Catalog Star Generator
« on: 2015 July 01 17:56:20 »
I'd like to try David Ault's method for registering my images to a star field produced in Catalog Star Generator. I can't find a tutorial or instructions for using the current version of CSG and I have tried about 25 times to get a star field to show up using some very generic settings but nothing but a blank window appears. Is there a tutorial or instructions available that I'm missing? I've downloaded the database but there doesn't seem to be anyway to point to it. Suggestions appreciated.

The image requires stretching or STF to see the stars.

Tried that every time. STF didn't show anything but, thanks. Would you mind displaying a screen grab of a CSG that works for you?

No problem. Here is Rigel. The first image is without STF and the second is STF applied.

Thank you, very much! Had to change the catalog to PPMXL. Works like a charm now.
