Folks,
I am experiencing a problem I have seen others have been suffering as well (see following post as an example
http://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?topic=6061.msg41225#msg41225).
This weekend I took two sets of NB images. My NGC7380 set is working fine, but my Helix Nebula set will not calibrate. I am using MaximDL for image capture and am using standard settings (saving as 16bit images, etc). No matter what setting I use on the ImageCalibation tool, I am getting either an image like the one Richard showed or one that is a lot lighter but still all messed up (depending on whether I check calibrate or not). I have tried running the batch processing script but get the same result. I had this happen once before but it seemed to clear itself. No such luck this time.
I have processed new images as well as old ones that were calibrated under CCDStack and have not seen this before so I have no idea what is happening.
(modified to report images saved as 16bit, not 32 bit after checking Fits Header in MaximDL)
Help!!
Jim
