Calibration frames in ASIDeepStack

franco

ASI Studio_V1.5.5
ASI294MC pro.

Never managed to get calibration frames to work.

If I load 20 light frames and stack them, none are rejected.
If I load bias+flats I get not enough stars and 15 are rejected.
If I add dark frames I get 19 rejected and triangle match errors.

If I then remove all calibration frames, I get not enough stars and 1 frame is rejected and it hangs after the Success message appears.

All calibration frames have been made in ASIAir Autorun.

franco I followed your steps to tested in ASIStudio, didn't reproduce this problem, could you take some screenshots to show us? if possible, could you send us your fits files？

I get a stack but it's only 2 frames.

Removed all calibration frames. Application hangs but still using CPU.

Can't click the X to kill it.

Start again with lights only, no rejected frames.

franco Dear, could you send us your several fits files for each field(Share by Google Drive or DropBox)？

@asistudio@zwo#54348 1 each of the calibration frames and 5 light frames, produces a single frame stack.

franco Access to your cloud disk files requires your further approval, please go to Google Drive to confirm.

@asistudio@zwo#54389 already done yesterday.

I've also made it so that anyone with the link can see the file.

franco Hi, we have confirmed your images. You didn't focus correctly before shooting, the stars are too large!

@asistudio@zwo#54814 I don't think so. I used some flats I made recently and it works fine, I can only think the update to ASIAir 1.9 has something to do with it. I double checked by going back to the flat I sent you (made with 1.8.3) and it still fails in the same way. I couldn't see any obvious differences in the fits headers.

Here is the stack with the new flats, you can see it hasn't removed the dust bunnies which is to be expected.

Not a great shot I know, still trying to collimate the cc-8.
