Hi, to calibrate a sequence for photometry, for another software, which cannot correct darks and flats during photometry itself: 1. Enable the option "Save each image". 2. (Optional) Select "None" as stacking method for images, so that no result image will be created. 3. Auto-alignment: usually this...

Hi, I suggest to ask for technical support at: https://www.msb-astroart.com/support.htm (this forum is not for technical support). Actually with a google search I found: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/ylaveh/search_for_app_in_store_popup_when_trying_to_run/ but those methods look too ...

So i guess I now save this image. Which again I guess would be the 11 stacked corrected image. ? Hi Eric, try stacking 2, 5, or 11 images, the improvement on the stacked result (which will be called "preprocessing01.fit", "preprocessing02.fit", etc.) should be evident, use the full frame blink to v...

5) Add the Flat fields into the "Flat fields" box and the Biases into the "F. Dark frame" box (the "dark frames of the flat fields". On modern cameras you may use biases for them).
Correcting the Flat fields with their "dark frames" is mandatory for a proper division.

I suggest to test incrementally: 1) Add your images to the "Images" box, verify that no options are active and press OK. You should get a result image with trailed stars and noise. 2) Enable auto-alignment in the "Options", press OK, the stars should now be round, but noise will be still visible. 3)...

Hi, 1) Yes and it's recommended. However using Master dark frames and flat fields is just a speed optimization, which will save 4-5 seconds for every process. Before doing that, verify that the results you are getting are already correct. Then, a Master file can be created "manually" placing dark fr...

Astroart 8 SP4 has some new script functions to create a sequence of images. Try the following example after having connected the Camera Simulator: if Sequencer.Active then print "Sequencer already running" Script.Stop end if Sequencer.Clear Sequencer.Add("Light", 3, 10, 1) Sequencer.Add("Dark", 2, ...

Hello, Astroart 8 SP4 includes a new SDK to easily develop image processing filters. Using a built-in dialog window, Astroart will manage automatically: Preview Real-time preview Comparison with the original image Undo Documentation so, the programmer only needs to code the filter itself. The parame...

further information from the updated documentation: Optical distortions with user defined polynomial order ... use the option "Distortions between images" only if the images cannot be aligned well by normal rotations. This can happen with large fields when the images were taken on different nights o...

Hello, a new minor version of Astroart 8 is available (actually it's a pretty big update): Version 8.0 SP4 - May 14, 2023 ------------------------------ * New feature. Optical distortions with user defined polynomial order. * New feature. Align RGB planes with optical distortions. * New feature. Cor...
