Master Bias
« on: 2015 October 06 13:00:00 »
I've used ImageIntegration to (hopefully) make a master bias.  I get three files, two rejection ones and an integration one.  Is that last one the master bias?  Do I do a file > save as, and name it master bias?  I'm starting with Canon raw files (.CR2) -- should I save it as .xisf?

Thanks!

I need a PI for Dummies book.

You have that all correct, including saving the file as an .xisf. 

It gets easier, at some point  :o

Best,

Thanks, Jim -- again and again!  The slope is beginning to decrease -- mostly due to your patience and thoroughness answering questions, and to your Cribsheet!

Now let's see if I can do the Flats for a recent session.  I may be back....

Now if I only knew what I was talking about, we'd be all set  ;)

Hi Jim,
I think I've just learnt a new english word or expression: false modesty...  ;) :)

If only it were false, but most of the time I feel like a beginner.  We are all in this together, brother.

Best,

Jim
