Terry,
Is there any difference in results when using Pixinsight to stack vs DSS? I have Pixinsight on my Mac and I can also run DSS using Windows also on my Mac using VMWare Fusion - but not quite so convenient.
In Pixinsight there are two scripts Batch preprocessing and also weighted batch preprocessing as well as many types of processes for individual operations. Which do you use/recommend?
In the Equipment Profile Manager I do set the profit as a default. I also use the File option to apply the profile to an existing Sequence. I also use the View Control Panel to check what is currently being used but I don’t use it to make changes because they don’t update either the Equipment Profile or the Sequence.
What I find with the Equipment Profile Manager is that it defaults to a New Profile when it is started e.g. I created a profile called “Example”, make some changes and save it. When I restart the profile manager it does list “Example” but starts with New Profile. It is easy to update a New Profile when the intention is to update a previously saved one e.g. “Example”?
I have played with ASTAP and it does work on images I added. Plate Solve2 didn’t seem quite so effective. I know these can default to Blind Solving and they seem to use this regardless of how the settings are adjusted. So perhaps they fail and fall back on ANSVR?
