Bad Geometry

[DDolan1075]

Had a bad night out last night with new computer and basically could not get images plus to work with my camera (no live view) and PHD couldn't see my guide camera.  Anyways, I get home and PI won't process my images, saying that there was a geometry issue, without telling me what that was or what it meant.  I thought maybe the stars didn't align or something like that.  Anyways, I tried to look at the images with blink and got a little more detail about the geometry.  I shoot a D7000 and that is all that I have been shooting with previously.  Did the new computer with Windows 8 do something to my already bad images?

when you load images into blink, it looks at the geometry of the first image and expects all the following images in the set of files to be the same. i guess this is because the blink window dimensions are not dynamic, so it has to choose a window size somehow.

so i suppose this is a limitation of the blink tool, but i can't say what it means in your case. did you try to open images taken on one night with one piece of software at the same time you were opening images taken with another piece of software?

Hello

I'm not completely sure, but I think it is because you are mixing different formats:  JPG's and NEF.

in fact yes, now i see the screenshot. since the file names are identical, i guess that some other software has done a NEF->JPG conversion.

it's not unusual for two raw conversion tools to disagree on the image X/Y dimensions by a couple of pixels.

Thanks, I believe that I had a jpeg in the mix.  I thought that I had remove them all.
