

Re: Issue with De-noise in 64bit

HI Ivo Every time I use De-noise on any image, the program stops working and closes down and you lose what you have not already saved. The tracking is turned off when I use this function. Is this normal ? Regards charles Hi Charles, This is certainly not normal behaviour! What platform is this on a...

Re: wipe module and nebulasity

No such thing as a silly question! The (also not very silly) answer is that, yes, you can tell Wipe where to sample and where not to sample ('DBE style) by means of a mask. In this YouTube video for example a mask is used with Wipe to tell it not to sample M8 for background pixels. To do this the la...

Looks like they're possibly remnants from Wipe. Increasing the precision parameter could possibly help, but what you need most are flat frames - the vignetting and gradients in the data are quite severe!
