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.
Dear astro-friends,
I trust your are all doing well. Please allow me to open this new topic regarding an issue that I have been experiencing and which I am still unable to find a proper answer. I would be grateful if you could help.
When the overall stacking process is over, I have no image. I am using lights, flat, dark flat, and dark. Despite double-clicking, nothing happened. In addition, it's like the histogram at the top right is "empty".
It might be culprits are my calibration frame. I ve tried to integrate only Flat and Dark flat = same issue. Did the same with only Darks = same issue. I am unable to explain what's going on. I didn't change anything in my process.
FYI, by loading only lights in the system = it's work, there is an image.... 🤔 🤔
Can someone share his experience ?
I thank yo in advance for your kind support.
Regards,
Aygen
We're here to help so thanks for the question! Can you also try integrating with just the darks?
Dear Vincent,
Thank you for your kind support. I just tried again only with darks - same results - no image after integration. I am a bit lost to be honest. As for the darks, they are of the same exposure, t-degree, etc. than my lights. What shall I do ?
Oops sorry, I meant without any calibration data, so no darks. 🙂 Or did you test that already, given the last sentence of your original question? If so, then there is an issue with the darks most likely. You can upload some darks and lights to us if you want;
Go to https://upload.astropixelprocessor.com and use upload1 as username and upload1 as password.
Create a directory named “rkas12-darksproblem” and upload in there. Thank you!
Was my first step. Without calibration I do have an image, as mentioned in my first reply.
Since I haven't moved / touched my equipment - I will redo my F, DF, and D. But honestly I don't know what went "sought".
I will keep this thread updated.
If you upload your darks with some lights, I can probably tell what is going on. But if you're not able to, check your offset for instance. The offset shouldn't be very low (or 0, which sometimes happens).
I can upload my files if you want - with pleasure. How shall I do ?
If you scroll up 3 messages, you'll find the information I provided. 😉
@vincent-mod
My bad :). However, when entering the upload1 and upload1, getting an "error"....arff
So you go to the address, it has a login screen and you enter upload1 as both the username and the password. It works here at least so the server is ok.
@vincent-mod
All good - it working.
Just uploaded the files.
Thank you for any help...
Below is the integration lights without calibration... not too bad though.
Exellent, I'll have a look at them today.
Update : just try the integration process once again with freshly new taken dark (same exposure etc. etc.). Integration now shows an image while before it did not 😫 . Also, what could be the reason for the stacked image to be of different color while using dark and not ? In my very example colors are being showed differently before and after using new freshly done dark.
Thanks or your reply.
Sorry, missed your reply. So you solved it with new darks? Yes, that happens sometimes and it's a bit of a mystery as to why. Usually it's just a setting that was missed in the not working ones, without being obvious.
