UPDATE FROM MABULA
I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
Hi all, I processed my first set of images and calibration frames with the trial version the other day with decent results, for a newbie! Today, I had lights 120x30, 60x60, 40x90 and 12x300, with lights,darks and flat darks matching each. I loaded them all at once and hit "integration", after two hours the image which was generated is totally black. Any thoughts?
I am attaching the TIFF and jpeg file of my first image that had no issues. Thanks!
Something went wrong with your upload of the black image, could you try again?
Here is a small TIFF and jpg from the bad result. When I processed the same files in DSS I got a good result. Don't know where I messed up
The attached image shows the result of the sessions of both days. On June 25, the results were as expected. The resulting output on June 26 had intermediate files for 30,60,90 and 300 sec, all of which were totally black when opened, as was the final result. Don't know if you can have any insight by examining the file outputs. Thanks.
So, tried it again, this time placing lights and calibration frames into different sessions (30,60,90,300 sec), with flats, dark flats assigned to all. Same result...totally black final image. What can I share to help diagnose the error? Would copying the console contents help?
Mmm, what settings did you use in APP, all on automatic? What is your exact workflow?
Vincent, thanks for your replies. I persisted and used my laptop this time which has a faster processor and 16 GB RAM vs 12 on my desktop. That, and it seemed I had loaded a couple of bad calibration frames during the first efforts. In any case, I did manage to generate a file which I could then process in PS. Thanks again.
@vincent-mod @mabula-admin Vincent (or Mabula)...back again with the same (or similar) problem. I have had intermittent success in using APP but have had several sessions where the final integration has no data and a black screen. I try to be careful adding lightd/flats/darks and dark flats and can't identify the problem. When looking at the file data I do see
SNR & noise NAN - 0 as shown in the attached image.
Also, quality score (infinity symbol) INTEGRATE
does this give you a clue?
Please let me know what additional info I can provide. Most settings are default (I did select multi-session, RGGB, Force Bayer and Ha-OIII color)
Thank you.
Ah yes, that points to a data problem for sure. Can you post some screenshots of your master bias, master dark and masterflat? And maybe also a sub? It almost seems like your noise floor is too low. What gain and offset do you use?
Hi...my master calibration frames are 31 MB and site will not let me attach actual files.
ASI071MC PRO at unity gain 90 using Radian Triad Ultra Quadband filter on RASA 8. Here are screen shots. Thank you.
Master Flat
MD 60sec
MD 90sec
MD 300sec
MD Flat
Light 60sec
Light 90sec
Light 300sec
So that doesn’t seem like a big issue right away. Can you check the offset as well, it should be in the fits header in the window left of the image, I think a bit to the bottom of that list.
If all seems ok-ish, I think the best thing is for you to upload some files to our server for me to check. I’ll share the link later.
Hi Vincent, offset is 65.
@vincent-mod Hi Vincent...I processed new data of a new target and used new flat and dark flat subs with the previous MD created by APP for 90 and 300 sec. images and everything went well.
However, in an attempt to do some Hubble palette of today's images with OSC I ran into this error message when attempting to re calculate using the SHO Hubble 2 scheme.
Thoughts??
Sorry for the delay.. Mmm, so maybe I'd need the data for that to check.
You can upload some to our server (<- click that link) with username/password: appuser
Please create a directory called "john-quinn-hubble" and I'll have a look asap.
Thanks, Vincent
