Tracking a comet issue

#1

Post by FXModels »

Hi everyone...
I have been trying to track on a comet but I just get double exposures like I am looking at it crosseyed with two frames, then triple exposures with three frames etc...

No matter what I set the ignore stars filter size to it doesnt work. No matter what I set the detection threshold to it doesnt work. It just adds another copy of the comet into the frame.

I have Align Frames and Align on Comet checked. I have Ignore Stars Filter size at 50 which was the default and it didnt work. Then I set it to
15 with no difference.
I have detection threshold at 0.10 to no effect, 0.05 to no effect and now .20 just to see what it does. No difference.

Its just not working. Comet is 2023 A3 Tsuchenshan-ATLAS. Its the fuzziest thing in the image.

Is this feature broken in the latest release? What might I be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Marc Dantonio
