Blink as Process Instance?
« on: 2016 April 17 16:24:02 »
I have recently discovered (actually more like somebody suggested it to me) the Blink tool (there's so much available in PixInsight!), and I find it great.

There's something I haven't figured out though. Is it possible to store an instance as a process icon, so that I can apply it to an image container? I think the answer may be no, but who knows?

cheers,
Richard

i think the answer is no - i actually wanted to create an .xpsm using a script for automatically generating lists of flats to blink, but as far as i can tell it's not possible.

is it that you want to winnow frames with blink and then include only those frames in an ImageContainer?

No. I'm trying to automate as far as possible the processing of a night's worth of all-sky camera (Oculus) images into a movie. I can put the images into an image container and the processing steps into a process container. However, the last step means loading all the resulting files into Blink. Clearly it works so no big problem.

thanks,
Richard
