Gallery / Re: M33 - Pinwheel Galaxy

Thanks for the suggestion. The only bad thing is that I didn't save that mask so I should redo the process again from scratch. I'll do that soon or late...

Gallery / M33 - Pinwheel Galaxy

« on: 2012 May 05 15:08:55 »

At last I managed to have enough time to process my “first” image took with the VISAC and its focal reducer. It is also my very first time in putting a new effort in learning a new processing workflow, thanks to the wealth of features of Pixinsight, but also because I was not used to process a galaxy especially at this focal length, so learning how to deconvolve was a must. I am definetely very pleased with the result.

Thank you for the answer. I have a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz PC, do you think I could install a 64bit OS?

Thank you Juan for your information. Only one thing: did you manage to register the mosaic without applying a non linear stretch before the registration?

Thanks
Nicola

Other bit of info: going back to the previous release didn't help  now I can't get a correct registered frame anymore.
Before you ask, I executed the "reset pixinsight settings" routine.

Bug Reports / Frame registration results in chopped registered frame

« on: 2012 January 31 12:20:20 »

Hello all,

Issuing a normal frame registration between two frames, I get the new framed with a kind of chopped view, it would seem the intersection between the two frames.

Release: 1.7.4.759
Platform: Win32

See attached screenshot.

I am going back to the previous release for now....

Nicola
