Weighted Batch Preprocessing error with 1-2 lights
« on: 2019 December 30 14:33:34 »
When I have only 1-2 light frames, I get the Weighted Batch Preprocessing error "Cannot integrate less than 3 Light frames," which makes sense.

However, even if I disable Image Integration or specify Calibrate Only, this error persists and won't let me proceed. I simply want to calibrate and align those frames. It seems that I should be able to do this even with 1-2 subs for a filter.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks,
Ralph

Hi,

The easiest way to solve this, is to duplicate the two images and then run the process with the 4 frames.  (There is some math issue with only two images ... I should have paid more attention at school).

Thanks, John, that's a clever work-around.

I assume the problem with only 2 images is that you can't do effective statistics/rejection without more samples.

If that's the case, then maybe WBPP can be altered so that this isn't a limitation if you specify Calibrate Only.

Hi,

Put your suggestion on the "Wish-List" on this forum.
