Star ADU or value

Post by Morten Lerager » 01 Feb 2023, 19:52

Hi
By using the Image.Stars.Find(n) I seek the ADU.
If I use .stars.adu(i) it returns a huge number. Maybe 32bit. Otherwise using pixel x, y function i get the 16bit value.
The image is 16bit.
Am I doing something wrong here, or is there an logic explanation.

Ohh, the function should be named "lumen"
My mentor describes it as the xy gives level of one pixel. ADU return all light from the star.
Thank you. :D
