Integration not overlaying images

Hi

Sorry if I am being stupid , I can not down load the files ??

Do you see anything? If you do, you should be able to right-click on a file to see a menu of operations, one of which would be to save the file.
Here's the list:

I apologize - not all the files got uploaded. Something went wrong in the upload. I'll let you know when they are all there.

It just might be that you can work with the 13 original files and do your own prep work on them.

Hi

Down loaded a file , but can not un pack it 

What program did you use to zip it ?

Harry

[jcinpv]

None of those files are programs. They are FITS images. Open them with PI.

Hi

I seemed to have download a zip file that I can not unzip ?

Are you saying its not zipped

Harry

[jcinpv]

Look at the extension. They not zip files. A zip file would have the extension .zip. A FITS file has the extension .fit.
There is one file that is a JPEG with the extension .jpg.
A typical filename is M3_LIGHT_120s_800iso_+25c_00437stdev_20140519-21h26m23s461ms.fit
You should be looking inside a folder that contains 13 FITS files, one JPEG, and one folder (master, containing the master Dark, Bias, and Flat).

I processed all images with CanonBandingReduction before working with BPP.

Hi John,
I am trying to understand what happens
Does DSLR Settings look like this?
Do you remmember if this was checked?

Saludos, Alejandro

One of two things is going on here. Either you are downloading the wrong file or your computer doesn't know how to deal with a FITS file. Have you even tried to open it with PI?

For the first URL, I have never used that process. I'm not even sure what is happening at the end of that video. I have to assume that performing that process sets up the configuration needed by BPP on DSLR RAW images. I have never done that.
For the second URL, yes, I have those buttons checked.
The reason I do CanonBandingReduction on the RAW files before doing any other processing is to make the files as clean as possible. CBR does a pretty good job of getting rid of the horizontal streaks that are in every Canon 60D and 60Da image that I have taken. Performing CBR after performing BPP doesn't seem to get rid of the streaks as well.

Hi John, I believe that for CBR you are using debayered images. Then in BPP you would have a mixture of debayered light and not debayered masters.
Try no using CBR, and simply introduce all your lights, bias, darks, and flats in BPP o the corresponding masters if you have them. Be sure to check CFA
Let us konw if it solves the problem.

PS. Do not worry about banding, CBR will eliminate it in your master light without problem.

The video show the difference between opening a raw image with default paremeters (debayered) and no debayered. What you see at the end of the video is a comparation of the same image opened in those different ways.

If all the images (Lights, Darks, Bias, Flats) are processed with CBR before doing BPP, and then I do BPP on the result, how could I have a mixture of debayered and not debayered?

Anyway, I'll do the next set by using CBR only on the Master Light and see what happens. Thanks.
