Thank you, Ivo. Datasets should indeed rarely require such high Dark Anomaly Filter settings, however 1 pixel may not be enough, particularly if the dataset is noisy. Reading this, I revisited the dataset and indeed this "effect" stops at about 4 to 5 pixels. That’s good news, I should haven taken a...

Hi Stefan, last days, I had a go (or maybe some more :) ) with your ST session log and your remarks. I would like to give feedback step by step and – of course – there a some new questions :lol: The data had a very homogeneous gradient which was very easy to get rid of in Wipe. That's nice ... recen...

Hi Stefan,

sorry, please ignore my last post and my question!
Meanwhile I recognized, you used the "Spatially Variant Mode", with 15 PSF samples. I missed that while reading the log.

Thanks & best regards, Dietmar.

Hi Stefan, last days, I took a view on your logfile and found found some interesting and really helpful insights to your development process. I will write down some notes in posts later on. At the moment, I have a question concerning the use of the SVDecon module: Referring to the log you used the d...

Hi Ivo, thank you for pointing out to the documentation with the M81/M82 example. That's a bit embarrassing; I swear, I read the documentation, but it may be some time ago. :oops: It must have been some kind of blackout, I was so concentrated on M82 that I didn't realized the impact on M81. In princ...

Hi Stefan, once again: fascinating depth and a background full of "life".
Regards, Dietmar.

Hi Stefan, thank you very much for posting the log. Meanwhile I analysed my own log and I found the reason for the burned galaxy core. As already said, I think you burned the galaxy core and some of the stars? A FilmDev issue? Usually I do use AutoDev, as recommended. But I admit, I often still have...

Hi Stefan,

could you please post the log of this Startools session?
Thanks!

Best regards, Dietmar.

Hi Stefan, first of all: thank you very much spending your time processing this data set and for your remarks! I really like your result and there are some obvious pros compared with my result (e.g. stars, background, colour) :thumbsup: . I will try to analyse this one by one with respect to your re...

Hi Stefan, that would be very kind. But please don’t waste to much time. You will discover multiple issues: - problems with tracking (due to overload of mount and bad seeing) - bad seeing - bright sky - probably problems with collimation - only 1h capture time This would be of interest for me: - Do ...
