DSLR calibration
« on: 2013 October 16 10:04:25 »
I'm a lost puppy to this whole thing.  I've read and watched the tutorials on the web but I'm confused on calibration of darks and bias.  I understand preparing the DSLR RAW format module but confused on where to go after that.  DO you produce your master dark and bias frames in the batch reprocessing script by themselves or do you add the lights and do the whole process at once.  Or do you the ImageIntegration module to produce each of the masters first then use the ImageCalibration tool.  Should have gotten a Phd instead of a MD

you can actually just dump all your CR2 subexposures into BPP - all the dark subs, all the flat subs, all the bias subs, all the light subs, and it should get sorted out.

if you tick the boxes that save the masters, then you can load those instead of the dark, bias, flat subs next time, and check "use master frames" on the next and subsequent runs... until you decide you need to make new darks or flats...
