ubuntu 22.04 Hi Ivo, everyone 3 minor issues: - OptiDev: no pre/post tweak toggle on OptiDev (can't see what it was like before we applied ROI or any of the sliders) - Colour: 'After' toggles to 'After' (- zenity: the file window opens behind the st window. If you're full screen, you can't see it. E...

Blue outlines mean there is too much nebulosity surrounding the star to get a good estimate of the PSF.

Thanks. Yes, seems reasonable as the blue outlines coincide with gas/dust.

re: svdecon

Hi everyone
What do the blue mask outlines mean?

TIA and clear skies,
Steve

SVDecon sampling takes -quite a bit- longer than previous versions and you can''t 'mouse ahead'; you have to wait for the star to be selected before moving on.
Anyone?

Hi Ivo, everyone

Nice to be able to get right into the centre of a globular.
Great job. Thanks.

Hi everyone SVDecon is fine on both 539 and 541 under Ubuntu 22.04 even on an old i5, 8Gb. Could the issues be os specific? Observations Decon of the stars seems harsher than 1.8. 5 iterations in 1.9 seem to give similar stars to 10 in 1.8. The starfish method of sampling is an improvement. The tran...

This, for example, greatly reduces the need for things like the Shrink module. Hi JTOL... But please don't remove 'shrink'. It has saved many an image for me! The combination of svdecon and shrink produces a far superior result to those awful star-removal algorithms which are currently fashionable ...

SV Decon no longer requires separation of samples when using built-in mask generator Hi everyone Not sure about what this means. The spiky style star mask in the new SVDecon makes it difficult to select stars for sampling. Maybe we don't need to select stars in 'Sampling'... (?) Any guidelines for ...

banding Hi Love it. Amazing detail. And patience! Assuming Siril for pre-processing... Before you register, you may want to run the sequence through banding reduction . It doesn't alter colour so AFAICT, should still qualify for opening in st as OSC without penalty. Cheers and HTH, Steve Added skyg...
