Re: How Do I Convert FITS to TIFF?

Thanks Robin and Menno! Not sure where we go from here, but hopefully the developers of PIPP and address the issue. In the mean time I'll use ASIFITSVIEW to convert my .fit files to .tiff

Please let me know if you hear anything new about a fix for the problem.

Ok, give this a try. It's my first attempt to share a google drive file so I hope it works.

Re: How Do I Convert FITS to TIFF?

I get an error when I try to upload the .fits file. It's 152 megabytes.

Re: How Do I Convert FITS to TIFF?

Hi Robin, I'm running version 2.5.9 just like you. When the issue first appeared I removed my PIPP installation and downloaded the latest version and it still occurs. It occurs immediately after selecting the file from my hard drive and the "Output Frame" window opens. 1) Start PIPP 2) Fil...

Re: How Do I Convert FITS to TIFF?

Thanks Robin and Menno. I have previously used PIPP but it no longer works. If you look at the attached image you can see a vertical line about 20% from the left side. That strip is an artifact of the stacking process and should be on the very left side of the image. For some reason PIPP is cutting ...

How Do I Convert FITS to TIFF?

Hello Everyone,

The "Save as 16-Bit Stack" option in Live Stacking creates a .FITS file, but Photoshop can't open this file type. How are you converting the .FITS files to .TIFF for Photoshop post-processing on a Windows PC?

Thanks,

Mark

Re: Debayering FITS with PIPP Not Working in Version 4

Thanks Robin. I'll change my 4.0 setting to the "inverted" option that you circled below and see if it works the next time. Here's my process: When I'm ready to do a "Save" of the stack I'm using "Save as 16 Bit Stack" and this creates the .fits file. It is always in bl...

Debayering FITS with PIPP Not Working in Version 4

Hello Everyone, Previously in version 3.2 I would save my stacks as 16-bit FITS files and then debayer using PIPP. I just tried to debayer a FITS file created in version 4 and PIPP is chopping off the rightmost 25% of the frame and sticking it on the left side of the frame. Did something change? Tha...

Huge FWHM Differences between 4.0 and 3.2

After using a Bahtinov mask to focus on a bright star I started live stacking and was getting FWHM values of 8.2 and greater. I closed SharpCap 4.0 (the latest version) and started my older version of SharpCap 3.2. With the same exposure, gain, everything I was getting FWHM values around 4.5. How ca...

Re: Polar Alignment Disagrees with PHD2

Great, thanks. I'm going to do the recommended process of doing the polar alignment in one direction, then do it again going back to see if it remains the same.
