Hi Bob, thanks for sending the bug reports - always useful. I have located them and I can work out from the info the problem that is causing the crash. Unfortunately, it looks like that problem was a result of something else not quite being right and I have to try to work backwards to understand wh...

Hi Dave

Sounds like a plan. Borodog is the guru on the settings, etc and has a series of youtube videos that pretty much lay it out.

Nice!

What would be cool next time is to proceed with the AS!3 (there is a AS!4 btw) registax route, and also use the planetary livestack feature in SC. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the result of livestacking and processing adjustments on the fly.

thanks Robin Really appreciate your efforts. "I was also having trouble with the auto-colour-balance last night - it worked well enough if you have saturation=1, but if you have turned it up to 10 or more for the mineral moon effect, the 'auto' results were always far enough out to give a signi...

Hi Sent them along as automatic crash reports around 5:00UT. I tried different ROI, and still got it. Surface, multiple point, I think it was the latest version. I pretended that I was capturing a planet and used feature tracking, with planet/disk selected and a single point, and I stopped getting t...

thanks. But please realize I was not being critical of my blown out stars.

I just thought of a way to reduce the effect a bit.

No need to do the AP-ish separation of stars and low contrast content. The images we all generate with your EAA tool are wonderful.

Hi Robin Thanks for the reply. Yes, I use that mask in an unconventional way I guess. I can see why you hadn't thought to disable it during dark capture. I have blown out stars in my EAA captures. I invoke masking overexposed pixels to take out the central core of the star. I think it helps with the...

Greetings I recently acquired a few more hot pixels, so I wanted to generate a new dark frame. Much to my surprise, when I was done, I got MORE hot pixels (!) I scratched my head for a bit, a few dead ends, but finally realized that while darks and flats and background subtraction were automatically...

Thanks Robin That 'rind' I thought was just a natural consequence of the wavelet sharpening process. Since I'm a EAA purist (and a bit lazy) I just keep it, but others who do planetary lucky imaging mask it out post-process. If you can figure out a way to do it as part of the livestack workflow, tha...

Hi All Have been playing around with the surface stabilization on the full lunar disk. At first, I used full disk/planet with rgb align and got reddish artifacts. I thought at first it was the L-pro filter I was using (I didn't want to mess with my DSO imaging train at rip out and replace with a uv-...
