![]() It's been designed specifically for the various tools to work together. It can do it, but some things are not done all that well.Īstro Pixel Processor is, like all good astro processing software, a complete package. The question then becomes what other software to use? A terrestrial photoediting program was not designed to do astrophotography. DSS and that other software was not designed to work together, and both DSS and the transition causes many beginners issues. You then have to take the results and transfer them to other software for processing. DSS is an older program for calibrating and stacking. APP has many more.options but it seems much more complicated to grasp. I have used dss for a while and recently have been using APP. Thanks!Ĭurious why you'd recommend astropixel processor instead of deep sky stacker. This really does a great job of illustrating just how much I was leaving out there. I take flats at the end of each imaging session, before I've touched the setup used for the lights.Įdited by bobzeq25, 09 February 2023 - 01:57 PM. But taking flats on different nights than the lights is a bad idea. You can take darks, dark flats (or bias) on different nights than the lights. That's the real problem here, the stacking artifacts are very small, and there's nothing unusual about them. Regardless of anything, your flats _did not work_. I pulled out more nebulosity by not going after the vignetting aggressively.ĭark flats are a perfectly good substitute for bias. You both were certainly able to pull out more nebulosity! I think perhaps the issue there is that I only took one set for the stack, rather than a nightly set? Or do you think that I need to take bias as well? I did not take bias as I was under the impression that with a modern CMOS, they were unnecessary with flats and darkflats. ![]() Manually acquiring target on multiple nights seems to lead to issues on the perimeter due to human error.Īs for flats/darkflats, I took both. The "missing data" issue, I believe, is a bi-product of the lack of goto funtionality. There is probably lots of potential for this image, starting out with the raw data from the camera. This was just a quick process that took me about 10 or 15 minutes. PixelMath to combine the starless image and stars using op_screen.HistogramTransferFunction on both the starless and stars images to apply the preceding screen stretches.Modified the ScreenTransferFunction stretch on the stars to reduce the size of the stars. ![]()
