Batch Preprocessing Fits Header Binning problem
« on: 2013 August 07 03:16:43 »
Hi!
I am encountering problems with the Batch Preprocess.
I cannot preprocess my L(bin1) and RGB(bin2) all together.
I have to run two batches.
I take the frames with EquinoxImage.
Binned frames taken with Equinox Image on a Mac have have "IMAGEBIN - '2x2'" string in the Fits header
I see the script only recognize the strings: XBINNING and YBINNING.

Is it possible to enhance the script or is there a way to batch fix the FitsHeader of the binned rgb light frames (I can work manually on master bias, dark and flats ...but not the lights :-)

Thank you and clear dew-free skies to all!

update
if someone is interested I enquired Darryl from Equinox and he said he will kindly integrate the complementary strings in the next revision

Hi Riccardo,

The BatchPreprocessing script recognizes the XBINNING, BINNING and CCDBINX header keywords (the script only works with square pixels, so Y-axis binning is ignored). Including additional keywords would be very easy (you can do that yourself: just add the required keyword after line 668 of BatchPreprocessing-engine.js). However, the keyword's value must be a single integer literal equal to or greater than one, not an arbitrary string such as '2x2'.
