Basic stacking question
« on: 2014 August 21 15:57:11 »
Can someone point me in the direction to help answer the following?
The conditions:
  • 20 Stacked FIT single shot color frames bayered (Atik 460EX)
  • No darks, flats or biased
  • Images taken with temperature cooling to reduce noise and avoid darks
  • Script/Batch Preprocessing/Batch Preprocessing
  • Lights tab/+Add Lights
  • FITS selected
  • Registration image selected from one of the pre-selected, Output directory selected
  • When I execute I get:"No Master Calibration Frames or overscan regions have been specified"

Can anyone provide instruction or a link to video indicating how to perform master calibration or how to specify an overscan region? Is the workflow I am performing correct?

Thanks,
Howard[/list]

Hi Howard,

If you only need to align and stack (no calibration), use StarAlignment and ImageIntegration modules. No need to use BPP script.

Greetings!,

Enzo.
