Hi Ivo - No need to answer this question. You answered this question in an earlier post. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1451

Hi Ivo, Quick question .. Can I output an intermediate composite file from StarTools (prior to Tracking being turned off) and then bring it back into StarTools with prior tracking info intact? For example, If I take a narrowband file(3 files really) through Deconvolution and save it, could I re-inpu...

Probably a dumb question No such thing! but with a DSLR like the OP has (or a OSC camera ), how did you obtain the red and green channel images you showed? The Compose module will automatically extract the right channel from a color dataset. E.g. if you click "Red/S-II" and then load a color datase...

You can see how out of focus the red channel is versus the green; CAsbs.jpg This is what causes the fringing and greenish star cores (if not remedied). Hi Ivo, Probably a dumb question, but with a DSLR like the OP has (or a OSC camera ), how did you obtain the red and green channel images you showe...

My advice is of limited value because my experience is solely at EAA. What I can tell you is that if the gradient is produced by UV / IR rays ( Ivo said), I always use this filter for the IMX294C chip and it works quite well for me: https://www.astroshop.es/filtros-l-rgb/astronomik-filtro-de-lumina...

Note that there may be some impossible-to-correct color skew if you did not use a UV/IR cut filter ( see here on why ). @elpajare Image has hideous rectangular vignetting. Stacking program problem? DSS has a long standing issue where even if you use Interesection mode, it leaves border of exactly o...

My opinion is not that of a specialist, please take it with reservations. Image has hideous rectangular vignetting. Stacking program problem? It also has a very horrible gradient, I have also used Wipe at 90% !! For the rest, the result is this that I put you. If it seems correct enough, I will tel...

OK, file was stacked with all recommended StarTools settings. Note that anybody who looks at this will need to crop out the strong blooming/lensing/?? effect at the top. I have no idea what is causing it, as CMOS sensors are not supposed to be susceptible to blooming and the 294 sensor is not known ...

Hi, I am using a ZWO ASI294MC Pro one shot color (OSC) camera. I am having trouble with some files getting an accurate color rendition using the Scientific Color Constancy option in the color module. I'm hopeful someone can educate me on the best workflow to use. The images below show some quick and...

I think that was it - cores look normal (to my inexperienced eyes).

happy-kat
