"Invalid out format" message in PCC PI 1.8.5.1353
« on: 2017 September 16 12:51:06 »
Hi,
If carefully go through Process Console log after run of PhotometricColorCalibration, I will see "Invalid out format" message.
To be exact, 3 of them after photometry of each RGB channel.
is it intended?

Hi Yuriy,

This is a purely cosmetic issue without further consequences. We'll try to fix it in the next version.

On a side note, your application of PCC is probably using an excessive amount of reference stars, which include a lot of outliers, as you can see on the graphs. Why are you disabling the automatic limit magnitude feature?
