My try at the Comet and the new beta registration

Interesting result on the right indeed, but great to see APP working here. 🙂 In a follow-up version you will be able to remove the trails better, but people now use aggressive outlier rejection for that, sigma clipping.

Thanks, i watched the video again and was able to try the aggressive rejection and it did work. However still new at this and learning.

Thanks

Hi. I've just had a play with the Beta Comet stacking, here are my results... These were 25 20 second images with Hypercam 183C ProTec and Starwave 80ED. Couldn't get the light pollution tool to work though...

What didn’t work with the LP tool?

@vincent-mod Hi. I could not process out the orange light from light pollution that was affecting my view of the Comet. No idea why? Tried a few times. Always happy for any advice. 

Should be possible, maybe it does then affect the faint comet tail, which can be a negative thing about it in this case. I would need your data to try myself, if you want you can upload it to our server;

Go to https://upload.astropixelprocessor.com and use upload1 (or upload2 till 5) as username and password will then be the same as the username.

Create a directory named “charles-thody-orangebackground” and upload in there. Thank you!

Hi Vincent. Many thanks. A,m uploading some of my data files to the directory now. I will be very interested to see your results and how you achieve them. Charles

Thanks Charles,

I downloaded the data and will have a look today.

Ok so to me the data looks really good. Also after LP, I'm not seeing light pollution to be honest.

After first integration:

After LPC:

Hi Vincent. Many thanks for this, much appreciated.
