Mixing Gains?

#1

Post by lostone »


I have 2 LRGB sets of NGC 2903, One set is at Gain 0 and the other set is at Gain 100, I have the associated Darks, Flats & Bias to go with them.

The question I have is can they be mixed together during the same processing in Pixinsight (WBPP) or do they have to be done in 2 separate groups and somehow merged together afterword's? If so, How would you combine the 2 groups after WBPP???

Thanks for reading and I look forward to the answers

Hi Mark - I think that WBPP will properly select the Darks, Flats, etc. that match the Lights. However, I'm not positive.

My suggestion would be to post this question on the PixInsight Forum where there are some clever and helpful individuals who will know the answer. The link to the forum is below.

https://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php

I believe you have to "join" the forum to be able to post a question. It's free, and, you will likely have more questions as time goes on, so, joining would be a good idea.

Cheers,
Steve
