AstroArt9 - Pixinsight

Post by brujo » 15 Oct 2025, 07:15

Hello.
When I load a fits file from AstroArt9 into Pixinsight, I get just a gray image.
In version 8 that was not the case.

Maybe I have found the solution.
In Options -> Files I have checked "Open all images in floating point"

Hi, that would happen also with Astroart 8. The dynamic range of the image is 0 : 71920, so the image gets saved as 32 bit integer, which may not be supported by PI (the maximum range for 16 bit is 0 : 65535). So a solution is to convert it to floating point (menu "Edit/Data Format") before saving, or just open all images in floating point.
Another solution is to set "Keep result in floating point" or "Keep result in 16 bit " inside Preprocessing.
Clear skies, Fabio.
