Hi Paul Sorry yeah I did check the wait for script to end but same as . I've downloaded an earlier version and as soon as I get a clear window I'll try that and see what happens I will keep you all updated Regards baz

Nothing stands out in the log . It's not a single error like yours it's every time it gets to the second exposure. I've changed every single setting I can think of but the same as .

It's not having the issue with solving or after the flip it just fails to trigger the camera on the second image in the goto++ sequence which is set to 5

That won't work as it fails on the second attempt to fire the camera . It solves after the first photo is taken then moves closer to the abject as it should but then fails to trigger the camera for the second exposure Regards Baz

I found an old demo version 3.90 so I've overwritten the newer version and will give it a go once the rain stops ....which looks like never

Hi why the offset in your plan Regards baz

Hi I'm using platesolve 2 and astap and using thr latest version of app I updated to the beta version yesterday but the rain stopped play . It's driving me mad I find atp absolutely brilliant and highly rate it butvthis us driving me crazy Regards baz

Hi guys No I'm trying to automate a session so I can use session craft to trigger a time to start a plan . The issue I have is if i use goto++ in pointcraft it works flawlessly However using it as a command script it is set to try 3 times to move and solve the image . So what happens is the first goto ++ it triggers the dslr and solves it moves closer to to the object and triggers the camera for a second time but although it triggers it it does not fire it so then the script hangs until I stop it .I have sent the log file to ivo but I don't like to keep pestering the guy 😕 Regards baz

Hi guys I'm trying to use apt goto++ to solve in an automated script . It actually works upto the goto++ takes an image then solves moves closer to the target then takes anothet shot only on the second exposure it does not activate the camera . However if I use goto++ manually it's works flawlessly. Does anyone have any ideas of what I need to look at to sort out this problem Regards baz

I got up early today and managed to integrate starnet into pixinsight and it does work however the second formula gave me a weird result that was white like a starmask Regards

Thanks guys I'll give it a go in the morning I've had a play about with it and ended up with this Its a long way from great but my flow isn't great either . So I did the bg removal then background neutralise then photometric colour calibration then stretched it . Took the results into starnet and split the stars then into photoshop cs6 and combined the two in layers and allowed the star version to come through by adjusting the opacity of the starless version . Am I on rhe right track or wayyyy off 🤔 Again thanks for the time taken to reply gys

Ok slowly getting it but I use a dslr so it's a one shot colour affair . Or is my workglow wrong as I don't split the channels I've looked online but there is so much I don't really understand

So after I stretch it I split the photo into two one with stars and one with out then work on the starless one and recombine them both is that the idea ?

Hi guys So when using starnet to reduce stars do I process the image to finished state before using starnet or at some point along the way At What point do i remove the stars in the process . Im using starnet as a Windows stand alone as I am unable to get it running in pixinsight Regards Barrie

No apologies needed all the info is good Thanks guys

Yeah the links above won't ship to the UK. What about this one https://amzn.eu/d/9QuODDJ

Hi mate ok just been looking at a 685 nm 2 inch ir pass filter on amazon it does however say its for planetary photos moon etc . Will this do for dso as well and also will it help with moon glare when it's up when i image dso or do I need a different wavelength I already have some ir filters for landscapes etc but they are at the 720 850 and 900 nm and I think this would only get bw at this higher end This is the link to the one I'm looking at Svbony SV183 IR Pass Filter 2in, 685nm Astrophotography Filter, Infrared Telescope Filter for Photographing Moon Planetary Nature Scenery https://amzn.eu/d/40cJ5k7 Regards Baz

Okso the oiii filters what do they produce. Just want to get a feel of which I'd the best one to purchase

How do I get it to be in this colour range is this a combination of different filters etc

Brilliant so I want to be getting the heart nebula in the browns etc instead of the reds so what filter would I need is it just a uv cut or a ha filter etc I'm new to the filter thing so know nothing about it at all

This is what I'm using the inner thread is bigger than 1.25 but not 2inch

Ok so I'm using a nikon d0 cropped sensor and can't find a filter that clips in . Can I mount the filter into the adaptor that fixes the camera body to the scope

Ok so what would be the best filter to look out for please forgive the noobness

I'm using a nikon d90 and a skywatcher 200p no Focal reducer or anything else at the min
