New in PixInsight 1.8.5: FrameAdaptation

All sorted. Uninstalled and reinstalled PI and all now working. However, it may have been me all the time. I realised when I attempted to load the files again, that until I Added the registered files to ImageIntegration the Add localnormalisation box was blanked out!

Thanks again Rob for getting me back on the rails. My initial reaction having run it with a few files is that the integrated image is a significant improvement. Thanks everyone at PI for such great software even if it really tests an old boy like me.

Can someone give me some clarification. I am getting some odd master images resulting from running using localnormalization (LN) on sets of Andromeda Galaxy images I have. these images were taken at 60s, 120s and 300s. I have registered them all together, is the process to produce LN images in batches aligned with the exposure lengths or can they all be run together. ie add all the images into LN and run it and then all the images into Image Integration?

Putting all the subs into LN together give me an image, but still with a gradient. When I apply DBE to it I get a rather horrible result.

Any ideas please?

Hey folks,

I have tried using LocalNormalization but am running into a consistent problem, namely dark halos around my bright stars.  I see nothing in the popup help that mentions ringing and am wondering if anybody has a suggestion where to start experimenting.

Thanks,

Jim

I usually get bright halos with the default settings, Jim.  Setting Scale to 256 fixes them.  Not sure it will work in your case but worth a try if you haven't tried adjusting Scale yet.

Cheers,
Rick.

Thanks,

Will give that a shot and report back.  Could be a few days since I am well under way on a five panel mosaic of the Double Cluster.

Best,

Jim

I wonder when Juan will be ready to release the tutorials he talked about for this tool and PCC

I have a big mosaic of the Orion region with lots of gradients waiting since May, which I stopped to work on in order to make use of this promising function. Juan had promised to describe its usage in September; unfortunately now 2017 has almost passed...

Guys

I'm not trying to speaking for Juan but this posting might help a little to understand the delays. Maybe some of the other users who have had success with the tools could help. I would suggest starting a new posting in the general area and ask specific questions if possible.
