alignment issue
Calibrated with masterdark only.
Debayered.
Align: After aligning, the frames still move when viewed with Pixinsight Blink.
I assumed that, even though the original frames were moving around, the Pixinsight Star Alignment would correct for that. I guess not.
Can anyone explain might be happening here?
Thanks,
Jim

Re: alignment issue
The problem appears after alignment. The stars have not been aligned.
I'll try to think of a better way to explain this. Stay tuned.

Re: alignment issue
I assume that you are running the manual processes for pre-processing in
Are you getting that error or any other error?
Have you blinked the registered files (_r postfix) and see misalignment?
Or, are you using WBPP? If you are failing registration, the reason should be in the log.
You have been using

Re: alignment issue
" 5 star pair matches found - need at least six matched star"
I got the first error 2 times which agrees with the number of "failed" alignments.
The second error appeared numerous times but passed after several attempts.
I'm going to adjust the alignment parameters to pick up more stars.
However, I just did an experiment with an 11 frame sample:
1: calibrate, debayer, align, integrate
2: calibrate, align, integrate
" Without" debayering the integration was good.
"With debayering the integration was bad.
Hmmmm....

Interesting and makes sense.
Are you using Cosmetic Correction?

Re: alignment issue
I had issues with hot pixels when I first started using
If you are not sure how to set up CC, check out this post that I made on the

Re: alignment issue
CC corrected the alignment issue.
Adjusting the Staralign parameters for noise and sensitivity allowed 100% success with over 200 frames.

Super news Jim!
Yeah, it must have been trying to align on hot pixels.
I never had an issue until one dataset. I created a CC process icon and run it with WBPP every time.
Please consider sharing your image here when you are finished processing.
Take care!
