New Scripts and Modules / Starnet++ Installation on iMac Running Catalina

« Last post by Astrovetteman on 2020 March 02 09:45:51 »

Has anyone figured out how to install Starnet++ on an iMac running Catalina in the new version of Pixinsight, as of now??  I know some others had reported problems last week and I may have missed a post on a solution to the problem.  It installed, fine, on the previous version of Pixinsight but when I downloaded the new version and tried to reinstall Starnet++ nothing is found in the recursive search (or just plain search) in the Install Modules.
Thanks!

Hi Mark,

according to your description you are not following Vicent's recommendations for the preparation of the MasterFlat (your steps 1. and 2. c). In his tutorial, Vicent recommends to calibrate each individual flat frame and integrate the calibrated flat frames to the MasterFlat. If an in this way calibrated MasterFlat was prepared, it is not correct to check the option 'Calibrate' in the 'Master Flat' section during the calibration of the light frames.

Please produce a new MasterFlat by the following procedure:
- Calibrate the individual flat frames with the MasterBias, then
- integrate the calibrated flat frames to the new MasterFlat.

Use this new MasterFlat for the calibration of the light frames using your settings, except that in the 'MasterFlat' section the option 'Calibrate' is unchecked.

Please report whether the warning "Warning: No correlation between the master dark and target frames" still appears.

The warning for my setup started in 1.8.8-4 or maybe sooner.  It could be the purple text that draws more attention.

My setup has served me well for most of 9 years.  It's based on Vincent Peris' recommendations early on.

My interpretation for the Atik 383L+ mono CCD:
1.  Bias, Darks and Flats are each only integrated.
2.  Lights are calibrated with --
  a)  Master Bias (Calibrate unchecked)
  b)  Master Dark (Calibrate n Optimize checked)
  c)  Master Flat   (Calibrate checked)

This now generates the Correlation warning. 

If I un-check "Optimize" under Master Dark, the warning does not appear.  Statistics on the two resulting calibrated Lights are similar, but not identical.

1.  Should I just ignore the warning?
2.  Based on Bernd's recommendation, should I just dump the Master Bias.  Is this good practice?

Thanks Guys,
Mark

No installation issue at all on MBP with Catalina 10.15.3
  
All is running like a charm


Starnet++ issue should be solve and all will be perfect (even if the real Pixinsight part is already perfect as Starnet is not part of Pix)

Hi
The Image Annotation script fails if 'Show Markers' is not selected (except for Grid and Constellations). The error message is: "TypeError: markerIndex is undefined".

Hi Juan,

I have joined the SiompleMachines forum to see if I can get a fix for the problem so leave it with me for now.

BTW the avitar's seem to have disappeared now as well

tensorflow can live in /usr/lib at least on older versions of os x and pi, so hopefully installation of the tensorflow dylibs into the pixinsight application bundle is not necessary.

the zip file for starnet is on sourceforge at

It seems this is a known problem with the latest 2.0.17 security update of Simple Machines forum:

If somebody knows how to solve this problem, I'd appreciate any information. Right now I am unable to resolve this. Please use links to externally stored images for now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Why not update to version 1.8.8-5 and give that a whirl.
