I am wondering if anybody can help me troubleshoot a nasty issue with my files, which I have been fighting for weeks now with very little or no success.
I use a modded Canon 6D DSLR and Voyager as automation software for astrophotography (https://software.starkeeper.it/). When I feed FITS for my flat, dark and light frames to the BatchPreproccessing script, the process fails with the error in subject at the step of the first light integration: Zero or insignificant signal detected (empty image?). Already reviewed some past similar issues on this forum, but I could not find much related to my case.
I figured out that the process succeeds if I remove the flats from the workflow, and just keep Dark and Light frames alone (have no Bias).
Also, if I use some lights from a friend of mine the integration process goes through; on the other hand, replacing the flats while keeping my own lights does not work. So I suspect an issue with my light configuration, even though they seem to contain good data.
Worth saying for those who are familiar with Voyager, I realized that I set the software camera output file as "Raw color" instead of "Raw monochrome", but I am not sure if this makes any difference.
I uploaded some examples of my file to my Google Drive storage, https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FmQIKQdKu1fgiimeLAbkHhdbqACdGvM0?usp=sharing
Many thanks in advance for everyone who might help or just suggest a direction for investigating!
Kind Regards
Daniele
