I am having an issue with Image Integration. First, equipment and software. PixInsight 1.8.8-4 ( seems every latest update requiring a uninstall reinstall and read of too many issues with files created in prior versions having issues with newer releases). Canon T3i full spectrum modified, Orion 8" Newtonian Astrograph. Baader Coma Corrector, iOptron CEM60 mount. 1st night no guiding 60 second exposures because I only manually polar aligned using Canon EOS Utility saved as Canon Raw. Bought a 60mm guide scope mounted on the rings with losmandy plate so no flex. So 2nd and 3rd nights were guided using ASI174MM camera and polar alignment error per Sharpcap Pro was "excellent" 0 to 2 arc second error and due to limits with my light pollution I held at 3 minute exposures, used Sequence Generator Pro enabled medium dithering and it saved files as FITS.
Now, I had an issue with Image Calibration from the second night because I didn't properly calibrate SGP for the flats and it gave the same error on calibration when I attempted to use the FIT light image and the CR2 flats ( I was thinking do it this way incase I screw up the FITS method because I was having difficulty setting the right decimal number for the fraction needed based on the histogram from the Canon setting. I ended up having to go back and redo my flats the next evening as the camera hadn't rotated and used the SGP Flat wizard. 3rd evening no issues.
NOW... Everything has been ran through the BatchPreProcessing by its own evening of data, I have run Image Registation (Star Alignment)on all the images and they are now stored as XISF in the debayered folder for Image Integration. I had just 4 frames that it didn't register. Going to Image Integration, as soon as finishes the first night's data which originated in CR2 and moves to the first FITS file, it tanks with Incompatible image geometry. It is one pixel different. Why can't PixInsight handle this? I am using defaults all around. The images were processed using CFA checked, for the FITS files I had to manually set Bayer Mossaic to RGGB to match the Canon format because auto didn't work. As stated, Calibrate only with the process. Registration used all the defaults. Do I need to convert the CR2 files to FITS first and how to do that? Image W/H for both CR2 and FITS frames.
