I'd think it has to do with the variable parameters but I'm not sure if I need to increase or decrease pixel size or focal length or what. What I can't seem to do is solve a drizzled image. If the image is not linear, you probably need to increase log(sensitivity) in the advanced tab. As long as the other parameters are correct (focal length, etc) the image should solve itself after hitting go. If the image is a linear RGB, the default parameters seem to work well.

Just use the button to 'search coordinates' for any object in your FOV, it doesn't have to be in the middle. PCC - you don't have to solve the image yourself. I used a reference from the same channel I was combining, because the noise would be something it could normalize in a way I thought was correct. Thanks PI for not providing documents and waste my time for figuring them out myself. If it doesn't go as expected, I'll be back with notes.Įdited by Michael Covington, 17 December 2018 - 10:56 AM.Did you solve the image from within PhotometricColorCalibration? If so, what image did you solve with? Original captured FIT file or RGB combined file? I know I can solve the RGB combined image with different plate solver, then what?įor LocalNormalization, what reference image am I supposed to use? What if all of my captured images have horrible gradients? (I didn't see anything about not running it on more than one computer at the same time, provided one person is doing it! And that might actually be practical when doing a big processing run.) One individual can install and run PixInsight on any number of computers. (3) The PixInsight FAQ assures us the license terms are the same as they have been - per-user, not per-computer. As I understand it, the regeneration can only be done once, but the license file can be copied to multiple computers as long as you put it in the right place (which is not the same as for earlier versions). (2) Per the release notes, the license file has to be regenerated and is stored in a different place (in Windows, it's somewhere under %appdata%). However, the previous one can still be downloaded. (1.5) You have to uninstall the previous PixInsight in order to install the new one. Or check the exact length, 292,345,896 bytes for the Windows 64-bit version. The symptom was that, when launched, it ran for a few seconds with nothing on the screen and then stopped.Ĭheck the published checksums. (1) PixInsight's servers are heavily loaded, and the first time I downloaded it, I got a seemingly normal.
