Great video Tim thanks for sharing your work

Thanks 👍

Great video, I learned a lot from your videos, especially from the OSC processing pipeline! I learnt something cool from Cuiv, the lazy geek's channel: I use the SubframeSelector to reject bad frames with star trails, larger star eccentricity and large FHWM. It works quite well instead of the Blink tool for me, especially if you have 100+ images

how can I put those shortcuts on the right of the screen that you use :)

[@billblanshan3021]

Bias and dark pixel rejection should be "Winsorized Sigma Clipping" for better results. "Linear Fit Clipping" is best used on light frames as light frames have varying illumination where as darks and bias do not. Also, never normalize your bias and darka because the bias pedestal must be preserved!

Thanks Tim, great to see you back. Why not darks flats.

Hi Tim. Great video. I was hoping you could help me with something . So i usually use an Asiair and do live stacking and save along the way and at the end just use the last live stack and process in Pixnsight. ( no stacking) my question is I have the flats, darks and bias frames that the Asiair created in the live stacking area. Since they are single frames I am assuming they are master frames. Unlike the light frames they are stacked but not save as individual frames also. So sorry for the long winded question. What I am hoping to do or pretty much avoid is having to take flat frames again to use in Pixnsight for stacking. Is it possible and how would you use these “master flat frames in the Pixnsight stacking program. I think from watching your videos you have and Asiair. So I assume you will kinda of understand my question. Thanks in advance. Tell your parents they did good!!

I am not using live stacking, but my understanding of live stacking is that it does not subtract calibration frames, which needs to be done on single subs before stacking. I don't think you will get around taking and stacking flat frames in PixInsight
