Hi Jack


Thanks for the support :)

Can I ask what else people would like to see done in the newbie / intermediate area ( I will leave the full monty jobs to Juan and Alex )

Mind you it would be nice to see the night sky I have not done any imaging for 4 months :'(

Topics that might be interesting (dont' know if you already covered them):

- Image Container: Powerful but not necesarily intuitive
- HDR Composition Script
- Getting Help: a guide to the several places where you can  find help for PI...

First .. thanks for the new video.  Very helpful.  I played around with some of the techniques on an image where I was having problems with "star growth" that was flooding out a nebula, in addition, the image had some tracking issues, -- the techniques in your video helped to shrink the stars as well (didn't help the nebula of course ... but oh well).

As for future stuff... I would like to see something on the ATrousWaveletTransfrom process, in particular where it might "fit" in the overall workflow, and other "ideas" on how to use it.  I've played around with it a little, but it has been just stumbling around in the dark trying to find out what to do with it.

Hi Cheyenne

Why does the star reduction effect the nebula ??? normally the mask stops this?

Now I must admit the ATWT is a bit fiddly and need more practice( Loads and Loads of practice ) myself before doing a tutorial

No.. the star masks were protecting the nebula (good thing).  I was able to clean up some star trails (good thing), but of course I couldn't help the nebula (not PI's fault... just bad tracking on my part).

-- I've only recently gotten a tracking issue resolved. I ended up having to do some worm gear adjustments to eliminate a periodic error that was combined with a backlash issue (took forever to track down -- no pun intended).

Great work Harry.

I have uploaded a 'sequel' to your video, showing just one extra way of working with the Image Container
