HDR composition error

[Marco F]

Hi,

can you help me figure out what is causing this error in the sum hdr

thanks

My guess: Your fits file contains multiple images.

Thanks Giorg,

I've added 15 shots for 30 seconds then I added 15 units to 900 seconds after which I opened the HDR COMPSITION and I added the two flie binning added before once launched HDR gives me this error

Hello Mark,
you can upload a screen larger, you can not read 'error.
Try to attach it to add files to the message of the forum maybe we can see better.
Giorgio

Ciao Marco,
puoi caricare una schermata con dimensioni maggiori, non si riesce a leggere l' errore.
Prova ad allegarlo in aggiungi file nel messaggio del forum forse si vede meglio.
Giorgio

If you are using files that were generated by PI when this composition fails, the error would be rather unusual. However, it is hard to read the error message in your screenshot, so maybe I missed something. Please create a readable screenshot of the error message and the settings int the HDRComposition GUI. If necessary, share the files that are causing the problem.

sorry, here is the picture

Both nucleo.fit and orione.fit are .fit files that contain 4 subimages (instead of one image with 3 channels). I think they have not been generated with PI. There are frequent problems .fit files because the FITS standard does not really define how to interpret such files.

Try loading them into PI, and generate a PI conformant .fit files. If the 4 subimages are LRGB, you need to do LrgbCombination before saving them. See output that I get with my fit files on HDRComposition below: Each .fits contains one image with 3 channels.

Georg Hello and thanks for your support

I uploaded the pictures and added with the batch script preprocessing of PI but without result reminds me always the same error, it could be that RAW files from Canon 60DA are not supported?
I also followed the tutorial that's on youtube by copying the steps but it does not sum


thanks

In the forum, there are a couple of reports of users using a Canon EOS 60D(A) with success (try the forum Search function). So I would think it is unlikely this is the reason.
Where can I find your fits files? Where can I find one of your CR2 files? Which software are you using to capture the images?
Georg

[Marco F]

ok I'll do a search on the forum among users who have the canon 60DA

to capture images using the canon eos utility by downloading directly to your PC
I'm sorry but I did not understand the other two questions
thanks

[georg.viehoever]

- I would like to have a look at your orione.fit and nucleo.fit files. Can you make these available?
- I would like to have a look at one of your Canon files. In my case, they have the ending *.CR2. Can you make these available?
- How did you convert your Canon files (.CR2) to orione.fit and nucleo.fit? I dont think you used PixInsight for this. Can you explain?
Georg

[Marco F]

Georg,

canon files (RAW) I loaded them in the batch preprocessing script without any conversion (see link) I loaded first core I've added, and then I made the file orion.

I hope I've given you the information you asked for
thanks

I'm sorry I missed the first image

Marco,

I can't help you with the screenshots you uploaded. I need the .CR2 +.fits files themselves. Upload them to Dropbox or some other file service. Something is weird here... I just dont know if it is a user error or some script problem.

Georg

[georg.viehoever]

How did you generate nucleo.fit/orione.fit? They seem to contain 4 images: the integration, 2 rejection maps and the slope map.

What you would need for HDRComposition is a fit file that contains only the integration. Maybe you can get such files by saving only the lights component of the fits files. Then feed these to HDRComposition.
