LRGB error message.
Posted: Sat Sep 19, 2020 7:23 pm
I'm clueless.
I failed to come up with an image on my first try at LRGB, so I carefully prepared a 2nd set with a new target.
In APP, I separately stacked subs from L, R, G, and B and got unstretched stacks for each.
I went into the compose mode of ST and selected "L/RGB". It's the only choice that seemed right.
So I loaded in the L stack and it took those. Then I proceeded to the "R" stack. Oops, something it didn't like.
I got the error message as follows:
"The dimension of the bitmap you're trying to load differ from the previously loaded file bitmap. If you're trying to composite an LRGB image with RGB binned at 2x2 please load the non binned luminance channel first, then the binned RGB channels."
I didn't bin anything. I did load the L stack first.
The LRGB stacks done separately in APP all looked good individually, so I lack the technical knowledge to understand what ST is telling me is wrong.
Should I just go back to APP and combine the LRGB stacks there?
Can you explain in simple terms what I did wrong in acquisition or ST to produce this error? All 4 sets of subs were done with the same exposure time and settings. Only the flats differed in exposure time to put them in the middle of the histogram.
